Have you started your Readathon journey?

We are very excited to be taking part in Read for Good's Readathon, a wonderful and time-tested way of motivating children to read for pleasure.

 

Pupils choose whatever they like to read - from comics to classics, magazines to blogs - and the money they raise in sponsorship helps to provide books for schools, as well as a regular supply of brand new books and storyteller visits to our local major children's hospital and hospitals all over the UK. Plus, we will receive 20% of the money raised to buy books for our school - it's amazing!

You can sponsor your child online  Click here to donate for the Readathon. 

If you want to find out more about how the money raised helps children in hospital  Click here.  

Your child will also be provided with a sponsorship card if you haven't got access to the internet.

Grand Opening New Hall

Our new hall was officially opened today with an assembly looking at the work of Christoph Niemann. Ask you child about his amazing doodles and check out his work here: http://www.christophniemann.com/

Star Constellation Project

As part of our topic on the Solar System, the children have made a light display to show a chosen star constellation. The children spent time working in groups to choose and research a constellation, learning about its history and position in the sky. The children painted boards and then drew on their constellation. They then drilled holes and threaded LED lights through the holes. These then lit up to show the formation of the star constellation. The children enjoyed finding out facts about the constellations and using the drill carefully to make the holes for the lights. They look great!

On the last week of this half-term, we will provide you with an opportunity to share your models and research with the rest of the class. 

You could make your model 3D or 2D but it should be as accurate as possible.  

Using the learning we have been doing in class and your own independent research, you can create a short presentation to share your favourite facts about the solar system or your favourite planet/s. This could be in the form of a non-chronological report, a song or poem or even a poster! 

We can't wait to see what you create!
