Science : which seeds will grow?
Last week, we set up a science experiment to find out how seeds grow in different conditions. We predicted what we thought would happen and then observed over the course of the week.
The seeds that were watered (but not too much) and were in the sunlight grew the best. Most of us predicted this!
WOW writing!
We have enjoyed reading Jasper’s Beanstalk recently. We acted it out and re-read it several times to increase our fluency and expression. We then created our own versions, choosing our own characters and deciding what seed they would find.
Luella wrote a superb version about Una finding a rainbow seed. Wow, what a lovely start to your story!
Gold Star
Well done to our most recent golden star!

Living and Learning : relationships
We have be talking about being aware of how our words and actions make other people feel. This video about Sneetches can spark lots of discussion. We talked about how we feel if other people say things that hurt our feelings and what we could say instead.

Living and Learning-I know the difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them.
What a great thing to discuss and be mindful of! KS1 are very impressive to talk to about their Living and Learning skills. Maybe you could ask them their views on this statement. Here are a few shining stars who can be relied upon to model exemplary behaviour and attitudes towards others.
Year 6 Enterprise
Year 6 would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents and carers, who attended their mini summer fair yesterday. Although the money is still to be counted, the event was a big success with plenty of smiles all round.
Living and Learning – RSE (PANTS)
As part of our school’s RSE (Relationship and Sex Education) curriculum, the Year 1 and 2 children have revisited our learning about the Underwear (PANTS) rule. The NSPCC have developed a friendly dinosaur, Pantosaurus, who talks about PANTS. It is a simple way to teach children about how to stay safe from abuse.
