The Rainbow Fish loved using the chocolate buttons during our science session today. They wanted to find out where it would melt the fastest – in our hands or in our mouths. They had lots of fun finding out (and got very messy and sticky!) that it melts the fastest in a warm environment.
As we begin our Summer Term, Year 3 led the Resurrection Liturgy for the whole school and families today. They did a wonderful job in spreading the Good News, that God loves you and Jesus is always with us. The led us in prayer, meditation and joyful song.
Remember your mission? Create a poster telling people about the wonderful news, and stick it in a window to share with the world.
Year 6 have been putting their faith into action this Lent term, but raising money for our Lenten Fundraiser.
They have donated money for special treats like doughnuts, popcorn and hot chocolate! Year 6 have also been working incredibly hard to complete their Walk for Lent fundraiser, and have surpassed their target. They are currently on lap 78 and they hope to get a few more in, before the end of term.
We have our Year 3 Easter Resurrection Liturgy the first Wednesday back. Here are the three songs you will need to learn off by heart. Sing-a-long to give you more confidence.
FS children had an amazing time at Nottingham Castle in the sunshine. They noticed similarities and differences within our local environments; used a spotter sheets to look for clues within the Art Gallery; noticed floral prints and drew these; tried on a range of hats and finally had a wonderful time playing on the Adventure Playground – bringing our castle topic to life!
What a busy day they had!
The FS children loved exploring the woods today. They used their senses to look and feel the different trees – looking at the different shapes, sizes and patterns on them. They also spotted some first signs of Spring, finding daffodils, ladybirds, bumble bees and butterflies.
Year 5 had a wonderful time with our visitors this week for a Maya Day. We made (and tasted) hot chocolate as the Maya would have made, investigated some artefacts, chose a Maya name and wrote it in Glyphs and rediscovered the ancient sport of Pok- a – Tok!
The EYFS children have completed The Big Lent Walk 2025, walking 24 laps of the playground collectively to raise money for CAFOD. The children loved Big Walk so much, they even wanted to do more! Well done EYFS!
Year 3 really enjoyed a daily dose of Science this week, during British Science Week! As we’re learning about skeletons and muscles, we combined out daily Sponsored Lenten Walk with a warm-up to some investigations.
We wanted to see if taller people have longer bones, so as well as measuring height, we measured leg length, fingertips to wrists and head circumference!
Another investigation, we explored was seeing if regular exercise or activity impacted on muscle strength. You will have to ask our resident scientists if you want to know more about our results!
