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.

On 8th March, our girls took part in the countrywide celebration of #thisgirlcan by playing football with each other. They shared their skills, discussed tactics and had a lot of fun!
2C learned how to use a range of measuring cylinders to work out the capacity of cups and bottles. They estimated first, then worked as a group to measure accurately in millilitres, without soaking each other!
The children used clay to explore how to create sharp and spiky textures. They used their fingers to manipulate the clay and created some wonderful examples. We thought they looked just like real-life stalagmites!

The beach hut project is well underway in Year 2, with the children learning how to measure, cut and join wood together in preparation for making their beach hut frames next week.
We have started our new Design and Technology topic called Beach Hut. We have spent two afternoons working on making our structures stronger, stiffer and more stable. We used newspaper, card, masking tape and paper. Now we are ready to make the real things out of wood!
