Smart New Signs!

We are so pleased with our smart new signs and noticeboard which were installed last week. Many thanks to Skinny Design and Ark Sign & Digital.

Sunflowers Class News

Our theme this term is ‘Why can’t we have chocolate for breakfast?’ We would like to say a big thank

you to all parents who attended and enjoyed a ‘continental’ style breakfast with us. The children used

their excellent phonics knowledge to take orders. They learned a new skill, buttering toast and adding

toppings—there were not many takers for Marmite! The children have learned to make bread rolls and

our friends from Kell Bank joined us to help make a healthy flapjack.

We are learning all about number ten in Numberblocks. Emily noticed that ten has five lots of twos, and

Clarence responded with ‘ten has two lots of five’. Excellent work, Sunflowers!

Owls Class News

We are really enjoying the ‘Land Ahoy’ topic. We have created a timeline of famous explorers and

discovered that Marco Polo was one of the first explorers to discover Asia—he walked over land from

Italy. We also found out that Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas by mistake!

In science, we have been testing materials in readiness for making our boats. We had a lot of fun creating

a fair test to see what materials float and sink.

We have also enjoyed a British Values song workshop, where we learnt a new song about different British

Values. After that, we created posters for each of the five values, which will be displayed in school.

Red Kites Class News

It’s hard to believe we haven't been back at school for two full weeks yet! We have had lots of things

going on: two trips to Bewerley Park for the Y5 and Y6 children; a very cold, wet and windy Tag Rugby

competition at Bedale High; a British Values session; and a great morning of drama to introduce our new

topic, 'I am Warrior', which will focus on the Romans. Check out the Latest News section of our school

website to see photos of us doing our best rowdy Romans impersonations!
