Wed 01 May 2024On Wednesday, we went to Weymouth Pavillion to see a production of Charlie Cook's Favourite Book. We rode down on a coach and this was a really exciting part of the afternoon.

Year Two - Cars and Planes!
Fri 26 Apr 2024This week the children have enjoyed learning about flight through the ages. We watched some clips of how people in the past have tried to fly. There were some very interesting and crazy inventions. Some children shared their experience of flying or seeing hot air balloons.
During our English and Reading we have continued to read our book The Day The Crayons Quit. The children have explored the use of conjunctions to write longer sentences and enjoyed writing as if they were a glue stick or pencil.
In Design and Technology, the children learnt about wheels and axles. They explored different ways to fix wheels and axles to a chassis. They are very excited about making their own vehicles. Keep saving the car shaped boxes and anything that might be useful for their vehicle please.

Year 3- Writing direct speech
Fri 19 Apr 2024This week, in our English sessions, we revised how to include direct speech in our fiction writing. To do this we looked at the graphic novel, ‘Barb the Brave’, and used the grammar we had learnt to turn its comic book panels and speech bubbles into direct speech.
