Take a look at our delicious seasonal tarts! Can you spot which tasty ingredients we chose to include?
We practised our chopping skills in DT this week and tasted seasonal foods!
To celebrate Science Week, we continued our learning about the parts of a plant. We focused on the stem's job of transporting water from the roots to the rest of the plant. We even watched this happen as our flowers and celery absorbed some coloured water to turn other parts of the plant blue!
Book Day 2025! We've had the best day dressing up as book characters, hiding book titles in sentences during a game of Book Hide and Seek and we even went on a Book Hunt following mysterious clues!! We ended the day with some peaceful ERIC time in the outdoors!
Pancake Toss Day!
Check out our collages of Viking boats! Can you spot the dragon faces to show status and scare away the opposition?
Today we started learning the chorus of our Viking song to chant whilst we row our boats from Scandinavia across to England ready to invade!
Today, we developed our measuring skills by using metre sticks to estimate and measure distances over 1m...
This term, we have been working incredibly hard at perfecting our pilates poses! We have been travelling around the world to visit the London Bridge (bridge), Egyptian Sphinx (plank) and helicopters in Australia (shoulder stand)!
In Computing, we have been learning to code and give commands using Scratch. Today, we made our sprites move when different events occurred!
In RE we have been learning all about Islam. In today's lesson, we learned about the Muslim place of worship - the mosque - and designed our own mosques to include all of the appropriate features. Can you spot where the shoes are taken off? What about the Wudu where Muslims wash before prayers? You might also be able to find prayer mats and a patterned dome!
This term we have refreshed our knowledge on a running stitch and also learnt how to cross stitch and use applique on some Egyptian collars!
Time for the Christmas Fair!
This morning, we had a special Christmas Exhibition where we learned lots of interesting details about the story of Christmas!
This morning, we proudly presented all of our learning from this term! We told our family, friends and the rest of the school about our work on Shakespeare, Ancient Egyptians and still life art - what do you think of our pears and fruit bowls? We even showed everyone how we can count to 10 in French and sang our funny Mummy Song!
Today we had Egyptian Day! We spent the day enriching our learning about Ancient Egypt. We danced like Egyptians, mummified tomatos, made flatbread and learned how to write in heiroghlyphics! We finished the day with an Egyptian feast of grapes, raisins, honey and our homemade bread!
Here's a sneak peek at some of our Egyptian dancing!
In computing, we are learning that pictures can move and that we call these animations. Here we are creating flipbook animations of someone waving or kicking!
Today we went to Chiltern Open Air Museum to lean about the Stone Age & Iron Age and we were so busy with activities! We made flatbread and butter, created our own clay pots, learnt how to make fire and so much more! Check out the photos of our day...
We have been working on writing persuasively in English! We performed some persuasive speeches to Mr Wonka, convincing him to sell our chocolate bars in his shop! Can you spot our alliteration, flattery, rule of three and exaggeration? Which chocolate bar sounds irresistible to you?!
