We had a fantastic time celebrating Christmas Jumper Day and are thrilled to announce that we raised £270.00 for the Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity. This wonderful charity supports children with cerebral palsy, chromosome abnormalities (such as Downs Syndrome) and rare genetic disorders (including Angelman Syndrome and Rett Syndrome). Thank you to everyone who took part and donated – your generosity will make a real difference!

Year 5 had a fantastic time creating canopic jars as part of their Ancient Egypt topic. These jars were traditionally used to store organs for the afterlife. The children began by shaping their jars with mod-roc, then painted them in authentic colours, and finally added intricate details using pen.

Year 4 had a great time making their own Viking log ships. They designed their own shields, sails and dragon heads/ tails to go onto these. They then tested them in water and made any fixes they needed to, to ensure it didn't sink! 

Year 4 had a fantastic lesson investigating sound and the concept of sound waves. We did numerous investigations to prove this, including using a balloon to feel the vibrations of our voices and tuning forks in bowls of water to see the ripples created by the sound waves. We are now very enthusiastic to continue our science learning all about sound!

On Tuesday 11^th November, Year 4 led the whole school through a Remembrance Assembly to acknowledge all of the people who died at war. They also created some poppy art to show the real significance of the poppy at this time.
