Christmas Crafts 🎄 🎅🏼
Year 2 have enjoyed a fun filled festive afternoon making lots of Christmas crafts with the help of their grown ups. A huge thank you to everyone for joining us and making the day special. 🎅🏼
Under the Ice
Year 5 had a wonderful afternoon at Northumbria University. We learned about how scientists use ice cores from the Antarctic to find out about the past. We listened to a poem by Katrina Porteous and then used what we had learned to write our own sense poem.
Designing Bridges
In Year 5, we have been learning about bridges in our design technology unit. We have looked at different types of bridges and explored ways bridges can be strengthened. We then used our knowledge to design and make our own bridges.
