Last day of the term, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 14th Feb 2020 @ 11:23am
It may be the last day of the half term but yet again the Elephabts are being excellent learners. They have all done an amazing job using imperative verbs to write instructions on how to make egg and cress sandwiches.
Every child has been in the kitchen to make an egg and cress sandwich with Mrs Woolley.
We have looked at the weather in 5 European cities or towns and have thought about appropriate clothes to wear in the weather conditions today. We have discovered that in Portugal it’s sunny and in other locations it’s snowing or gale force winds.
This afternoon the children are having a party as their compliment treat.
Mrs Woolley and I wish you all a lovely half term

In this week’s English lessons again we carried on with our Aladdin story, writing a description of the cave and the characters.
This week’s weekly spellings this week are ‘early, Earth, eight, enough, exercise, experience, experiment, extreme’
In our grammar we did things that were linked to our English like onomatopoeia, similes and fronted adverbials.
In our maths lessons this week we played a game of battle ships which linked in with our maths topic of co-ordinates. Remember to keep learning your times tables.
In this week’s topic lesson, we got to design our own Roman bath house. If you wanted to you could put a statue of you wanted to.
In French, we learnt about hobbies that we would do every day.
In music we had a show off week were people could bring in an instrument or sing a solo or a duet.

Surviving the Stone Age, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 4th Feb 2020 @ 8:37pm
We have all had an amazing day today. We have attempted to light a cotton wool ball on fire using flint and steel. Some were more successful than others, one thing is for sure the Meerkats have determination, they never gave up and were determined to succeed. Time was up and it got a bit windy but they want me to bring back the equipment so they can have another go. Super proud of the positive attitude.🙂
We became hunter gathers, finding berries and nuts and recording whether they were safe to eat or not.
We built a shelter and made weapons. At the end of the day they had to try and catch a mammoth!
Lots of mud, fresh air and fun, now time for a bath and a good nights sleep.
Thanks for being amazing Meerkats.
Awesome tribe, by Mrs Brown

Our year 6 children have their heads down and are working exceptionally hard. They are also proving to be amazing role models. Thank you.
If you would like to start your own lunch time club please think about what the cub would be, who would attend, where and when it would take place and how would people know to attend. Then come and discuss your plans with Mrs Brown. If you need any help ask Bronnie and Faith or Tilly and Paige regarding the clubs they already successfully run.
