Year 6 have been learning all the about the layers of the rainforest and the features of each layer including the conditions and the animals that live there. We then brought our learning together in the form of a flap book!
Layers of the rainforest
It’s all beginning to add up! ➕
This morning, 6CC’s pencils were ablaze as they scorched their books with their hard work and resilience. Looking at column addition, the children have begun effectively and efficiently find the total larger numbers and demonstrate their reasoning through identifying misconceptions of people in the problem-solving and showing their thinking through pictorial representations. Top effort, guys! 😊👍
Dribbling Skills ⚽️
This week Yr 5 we’re practising dribbling skills in PE. The children used different parts of their foot to control the ball and enjoyed playing a range of games to develop these skills.
Split Art!
Children in 6EG have worked collaboratively to create an awesome piece of art work of an animal from the Amazonian rainforest. They had to work carefully and precisily together to ensure the sections of the image matched which took concentration and teamwork!

Garden Restoration Complete
During the first few weeks of term, Y4 have been working feverishly to restore the Nursery garden to its former glory and this week we sowed some wild seed that will hopefully bloom in the coming months. The activity required the children to work together in stages to go from a weed ridden area to something that we can be proud of.
Didn’t they do well!
Mini Amazon Habitats!
During hook week, 6SO created some amazing Amazon habitats complete with model animals! They researched the kind of habitat that their creatures would live in and recreated this using paint, card, tissue paper and more! We then did a gallery walk and praised all the hard work and effort that the pupils put in to their mini habitats. Great work 6SO!
Yorkshire Wildlife Park
The students had a wonderful time at Yorkshire Wildlife Park last week, exploring the different areas and comparing the characteristics of each animal to those within the rainforest. The Amazonia section gave us some good information about the rainforests and the animals found there. We look forward to learning more about the rainforests and their inhabitants.
“Is that a jaguar?!” “Nope, It’s VR!” 😄🐆
Rather than take a long haul 11 hour flight to Brazil, years 5 and 6 enjoyed a digital immersive experience on Monday as they tried virtual reality. Coming face to face with a variety of rainforest animals, from jaguars to sloths, the children got a real taste of the jungle and the diversity of life that lives within it. Thank you, Prime VR! 👍🏼😄📷
Y3 Invade Murton with Park
What a way to start our expedition! On Tuesday, Year 3 were extremely excited as we went on our fieldwork to Murton Park. We started the day by donning our tunics and dressing up as Romans.
We had amazing lessons from the Centurian and took part in three fabulous workshops: writing in latin, creating clay oil lamps and training to be a Roman soldier.
The children were a credit to the school and themselves, being praised by Murton Park staff members for their exemplary behaviour and engagement.
