World Book Day in Mrs Robinson's class
Date: 2nd Mar 2018 @ 2:12pm
We had great fun during World Book Day. We all had fantastic costumes and we loved talking to our friends about which character we were and which book they were from. Mrs Duggan's class came over to give us our books and they were wonderful. So much effort and time had gone into them, another huge big thanks to all the children in the class. I wonder if you can guess who we came as?

Do you want to build a snowman?
Date: 27th Feb 2018 @ 10:47am
We all arrived at school this morning full of excitement to find the school had been transformed into a Narnia like winter wonderland by the snow that had fallen through the night. How else could we start the day than indulging in a snowman building competition before it melted away!? The children in Mrs Sutton's class showed fanstastic teamwork and resourcefulness to build our wonderful snowman 'Edmund'. We also had great fun doing it!

Debates with Miss Carr's class and our Year 1 buddies
Date: 8th Feb 2018 @ 2:50pm
Our School Council representatives have been working hard to prepare a debate on the topic of...
Should we have homework.
Our buddy Year 1 class - Mrs Gerrard/Mrs Burke's class came to join us and listened carefully to the debate.
Esta had some excellent points to make about how we should use our free time to join clubs and spend time with our families after a long day working in school.
Olivia argued that practising work independently at home that we have learnt at school with the teacher gives us more confidence and makes us happier to try new things. She said that we need to get as much time to practise school work as possible to get a good job when we are older.
The vote was very close
28 votes for YES we should have homework
27 votes for NO, we shouldn't have homework
After our careful listening and concentration we had a play outside with our buddies!

Last week, the Year 4 classes celebrated learning about food and nutrition by preparing their own healthy sandwiches. The children had been preparing for this in Design Technology by investigating and tasting different types of bread and then chose their own fillings. The children brought in their own ingredients and together, as a class, we prepared some mouthwatering snacks. Take a look at our photos and try not to get 'food envy.'
