Autumn Week 8
A huge congratulations to Danylo for achieving the headteacher's award this week; an award given to celebrate his hard-working attitude.
In science the children started to plan an investigation into heart rate. We achieved this by working in groups and creating their own hypothesis on how exercise impacts our heart rate (investigation to follow on Friday). In maths, we are learning to add and subtract fractions and in English we have been writing a newspaper report. In history we have been looking at the poem Dulce et Decorum est.
Autumn Week 7
Back to school after a lovely half term break. Well done to those who entered the Pumpkin drawing competition. On Tuesday we put our sewing skills to work and made poppies to wear for Remembrance of all soldiers who have died in conflicts since WW1.
We have started fractions in Maths and we're studying the War poem 'Flander's Field' in English.
Well done to James who received the Head Teacher's award for her hard work, fabulous attitude and great sewing skills this week.
Autumn Week 6
What an exciting week! On Wednesday, the children met an Olympic BMX athlete who won bonze in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. He demonstrated a range of tricks including jumping over Mrs Hards! Each year group was given the opportunity to hold his Olympic Medal and ask him questions during our Q+A session. This presentation was all about resilience and the power of believing in your dreams.
In History, we had the opportunity to see and hold an inactive WW1 rifle. The children were taught about the process of manufacturing and why it proved to be so popular; an impressive 17 million Lea-Enfield rifles made during WW1 and II.

In English this week, we have begun our flashback narrative which focuses on a WW1 flashback. The class have been using their knowledge from our history lessons to fuel their creativity with their writing.

Autumn Week 1
A great first week in Falcon Class! A huge congratulations to Christopher for being awarded the headteacher's award for his positive attitude to learning.
This week we have started our Pop Art unit, the class have really enjoyed this and showed great resilience with their painting. We have also been inspired by a fellow student from Kite Class to do our own bouncy egg experiment - we will be looking forward to the results on Monday. In Maths, we have been measuring the circumference of our heads, the length of our hands, feet and height. We will be remeasuring in July 2025 to see how much we have grown.
