We have had a great start to our new term, lovely to catch up with the exciting holiday news and see everyone again.
We started our new science topic this afternoon , thinking about different materials and what things are made of. We enjoyed looking around school for things made of wood, metal, brick, plastic, fabric, rubber and paper.

Eggcellent Easter bonnets, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 4th Apr 2019 @ 6:55pm
Well done all the Elephants who made fantastic Easter bonnets for our parade, they were all different and all amazing😊 and the children were rightly proud of their beautiful bonnets.
Today we also enjoyed working in expert groups to share information about the different animal groupings. Some wrote about mammals,some birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish. We then shared our facts and used them to write our own factfiles. We impressed our teachers with our fabulous writing.
We also had fun teaching Jigsaw Jack how to cross the road safely.

Multi-faith week, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 1st Apr 2019 @ 3:49pm
Last week we took part in multi faith week. We were a little later than the rest of the school because we’d been away enjoying Hothersall Lodge, but we soon caught up! We spent the week looking at religious clothing and what significance they have in those religions. We also looked at PeaceMala bracelets and discussed equality and discrimaination. We have created these 3D paper mashier faces portraying some of the religious people that we discussed throughout the week...we’re really proud of them! Some children were even kind enough to be our very own religious experts and shared their own beliefs with us.

Remember to check the denominators before doing anything. You do not have to simplify your fraction unless the question asks. Always use the lowest common form.

Time has flown by this week.. our maths topic has been time. We made out own clocks to shadow what we knew about time, we have looked at analogue and digital time, the calendar , learnt about 24 hour time and spent time explaining our answers to reasoning questions.
We have also spent time being historians , thinking about what the Romans did for us , discussing a whole host of things we were left with when the Romans left Britain.The discussions were outstanding as we all chose our 8 most important things and explained why we had chosen them.
