We’ve begun our new area of learning in geography in Year Five – Scandinavia. As a start to this unit, we investigated the continent of Europe via an atlas hunt. The children demonstrated a fantastic understanding of the different countries in Europe and their locality.

The children are learning about how different types of fossils are made. To supplement our learning, we recreated the process that forms a body fossil using plaster of Paris (sediment) and shells (bones). Children then presented their knowledge of fossils as a poster.
Year One have been practising their gymnastics skills, working hard to create sequences with jumps, rolls and balances! Every week their confidence and skills increase and it is wonderful to witness their focus when working in their PE lessons! 🏆
Year Four enjoyed practising and applying their games skills in PE this week when involved in a range of invasion games. Excellent team work and defending!
Year Two have been learning about Islam recently. This week, they learnt about a story called A Slave Set Free. They acted the story out before creating jigsaws based on a scene from the story.
