Last week was World Space Week. Children, in Years 1 to 6, enjoyed a special lesson walking through our solar system in 3D. Pupils gazed in awe and then made unique mnemonics to remember the order of the plants.
Linking with Black History month the children learnt how Maggie Adern Pocock had overcome many challenges to become a modern-day space scientist. You can see the presentation to the children here.

To support our work with our topic ‘Celebrations’ please send in any photos of the children at birthdays, christenings etc. We will be making a class celebrations album.
Soon after half term, we will begin rehearsals for our nativity. This year we will be joining with Year One children to perform Baarmy Bethlehem. I’m hoping a few Reception children will be keen to take a small speaking part.
Thank you for your support with handwriting at home. There is already significant improvement in pencil grip, control and letter formation.
It was great to see everybody at the parent’s consultation meetings over the last couple of weeks. Thank you for your support so far and for helping the children get off to a great start this year.

Both Year 2 classes have loved creating their lighthouse models as part of our learning on Grace Darling. Lots of talk took place about the sea rescue, where the SS Forfarshire would have been shipwrecked and what it would be like to live in rooms with round walls. The children are very excited to take their models home and continue to add detail to them.
A fun way to finish off our first history topic this year.

Year 6 Playleaders put their training into practice this week and set up some games to play with Pre-Prep children at lunchtime. As you can see from the photos everyone had a awful lot of fun.
