This week in science we have been learning about our bodies. We had a great discussion about how our bodies might work in similar or different ways and how some people might need glasses to help them see or a hearing aid to help them hear. We then traced around Jess and the children worked together to write down the body parts/features that they knew. Over the rest of the term, we will be looking more closely at which body part is associated with which sense and how they help us navigate the world around us.

We have had a wonderful day today settling back into school routines and playing with our friends. We have been doing lots of writing and drawing, ordering numbers, building with the small and large construction and we looked at the story The Colour Monster. The children then started to paint their very own colour monsters and described how their monster might be feeling. 

The day finally arrived (on the last day of term) for the big wedding. The sun was shining and the children looked amazing in their dresses and suits! We had a wonderful afternoon celebrating the wedding of Hattie and Joshua. 
What a fabulous way to end a weird but wonderful year!

The children had a wonderful morning in the sunshine participating in sports day with the rest of KS1. 

We had THE BEST time learning some circus skills on Monday. We practised walking on bucket stilts, juggling, ribbons, hula-hooping and a firm favourite plate spinning! Lots of fun was had by all. 

We had so much fun with OCRA this week, we practised our football and basketball skills with Sue and Dom as well as some dancing outside in the playground with Jas. 

In science we have been learning about animals. We have looked at how animals can be classified and lifecycles as well as doing observations and making predictions. 
The children have been carefully observing the caterpillars to see what changes have happened and predicting what might have happened to the caterpillars over the weekend. 

Take a look at just some of the fabulous work the children have been producing in Science.

We loved taking our learning outside this week to make the most of the beautiful sunshine. The children used water colours to create a landscape scene of Dartmoor. I was so impressed with the care taken to add detail - the children have really developed their skill with using a finer brush.
