Funny Bones?

To start their new topic off, Y4/5J have been showing what they already know about the body. I was amazed how many names of bones they knew and also how many knew where the main organs of the body are positioned. However, there were also some very strange bodies which I'm sure Dr Frankenstein would be interested to see! We will look again at the pictures at the end of the topic and compare our knowledge!

Life on Mars


In the hall at lunchtime, we have been talking about the planets in our solar system. One child in Year 2 asked what it would be like to live on Mars. Here is a picture from the surface of Mars. What would it be like to live here?

The rise of the robots

Today Y4C started their new project 'The rise of the robots'. The children began by brainstorming what they already know about robots.

Doubling Numbers in Year 1


Today in year 1 children have been learning how to double numbers up to 13! The children have all come back and worked very hard on their first day after a long holiday!
Ellie explained that if you want to double a number you have to add the same number to it so if you want to double 5 you add 5 to it to make 10.

A great start to the term and the new year. Well done year 1!
