In this half term, we are starting our next topic which is all about Design technology.

During this topic,  we will be exploring and evaluating a range of existing products, designing functional and appealing products based on given design criteria and then make the product by selecting from a range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks (eg cutting, shaping, joining and finishing).

Throughout the topic, we will look at key questions. What is a structure? Which design in the best? How can we make it stronger? Is it fit for purpose?

Here is a lost of some of the vocabulary that will be taught in the coming weeks.

Over the past few weeks, we have thoroughly enjoyed reading this lovely  story ‘Ollie’s Magic bunny‘.

Each class came up with actions to remember the story in order. Children  drew their own story map, listed the key vocabulary and then finally wrote the story.

We were so proud of all the children for their fabulous efforts. We saw some wonderful writing in Year 1 and 2. Here is a little sample of what the children achieved.

Ask your child to re-tell the story with the actions they learnt in class.

We’ve been raising money to support our new school charity, National Autistic Society.

For 1KN’s Captain Tom 100 Challenge, we were challenging ourselves to complete 100 minutes of skipping throughout the day. Every child contributed to help us reach our target and all the children demonstrated superb resilience.

A massive thank you to everyone that donated money.

On Friday 30th April all the children in school will be completing a challenge to raise money for our school charity. Each class voted for the challenge they wanted to complete. We are hoping that parents will donate £1.00 in order to support us in this challenge

1/2V are going to run 100 laps of the KS1 playground

1KN are going to complete 100 minutes of skipping throughout the day

2C are going to do a 100m obstacle course race

Thank you for your support.

We are looking forward to seeing you all again. Not long to go now.

Thank you to everyone that brought a donation into school today. The total will be announced next week.

To celebrate Children in Need in Years 1 and 2 we kept active all day. We watched the end of Joe Wick’s 24 hour exercise challenge. The children were amazed to hear that he raised over £1,500,000 exercising for 24 hours.
