We had a visit today from Alan from the RNLI. He told us all about the amazing work they do. He also shared ways we can keep ourselves safe when we are near the water. 

We created animal homes using a variety of natural materials. Then we tested them to see if they were waterproof or absorbent - two words we learnt in our Materials topic! We found out the more layers, the better! Team work makes the dream work!

We have thought about our own personal special places and looked at why churches are important for Christians.

Today we investigated special places for Muslims and found out about going to the Mosque. We listened to the “Peace…

In Science we were inspired by The Gruffalo to look closely at animal footprints. We needed to recall our measuring skills using a ruler!

We found out about The Olympic Games which begin in Paris on 26th July and had a go at some events, building our skills and our fitness! At the end of the day we celebrated with Class 2 and 3 by holding a closing ceremony and showing off our dance and performance skills. 

Class Three took part in a very exciting PE enrichment day at Mary Howard this week. The activities were all themed around the Olympics and the children practised their javelin, long jump, boccia and sprinting skills along with completing an obstacle course. They demonstrated love and koinonia…

We had great fun experimenting with colours. We identified primary colours - red, yellow and blue and mixed them to create orange, green and purple! 

We were very lucky to have a visit from Rhythm City and took part in a drumming workshop with a range of percussion instruments.
