We also became news reporters to present the information we learnt about the space station for the local news programme. We are also designing and beginning to build our moon buggies this week as part of our Design and Technology learning. We are so excited for our trip to the International Space Station and to learn more interesting facts about space!

We thought about how he was feeling at different points of the book.Our investigation area was ful of pumpkins, leaves,acorns, fir cones and beech nuts! Wew have made leaf people and done leaf printing.
In Maths we have become shape experts - not just naming them but recognising some of their properties.
We are looking forward to starting our new topic Night and Day next week.

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to our parents in class 5 for all your time and effort with the children’s home learning projects. We had some very creative pumpkin entries for our competition and we are so impressed with the space rockets the children have made at home. Your support really does make a difference to your children and their learning, so again THANK YOU!

Class 8's FANTASTIC work on Black History Curriculum Week.
Date: 27th Oct 2020 @ 8:45am
During curriculum week the whole school looked at the Black History. Class 8 had studied Rosa Parks, who in 1955 travelling home on a bus, refused to stand up from her seat for a white person. This was against the law at the time and Rosa Parks was jailed and fined, however this one person’s stand ended up changing the law. We also studied Martin Luther King, who helped Rosa Parks among many to stand up for equal rights. The children took part in a variety of activities like acting out famous scenes, researching all about the life of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, writing fact files, drawing portraits and they carried out debates about equal rights where they raised questions and discussed them.

Black History week - Mary Seacole
Date: 23rd Oct 2020 @ 8:39pm
This week in Class 3 we only had two days to do our curriculum week learning, but we worked really hard in class, and had two fantastic days learning all about Mary Seacole for black history week.
Class 3 took part in lots of different activities and even became super doctors and nurses creating our own herbal remedies just like Mary Seacole, as well as producing some beautiful portraits of her.
We learnt lots of new super facts and wrote some brilliant sentences to describe her using lots of different adjectives. We were so impressed with all of the things that the children remembered. We can't wait to start our new topic next half term , learning all about another nurse - Florence Nightingale.
We hope class 3 have a lovely week off school, and we can't wait to see them when they return!

This Curriculum Week Class 1 have really enjoyed finding out lots of new information about Ella Fitzgerald the famous singer. We learned about her early life and how she started to perform after winning a Talent Show - our own Talent Show in Golden Time on Friday should be lots of fun!
One of our favourite songs by Ella Fitzgerald is 'Happy Talk'. The chorus says ... 'You have to have a dream, if you dont have a dream, how you going to have a dream come true?' We had a lovely circle time where we shared our dreams for the future. If our dreams come true we will have lots of doctors,policemen, racing drivers and teachers in the future!

Nelson Mandela!
During Black History week we have loved learning all about Nelson Mandela and his life. We explored Nelson Mandela in more detail, as an inspirational figure that fought for change for black people. The children were eager to learn lots about him and expressed their thoughts and feelings about his time in prison and how he wanted equal rights for all in South Africa. We are so proud of how thoughtful and empathetic all the children were when thinking about how tough his life had been.
The work that they have produced is amazing and below are a few examples from a variety of children in Class 6.

This week is Curriculum week. We are Inspired by... Black History and will be learning all about the Windrush generation.
Windrush Day takes place on 22 June, remembering the day when around 500 migrants from the Caribbean arrived at Tilbury Docks in Essex in 1948.
Britain was just starting to recover from World War Two back then. Thousands of buildings had been bombed, lots of houses had been destroyed and it all needed to be rebuilt.
In the Caribbean, lots of young men and women had served in the British armed forces because at the time, many Caribbean countries were still under British rule and not yet independent.
After the war, some of these people answered an advert to come to Britain where there were lots of different jobs to do.
Other people just wanted to see Britain, which they had heard so much about.
