Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend Year 3’s class assembly. We have been learning all about Hinduism in R.E. and shared some of the stories that we have learnt in Hinduism.
We told the Hindu creation story, the story of Holika and Prahlard and shared what we know about mandirs and Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
In Year 1, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. The superheroes needed our help and Year 1 came to the rescue! Superman needed a waterproof cape and Batman needed a new batcave. Year 1 have been scientist predicting, investigating and recording their findings.
This morning Reception had a fantastic time in the MUGA with Mr Burton. They did a running race, egg and spoon race, throwing and catching and an obstacle course. They had so much fun and all received a gold medal for taking part. Thank you to parents and carers for being a great audience, it really meant a lot to the children. And a big thank you to Mr Burton for organising!
Well done Reception! 
Following on from their work investigating which substances were soluble, year 5 generated their own questions about whether they could speed up the rate at which substances dissolved. We worked in groups to choose a question to investigate and see if we could make jelly dissolve faster. Groups investigated whether the size of the piece of jelly affected the rate or the temperature of the water or the number of times it was stirred. We recorded our observations and the time taken to completely dissolve before writing a conclusion.
Visiting St. Clement’s Nursing Home
On the twenty eighth of June 2018, six people from Nursery – Sophie, Eliza, Subhan, Ayaan, Mariam and Christianna visited St. Clement’s Nursing Home. During our visit, we met a variety of people who had very different personalities.
We arrived at five past ten in the morning; we were welcomed by Naomi and Simone who led us upstairs to meet the residents. The nursery children sang for eight different adults. The first song the children sang was ‘Six Little Monkeys’ which some of the adults even joined in with. In total the children sang four different songs and told one story. They sang Six Little Monkeys, Ba Ba Black Sheep, Wheels on the Bus and Five Men in a Flying Saucer and the story was ‘ We are Going on a Bear Hunt’ which everyone seemed to enjoy.
After singing, the children had a cold drink [squash]. Approximately five minutes after a soothing drink, the children did some colouring with the adults at the nursing home. Ayaan coloured with Lorraine, Christiana coloured with Princess Mary [they call her that because she’s always wearing a crown] and Lesley coloured with Mariam. They all coloured in pictures of animals in a zoo. Eugenia, resident of the Nursing Home, sang ‘Daisy Daisy’ over and over and again with Lesley.
Overall, the nursery children had an amazing time with the teachers and the adults at St. Clements Nursing home and we cannot wait till the next visit.

It is great to see the children growing in confidence. They are now more able in their movements and engagement.
By using a range of exciting equipment, the children are able to explore and build on their experiences.

This week in science we have looked at classification keys. We studied Carl Linnaeus ,who was a Swedish scientist, who discovered a way to classify and name all life on Earth
We studied how he did this and put our new knowledge to the test and skilfully sorted all types of pasta into groups, looking at similarities and differences.
