Proudly presenting our LPA team of Parent Champions.
We meet every week on a Friday at 9.30 and everyone is welcome to join us. Next half-term, we are going to be supporting some Triple P parenting solutions - more information to follow.
During our family learning session, children worked with their parents and carers to answer questions that made comparisons. Eg. do people with longer arms have longer legs? Do children or adults have a faster reaction time?
In Year 2, the pupils thoroughly enjoyed their writing unit all about an egg they discovered on the school field. They wrote about what they thought could be inside the egg and used words to describe what it looked like. They were thrilled when the egg hatched and a strange-looking alien called Nanoo emerged. They wrote a letter to Nanoo to tell her all about life on planet Earth. Finally, they wrote an adventure story about Nanoo and her experience on Earth. Having such an exciting thing to write about meant that the pupils produced some lovely pieces of work. Well done year 2!
Year 4 have been fortunate enough to experience a series of hands on learning cooking sessions throughout the half term, courtesy of a professional chef! They’ve had the opportunity to develop their knife skills, expand their palates with food tasting, make their own fresh salads and they each made their own fresh bread which they then took home to bake - with some delicious results!
The children discussed what foods are healthy for them and how different types of food help our bodies. They then tasted ‘the rainbow’ of different fruits and vegetables and talked about whether they liked them or not.
On Thursday 24th April, Year 5 embarked on a captivating Egyptian Day! Stepping into the world of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Nefertiti, students experienced life in ancient Akhenaten during a significant event: the appointment of a new high priest.
The day was filled with hands-on activities, including learning about mummification, creating canopic jars and amulets, making ink and writing, baking bread, and crafting perfume cones.
The day culminated in an Egyptian feast and exciting performances of plays and dances by the students. It was a truly amazing and immersive start to their new Egyptian topic!
