We have turned the classroom into a science dictionary for our new science topic about materials. 

Magical dream catchers 

Lots and lots of fun doing forest schools today. Willow crowns, dream catchers and scarecrows. Lovely way to end a lovely half term.

We have had a very busy day learning about Stonehenge and how it was built. We built our own versions of it. We wondered if they would last as long as the real Stonehenge!

We have been supporting World Mental Health Day today. Thank you for you donations 

Mrs Shaw has inspired us this week and we read a cautionary tale about the health and safety issues around eating too many custard creams and being trampled by rhino!! She got us some custard creams to help us with our story writing 

This afternoon we have been exploring how life changed from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic by using stone age tools (rocks) to make flour from oats. We decided it was not always easier to be a farmer than a hunter gatherer! 

We have been learning and making numbers to 1,000,000

We all raised our hands and pledged to do what we can to stop bullying!

And the finished settlements. Who wouldn't want to move in!!

We have been building Neolithic settlements based on remains found at Skara Brae 

We began the day very zen with some breathing and meditation techniques. Ready to face the day!
