2MG have been researching Blue Whales so we decided to go out and measure one out. The whale was so big that we had to go on the KS2 playground and it only just fit! It was even bigger than the HMS Beagle that we measured out earlier in the year. We stretched out our arms to make a line and the whole class comfortably fit inside this enormous animal.

3HC and 3LE have had an enjoyable mathematical week!

Year 3 produced Fibonacci Art. We discussed the mathematics of the pattern and the children made predictions. Next, we used compasses and measures (centimetres) to produce circles of different sizes. 

3HC  created a price list for the Summer Festival stall  and solved challenging mathematical problems related to predicted profits potentially made on Saturday. 3LE created a Fibonacci Poem as a class.

This week we have been celebrating Maths Week by completing Maths Trails and opening our own shops!

LB1 have been looking at the weather throughout the year and today we made bar graphs to show how the temperature changed throughout the year. We found that December was the coldest but, unsurprisingly, the last few months have been much hotter.

Look at Olivia’s hard work to find the answers to these maths sums. She put in lots of effort and persevered when she found it difficult. Well done Olivia, I am proud of your efforts. Miss Salisbury

Great work Year 5 on your fractions and percentages learning this term. \it was great to see your masterclasses around school showing children and adults the steps to success. 

A very impressive piece of Home Learning Olivia. Thank you for sharing this with me, it was an interesting and enjoyable read.

What a fantastic dinosaur painting by Elisa in Nursery class! I love all the details she has put into her picture and the bright colours she has chosen. 

LB1 had great fun looking at small objects through the microscope.  They looked at seeds, leaves and other interesting items .
