Class 3's French afternoon

On Tuesday, Class 3 enjoyed a French afternoon with Mrs Barrs. The children visited 'Mrs Barrs' French shop' where they practiced their French vocabulary, greeting her and asked for the items of food they would like. They also explained what foods they liked and disliked in French! The children really enjoyed trying croissants, pain au chocolat, olives, crisps, carrots and various different fruits, all popular in France.

The children also had a look at some French books. They chose their favourite book and told the group about it and why they had chosen it.


Class 3 Forest School

Forest School letters for Class 3 are being emailed to all parents today. The letter will also appear on the Class 3 web page and the Latest News section of the school website. As the class is split into two groups, A&B,  please try to check your email as emails have been targeted to the specific groups. As we are unable to post lists of children's names on the website, please do not hesitate to contact the school office if you need to confirm whether your child is in Group A or Group B. Thank you.

Death of a dynasty...

Class 2 have been thinking about what could have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, based on what we have learned about dinosaurs' characteristics, behaviours and habitats as well as what we know about animals at risk of extinction now. We all had different theories as to what it was that eventually killed off the dinosaurs and this afternoon, we recreated live 3D interactive scenes to show what their final moments could have looked like! 
Was it a volcano?? 
Did a new ice age finish them off?

Was it an asteroid shower?
Was it an earthquake? 
What do you think???

Shopping in Class 4

Year 4 have spent the morning shopping!! We had to out how much our Roman Food would cost. We had to make a lot of choices about the quality and quantity of the food we were going to buy. Eventually, we have decided if we sell each newspaper for 60p we will be able to  buy all the food we want. The newspapers will be on sale Wednesday and Thursday.
