We enjoyed a fabulous end to a very busy half term. We made chocolate rice crispy cakes and we completed a range of circus activities and games. Our sunflowers have now been sent home and we can’t wait to see how tall they grow!

Forest School
Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.
Ffrydd Wood
This afternoon, Reception and Year One enjoyed a local woodland walk. We discussed the features of the wood, how it felt and what we could hear. We compared it to the rainforest.

Jelly on a Plate
We enjoy watching and singing nursery rhymes. Today, we listened to Jelly on a Plate. We loved how it wobbled, felt and tasted.
Oaker Wood
Year 4 and 5 had a great couple of days at Oaker wood! We enjoyed lots of different activities like rafting, low ropes, monkey climb, zip line, puzzles, toasting marshmallows, playing games around the campfire and eating chicken nuggets and chips!
Y5/6 STEM Day
Year 5 and 6 had a visit from the RAF museum, where they had a go at creating their own rockets. They had to think about their design to see which one would travel the longest distance. We went on to the field to launch the rockets by pumping up pressure into their launching machine. The second activity was following instructions to make a hopper using the lego spike resources. We had a great morning!
Forest School Fires
Today Year 6 had their second Forest School session of the term. They want to have s’mores at some point but we needed to develop our fire building skills first. Two groups showed great team-work, communication skills and perseverance to create flames and sustain them. It was a little windy and we now all smell smokey!
Garddio
In RVE, we have been talking about caring for our world and we have been busy planting sunflower seeds that we will work hard to take care of.
