This morning we began our new topic for the summer term – Once Upon a Time. We stumbled across a tiny purple door which had appeared over the half term break. We noticed fairy dust had been sprinkled along the carpet. During topic time, we each guessed who could be living behind the door and…
This week in year 4/5 we have been exploring the Mayan number system and we have also experimented with foam and made our own Mayan hieroglyphs. We had to use a pencil to scorn our pattern into the foam, cover the pattern with paint and then print it onto a piece of paper. We all…
Year 6 have been working so hard revising for their SATs last week, we decided to revise grammar in a slightly different way: a treasure hunt around the school grounds! Year 6 have also been doing some ‘maths graffiti’ to help revise for their SATs tests.
