Our big question this term is: Who made the world? The children listened to the first part of the Creation story and then painted what they thought God may have created on the sixth day.

We then thought about why it is important to care for God’s creation and how people might do this.

A repeat of years gone by, we were blessed with warm weather on which to celebrate and remember the day that Victory came to Europe.

We began with a moving service from Rev Chris, and enjoyed our lunch outside with the whole school in attendance.

This term we are learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at where it fits on a timeline and learnt about the 3 different parts of the Stone Age. We learnt about animals through our literacy text; Cave Baby, and are now learning about what life was like through The Stone Age Boy.

This week we looked at fosilised poo (coprolite) from the Stone Age times. By learning through hands-on experiences the children get to investigate, infer and explore what happened in the past.

Next week we are learning how to cook as the Stone Age people would have done – on an open fire!

We have been on a bug hunt, learnt about the key things animals, humans etc need to survive and thoroughly enjoyed all our Science Week expermients.

We created posters to encourage people to protect our environment to help animals and wildlife survive.

We celebrated our mothers and special women in our lives this week.

Mothers, aunts, grandmothers were invited into school on Wednesday to join us in a worship of thanks and to craft together.

We had an amazing turn out and lots of fun – Thank you to all who joined us for this special day, and for all you do!

In English this term we have been studying the story of Funni, who clears up and develops her own oasis of calm in a disused carpark. It’s a story of friendship and care for our environment.

We began the term working through the story through drama with Ian from Kic Theatre, the children thought about emotions, and feelings through the story.

We looked deeply into the characted of Funni and then thought about our own friendships.. here are a few snippits of our descriptions about our own friends…

This term we are learning about the different parts of the globe. We have looked at the continents of the world and the Equator.

We have learnt which areas of the world have the hottest climates and which have the coldest climates.

We created our own globes to really think about the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
