Today, year 1 have been busy creating their own version of Steve Antony's 'The Queen's Hat.' They decided to change the title to 'The Teacher's Scarf' and had lots of excellent ideas about what they could include. Many of them used alliteration and onomatopoeia words in their writing too! We are so proud of you Year 1!
Year 5 have been working on multiplication facts this week. They made times tables fortune-tellers at home and used them to practise their knowledge!
Year 4 have been studying William Morris this half term in Design & Technology - here are our very own wallpaper designs in the style of William Morris.

We hope you love them as much as we do!

In KS1 outdoor learning this week the children have been identifying different bird song. We listened to each song and tried to recognise which bird it was. We then hoped we might hear some of these birds outside too - we had to close our eyes and listen very carefully. The children then used what they could find in the forest to make bird song sounds and performed them to each other.
