Class 9 had a great time at Tropical World! 

We learned about lots of different animals and completed some geography field work. We finished off the day at the playground. 

A great day was had by all.

Class 5 learned about how Buddhists meditate. We looked at a Buddhist temple in England and learned about the different things they do at the temple.

We all participated in a short guided meditation, listening to the calming music and voice while smelling the relaxing scent of incense.

Class 13 had a lovely workshop with Dave the Samba man. 

They started by working together, creating a rhythm and then adding words, leading to playing instruments and creating carnival music. 

They all really enjoyed it and performed brilliantly.

This week in science class 12 we have had an oracy focus. 

We have been discussing: are metals a sustainable material? 

And are electric cars good for the environment?

In class 14 we had a great 1 hour sponsored silence where we learned about the ordering of Maths and used the acronym BODMAS to remind us.

During the lesson, no-one spoke. But some found it very difficult and now understand how difficult it can be living with a type of neurodiversity. Well done…

To celebrate Neurodiversity Day, class 11 did some work along side the Pixar film Loop. 

We also enjoyed reading some stories about children with different needs.

As part of science week, year 3 and 4 enjoyed an assembly from Grow to school. 

Grow to school have been working closely with year 3 since September and they were keen to share what they had been doing. 

As part of Science Week, Class 10 were exploring forces. 

We made paper aeroplanes and had a competition to see which flew the furthest - Ayra was our champion!

We have been learning all about surviving in the rainforest in English. 

We have worked in pairs today to create a poster to showcase all of our knowledge.
