In the Toucans, Momina has worked exceptionally hard to find out about the changes that some of the British Monarchs have made, over time. She has then formed an opinion as to who she felt was most influential. The next day Momina had to reflect on the knowledge she had learnt.

During English, Frances from the Jaguars wrote a poem inspired by the changing seasons and the poems we have read by Grace Nichols this half term.

In Year 6 we have been studying evolution and inheritance. As a result of this, we looked particularly at the work of Dr Jane Goodall and Sir David Attenborough and how their research has impacted science. Hollie from the Toucans then used her knowledge from our learning to produce her final piece of moderated writing for Year 6, all about our planet. She tried her hardest to also use many of the vocabulary challenges posed by Mr Eardley in his weekly assemblies. Well done Hollie!

The Wombats have thoroughly enjoyed exploring some new poetry this term. They were inspired by the poem ‘When The Colours Spoke’ by Grace Nichols, which led them to create beautiful watercolour paintings that reflected the colours and shades presented in the poem. Their inspiration didn’t stop there, the Year 5 children demonstrated their amazing writing skills by creating their own class version of the poem. This hangs proudly on the wall in the Wombats’ class.

In Year 6, we have been studying Light as part of our science curriculum. Jamie from the Toucans has produced an information page all about Isaac Newton and his discoveries with light.

The Wombats are currently creating phone cases as part of our DT project.  We have been learning different stitching techniques to join the fabric together.  These examples are from Victoria and Izzy in the Wombats.
