This week Year 1 have been looking at the story ‘Supertato’. We have been busy learning the story off by heart, re-telling the story to our friends, and becoming the characters. We now know the story off by heart and have written the story using our clever sentence writing. In art, we made a design of Supertato with a brand new cape and mask. After we created our design we made our very own Supertato!
In PHSE this week we talked about Rory and Jasmines abilities, interests and what they are learning to do.
Children had to think of the non-curriculum based things they are learning to do and feeling proud of what they are learning to do. Discussion then lead to their likes and dislikes.

During PSHE, Year 5 children have focused on thinking about the words which we use carefully. We discussed the consequences and effects of our words and how our words may affect people. A selection of children acted out a scenario, which demonstrated how our words can have a negative affect and the class made suggestions on how to use our words in a positive way.
During PSHE this week, Year 3 have looked at saving money. We discussed different ways to save money and thought about making gifts for our loved ones instead of buying gifts. We discussed how this might make our loved ones feel and what we could do with this money instead.
Year 5 have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians. They have been fascinated by mummys and the act of mummification. As an introduction to our topic and to engage the children in our learning, Mrs Webster pretended to mummify Mr Burton.
We learnt that first the brain was pulled out of the nose using a special hook. Next all of the internal organs are removed. Then the body is covered in salt to dry it out, finally it is wrapped in cloth strips.
We saw internal organs (luckily from a sheep not Mr Burton’s!) in special jars called Canopic Jars.
In RE Year 6 are learning about eternity ,including the Christian perspective on this. The question to be discussed was Does anything last forever? The children worked in groups and had statements to debate. The statements were: What lasts forever, What they would wish to last forever and In their life time what has lasted forever. This proved to be an interesting and lively discussion with many valid statements and justifications.
Today, Year 1 performed their class assembly to the whole school and to the parents. The assembly was about Noah’s Ark and the special promise that God made to the world. The narrators and the children with speaking parts spoke loudly and beautifully for everyone to hear. All the children tried really hard and all the teachers are very proud of them!
Well done Year 1!

This week in maths, Year 2 have been exploring shape and symmetry.
Some of us have been on a shape hunt searching for what 2D and 3D shapes we can find in our environment. We have found footballs that are spheres, plant beds that are cuboids and windows that are rectangles. 
We have also explored symmetry and finding the mirror image of patterns pictures. We have created our own symmetrical patterns using paint, loom bands and peg boards. Then we tried to find the line of symmetry on 2D shapes. This was tricky because we had to be really accurate and precise!
This half term in RE Year 3 are exploring Jesus and the miracles he performed. We are trying to answer the question :-
Could Jesus really heal people?
Today we looked at the miracle of healing of the paralysed man.
To help us understand the story more we used role play.
