This week we have all been working incredibly hard and expanded our knowledge so much further.

English we have spent the week building our descriptive writing skills based on our class story of Romulus and Remus, many of our final pieces have gone up onto our WOW Wall.

History has now brought us to the woman who fought back against the Roman invaders, Boudica. We were able to learn who she was and why the Celts found her an inspiration and how the Romans found her one of the most challenging obstacles in their path to power.

Art has lead us to continue to improve our artistic skills by blending colours into developing our upcoming landscape project based on the work of J.M.W. Turner. In addition to this we have been exploring the life of the artist himself.

We were lucky enough to celebrate our charity event with our McMillian Coffee and Breakfast morning, inviting parents into school to enjoy their breakfast with the children. With this special day we were able to come into school wearing our pajamas.

On Thursday we hosted our Macmillan coffee morning. We came to school in our pyjamas and started the day with breakfast with our parents. Later in the day, there was a cake sale. We raised the most money we ever have this year!

On Tuesday, the football team from years 5 and 6 played a tournament at Congleton High, they played against other local primary schools. Although we didn’t win we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

On Thursday all the children and some of the grown ups dressed in their pyjamas to raise money for MacMillan charity. They all paid £1 to wear pyjamas and they could also pay to have breakfast and then pay for cakes at break!!

Macmillan day was enjoyed by all, from wearing our pyjamas to eating the delicious cakes.

Year one have been reading the gingerbread man book and then had a go at making their own moving book of the story.

This week we have been further understanding the Roman Army and why they travelled so far to invade and attempt to conquer our lands. We learnt about how they wanted to make their home away from Rome as well as the tools and equipment that each soldier needed to carry.

We went to the hall to become the Year 4 Roman Army. Scan the QR codes to see our Roman Army forming to take over the school.

Year 3 are going to work in groups with Kelly the Cook. Each week some of us will make something yummy.

Last week the Class voted for School Councillors, Freddie and Lily were chosen. Our new Eco Councillors are Porscha and Olly.

Today in Maths we used Dienes to make numbers in different ways.

In Sciemce today we went outside and collected lots of different natural objects on the school playground+ Miss Trussler found some too.

In our first science lesson we went outside to explore living and non- living things. We carefully observed our discoveries and compared the difference between some of the things we found that had lived such as growing grass and cut grass.

Wow, what an amazing first week back the children have already started to learn new things about the world. This week our first Science lesson took us outside to identify different habitats around our school.

We searched the school grounds for the different places that animals like to call home including: the forest, the allotment, the pond, the trees and even the school field. We then named the animals that call our school home, as well as clarifying that, no teachers don’t live in school.

We had lots of fun in our new class today, one of the things we did was a Scavenger Hunt. We had to find lots of things in the classroom.
