Y4 finished our expedition in style with a celebration of learning to share their story of this term’s work. Firstly, the children delivered an overview of each case study in the school hall before venturing back to class to engage in some science experiments and celebrate the work in their books. What a fantastic way to punctuate an amazing term with our amazing children. Have a great Easter everyone.
On Thursday morning, the school nursing team visited years 5/6 to talk to the children about the importance of sleep. The children learned about the amount of sleep they should be getting 9-11 hours per night.
The team also discussed how a regular team could benefit children in their efforts to get to sleep at a reasonable time each night. Refraining from using electronic devices an hour before bed (a suitable cut off time) was also mentioned as a solution to help the brain prepare for sleep.
Reading in bed, listening to calming music, drawing and colouring were highlighted as activities children can use to reduce cognitive activity in the brain before bed.

Rounding off our learning on properties of shape, the children investigated finding the various nets of a cube in pairs before turning their attention to some tricky nets SATs questions involving visualising the nets of different shapes. All pairs showed excellent teamwork, determination and, as usual, fantastic learning attitudes were on show. Great work, crew!
Catapults: Science Week Activity!
Thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our science afternoon in year six. The children were put through a series of STEM challenges before creating their own lollipop stick catapults. Each catapult was tried and tested in the hall with their creations sporting colourful designs.

We have been so impressed with the t-shirt designs around school today. Below are the winners from the different classes, voted for by the children. Our overall winner, picked by Mrs Smith is . . . William!
We will make sure all of our winners get their prizes on Monday morning – well done everyone!
