As part of our R.E topic this half term, we have been learning about other countries and how they celebrate Christmas. To help us learn more about this we thought of lots of questions we wanted to ask a class in America and we got to Skype this class to ask our questions.
The best bit was when they sang 'Jingle Bells'!

Working Scientifically, by Mr Jolly
Date: 25th Nov 2016 @ 10:01am
5J have been looking at how the naturalists, in particualr David Atinborough, work. We learnt about what they do and how they go about their work. We then spent the afternoon pretending to be naturalist studying: lions, polar bears, frogs, sharks, gorillas and snakes. Finally 5J presented their work to the rest of a class, just as David Attinborough would in his TV documentaries.
5J Maya Workshop at Touchstones 17/11, by Mr Jolly
Date: 25th Nov 2016 @ 9:43am
5J thoroughly enjoyed the trip. They learnt about the Maya houses for different classes of people and then made replica houses out of Lego. They also learnt about Maya food, smelling different spices from the region. They then explored what Maya Gods looked like, with the follow up activity involving sketching and clay modelling of a face.
Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am
On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.
We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!

Just one lucky 100% attendance child won this draw and an extra special prize! They were able to come with their family and Mr Whelan to Halfords to choose themselves their dream bike! As well as this they chose a helmet, lights, a pump and a lock! What an excellent prize for such a super achievement!!

What a fantastic day we had to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Peter! The children spent some time in their classes learning all about this special Saint whom our school is named after. We were very lucky to have Rev. Stephen come to see us and deliver a special assembly marking the day. We also had lots of fun when magician Paul Storey came to perform for us all. The celebrations were complete when an ice-cream van visited the school, and all of the children were able to choose a yummy treat - the oreos, sherbet and marshmallows were especially popular!!
