We have had a great afternoon with Catherine from The Wordsworth Trust, thinking about the whole project of making the film and reflecting on the experience. 

We have entered a competition to visit the Sealife Centre. We investigated the problem of plastic in the oceans and made information posters about it, we collected plastic from the beach and our own homes to make some jelly fish and a turtle. 

We have moved to the hall whilst there is voting taking place in our classroom. We are writing our Alfred the Great and King Canute biographies. 

Today we have been researching Alfred the Great and King Canute ready for our biography topic next week. We also found out about the Vikings. We looked at some new vocabulary then did some map work about their journey. It’s been a busy old, historical day. 

We have had a brilliant morning looking at Anglo Saxon and Viking artefacts and thinking about who used them and why.

Amazing eggs from year 5 

We went on the field to throw and chase chocolate eggs and bunnies. 

A super exciting afternoon with Hannah from the Jetty museum. We watched a steam engine then made our own books to write steam inspired stories. These will go into an exhibition at The Jetty Museum. 
 

Congratulations to year 5 on their karate grading. You all did so well. 

As the living wall begins to take shape outside school, look out for some curious insects which have appeared!!
