Sports Day

Food Festival

Thank you to everyone who made our food festival a very special day by cooking their favourite dishes and speaking to the class about them. We had a great day and tried lots of different cuisines from around the world.

Pine Forest

I'm sure that you've heard lots about our trip yesterday - here are some pictures!

Wellness Day

Along with swimming on Wednesday, we had Wellness day when we had ice-cream, did yoga and went for a whole school walk.

Playground Visit

At the end of May, our class came first place in the Green Schools competition! This was based on reducing the amount of waste produced by each classroom around the school. We tried our best to cut down on paper towels, reuse photocopies for colouring and drawing, bring food waste home and recycle. Everyone made a great effort and we won a trip to the playground! Well done to the class!

Below are some ideas for active homework. The children can aim to do 2-3 items per evening. Enjoy!

Weight

In maths we are working on weight at the moment. We compared different items around the classroom and tested them out on the balance to see which was heavier and lighter.

To link in with our topic of Food this month, we focused on Cézanne's still life drawings for art. We chose some of our favourite fruits and painting them along with our favourite aspects of the classroom.
