Friday 25^th April

This week we used our non-fiction books to research and find out about The Solar System. The children worked in groups to make their own fact files. The children really enjoyed discussing, writing and assembling their facts to produce their group piece.

In History the children have been learning about the Space Race between Russia and The United States of America. We found out about why Laika the dog and Monkey’s Able and Baker are remembered. We look forward to continuing with this work next week. In Music we listened to Gustav Holst The Planets. We also enjoyed listening to songs about the primary and dwarf planets.

Wednesday 23^rd April

What an exciting day we had today!

This week we have begun our new topic ‘Let’s Explore!’ and we have been finding out about the solar system. Today we were lucky to have the Wonder Dome Planatarium experience, visit school (paid for by our fantastic PFTA). The children were able to experience different aspects of space, the planets, the moon landing and Mars, close up. They were fully immersed and mesmerised by what they saw. The children (and adults!) thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope they were able to tell you about it after school tonight.

Tuesday 22nd April

Welcome back to school everyone!

Just to let you know that PE this half term will be on Tuesday’s and Friday’s and the children can come to school in their PE kits on those days.

Spelling books will be sent home today with new spelling lists ready to be tested the following Monday. Everyone has put in an amazing effort in the last half term, well done!
