Children in Year 2 recreated the story as a dance !

Today our class had a workshop to use our drama skills to bring the story to life. We read Iron Man last term as part of our Pathways and the children really enjoyed learning these new skills.

Today we had a surprise visit from Mrs Pearce who announced that in our whole school TTRockstars we have won a number of certificates.
Jeremiah has won 3rd place this week for improvement in accuracy, Annisha was 3rd in the biggest increase in correct answers with Ismail coming in 2nd place for biggest increase in correct answers.

Finally Layla was awarded a certificate for being the fastest rockstar in the school.

A huge congratulations goes out to all of the children, well done.

This morning, ahead of parent’s meetings next week, parents were invited into school to look at their child’s books. It was lovely to see so many come in to share the progress in all areas of the curriculum.

Year 5 were given a homework task over 1/2 term to create a biome. Dylan and Esmé made Tundra biomes, whilst Reggie made a tropical rainforest, complete with a knitted sloth and snake. Both Ethan and Kyran used live plants to create theirs. They all look amazing and really extended their Geographical understanding.

On Thursday afternoon a group of 12 children from year 3 and 4 went to Eaton Bank for an athletics competition against other Congleton schools. They all really enjoyed themselves, the girls managed to come second and the boys came fourth.

In PE today we learnt some skills for tag rugby. Firstly we passed a ball round a circle shouting a name just before we threw the ball. Then we passed a rugby ball across a circle, counting down from 10, whoever got the ball last lost a point.

Year 6 had a brilliant morning finishing their Gymnastics unit. They put together a variety of sequences using the knowledge and skills they have gained over the past 6 weeks (and really enjoyed trying to get some action shots)!

Last night the Year 5 and 6 boys battled it out against other Congleton schools. The first match was St Mary’s Vs Marlfields. It was a strong start with a score scored from Marfields but from nowhere two goals were scored against us. The next match was against Buglawton and with our team working together and scoring some excellent goals we won 2:0. Our final match was against Quinta and although the boys worked extremely hard Quinta won 3:1. Well done boys you did us all proud!

Today Year 1 made their own cucumber and mint raita dip! They used their cutting skills to cut the vegetables and evaluated their dips at the end.

This week the children conducted an experiment looking at which material was the most absorbent. The children decided that fabric is the best material to soak up any spillages!

This week Year 2 pupils used their historical research about the history of transport to create short movies!

This half term the children in Early Years have been using Dinosaurs as a theme for their learning.

The children started their topic by discovering a dinosaur egg in our sand pit. The children worked together to make nests for the dinosaur egg.

The children have learnt about the different types of dinosaurs and what environments they liked to live in. The children created representations of different dinosaurs using their colour mixing skills to create the colours they wanted.

The children have finished the topic with a Dinosaur Hunt in our school woods. The Dinosaurs were hiding in a variety of different places; behind the tree, under the bench, next to the tree, in the flowers, in the tree.

The children have really enjoyed the learning through Dinosaurs!

This afternoon, Year 6 were finishing their coding unit and used Python to create some incredible pieces of work! We looked at various pieces of Islamic art and identified the features that we could recreate on the laptops using Python coding.
Brilliant work Year 6!
