We have been studying The Walrus and The Carpenter by Lewis Carroll. Today we interviewed the three main characters. 

Today we have been investigating the Neolithic village of Skara Brae and built our own versions. We are all wondering what house 7 was used for and why it only locked from the outside ……

Today we took part in an online lesson with the Nekton project where we connected with a team in the Indian Ocean to find out how submarines work. 

We improved our dribbling skills. We talked about using both sides of our feet and keeping the ball close. Then we played triangle tig and worked in groups to defend our friends.

We learnt how to put our violin on our shoulder and how to do a bowing action with our arm.

Year 1 have had an action packed 2 weeks at school!

Reception are settling in wonderfully and making lots of new friends!

Year 3 have been learning about what life was like for a Roman soldier in the north of England. We have learned about the tortoise manoeuvre and some simple Roman commands. 
 

Today year 5 decided that life as a Hunter gatherer in the Mesolithic would have been much harder than as a farmer in the Neolithic…..I put that theory to the test and challenged them to make flour from oats using stone age tools. 

We have started karate again with Natalie. 

We have been creating and telling Stone Age tales today. 

The children completed a safety walk around school looking at any potential hazards, recapping our school rules and looking carefully for all the fire exits incase they hear the fire alarm. The children were very sensible and had excellent suggestions to keep themselves safe at all times.
