Well done to Year 5, who yet again have 100% attendance! I think Year 5 have won most of the termly prizes for attendance throughout the year so far and even in remote learning! It would be great if the other classes could try to get the same attendance as Year 5 as our attendance isn't as strong as in our first week back across the schools.

Did you know that this week 373 books have been read?? FANTASTIC!

A huge shout out to Captain Sir Tom Moore class with 96% accessing MyON.

Congratulations to Amber M for reading 14 books this week!

As a school, can we read or listen to 400 books next week?

How many pages can your class read in a week?

Will you be the MyON reader of the week in your class next week?

This week the children have all explored inquiries linked to science and have been tasked with many fun and collaborative investigations, including building a raft and exploring how many counters it would take to sink it, designing a lab coat, researching and creating a paper bridge and investigating whether it would still stand once weight was added to it and also thinking about innovating ideas for science in the future. All of the children have had a fab week and it has been great to see so many of them looking like scientists with their lab coats and working together in teams or pairs whilst exploring their inquiries.

Beatrix Potter Class being risk-takers when exploring whether their rafts would sink or float on the water.

Helen Sharman class have enjoyed being inventors this week. We have made rafts and bridges and then tested them to see if they work when weights have been added.

Dame Kelly Holmes class have been planning and designing a raft in Year 3. They planned a fair test to see which raft would hold the most weight. Communication and Open-Mindedness took place as the children listened to each others' ideas. After testing raft one they reflected on their design and built raft two. Had they taken a risk to change elements of the new design? Of course, raft two was much more successful.

Captain Sir Tom Moore class being knowledgeable and open-minded when explaining what they thought would happen to their rafts and predicting how many counters it might take until the rafts sink.
