Look at our amazing costumes! Thank you to everyone who donated or brought in dog food. 

Well done to all the girls who braved the cold on Thursday and represented the school in the tournament. All of the girls did amazingly well by supporting each other and showing fantastic sportsmanship. 
We are very proud of you of you all. 

We have continued being scientists by exploring ‘Materials’ and testing the properties of them. 

We have explored sliders and levers and now we have begun to make our own. We have used our cutting, glueing and hole punching skills to make this. We will be exploring these in preparation for our end product.

We had the electrical buzzers in fencing this week.

We followed instructions to make a raspberry and banana smoothie for Mrs Walsh! She thought it was delicious! 

We have written some safety instructions and we enjoyed sharing them with Reception class today. 

Following our work on the artist Arcimboldo, we used real fruit to make fruit faces. 

We have enjoyed exploring the sense of taste this week. We had to guess the range of fruit and vegetables and whether we liked it or not. It was lovely to see the children trying different foods and some children found out they actually liked it ! 

We have been discussing the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. We have been looking at his work and recreating it. Then we had fun making our own ! 

We have been using paint to make our self portrait. We have been discussing the different hair colour, eye colour and skin colour that people have and that we are all unique. We mixed the paint to achieve the right colours.
