The children thoroughly enjoyed looking at ‘Seasonal Change’. We focused on rainfall and decided to make ‘Rain gauges’. we place two in the Quad area and two in the car park.
The children have had a fantastic time over the last three days monitoring the rainfall. With today’s rainfall, we had to measure the water using two measuring jugs as it was too much to fit into one.
The pupils had a wonderful time exploring electricity. They learned how to make a circuit, lighting a bulb and making a buzzer buzz. “This is the best thing I have ever done!” said one of the children! 
We all enjoyed watching M&M Productions version of Robert Louis Stevensen’s ‘Treasure Island’ this afternoon. The performances were engaging and the production was extremely professional.
We have had a fantastic morning working outdoors. We have been investigating the mini-beasts that live in the school grounds. We started off the morning going on a mini-beast hunt, then we constructed a bar graph to show the different mini-beasts that live in the school grounds.
We then discussed the habitats that different mini-beast live and decided to construct a bug hotel! We thought carefully about the natural materials that we would need to collect, and in groups we constructed our hotels.

We enjoyed visiting St. Edwards Church this afternoon for our Harvest Festival! Each class presented to the congregation some of the activities that they had completed to celebrate harvest!
KS2 choir will resume rehearsals from 3.15pm until 4.15pm, on a Tuesday, after the half-term break. New singers welcome!

The children have voted to run a Christmas café again at the Christmas fete, on Friday 6th December, 2pm. Any cake donations (home-made or otherwise) would be gratefully received. Ho Ho Hope to see you there!
Barcud Coch have been discussing ‘kindness’ in P4C today (Philosophy For Children

Y5 children have had an amazing few sessions with Ben Webb, learning about ‘Playful Play’ and children’s rights.
They now have the skills to lead play within the playground as ‘Play Leaders’ 🙂
