This week in Design and Technology, we learnt how to follow a recipe and make Eton Mess. We chopped and mashed some strawberries, crushed some meringues, stirred in some Greek yoghurt and sweetened it up with a sprinkle of caster sugar. It was delicious!

First, the children watched a film clip of a busy city in the rain and then drew their own. After that, they labelled it with words and phrases. The final
We have been learning to tell the time to the nearest quarter of an hour and 5 minutes. We used the clocks to consolidate our learning.
We have used the skills we have recently learned in Design Technology to make a card with a moving superhero figure using a slider mechanism. They all look fabulous ready for Sunday!
We are over the moon with the number of children who have taken part in the maths challenge and created a scene using 3d shapes. Well done!
Year 1 and 2 children are thoroughly enjoying being heard read by the Year 6 reading ambassadors. They are becoming more confident at reading to someone new and answering some questions about their book. Keep it up everyone!
In science, we are conducting an investigation using cress seeds, to see if water is an important variable when growing plants. We have each predicted whether the cup ‘with water’ or ‘without water’ will germinate. We also got to plant our own sunflower seeds too!
It was brilliant to see the Gymnastics competitions back at school. The children worked so hard in their PE lessons and clubs to be chosen to represent the school at the brilliant Tribe Centre. The children were taught a floor and vault routine that was scored as we competed against the other schools in Coventry East. The Year 3 team
