We welcomed a real life mountain climber into school today to talk to the children! Hari Magar is an inspirational person who despite the difficulties presented to him has never given up.

We have a lot of exciting things planned for this term! To introduce our history enquiry ( The Trojan War: Fact, Legend or Myth?) we created our own scale versions of the famous wooden horse.

We will be studying the story of the Trojan Horse and examining evidence to come to our own conclusion about whether the story is fact, myth or legend.

We are carrying on reading: The Girl Who Speaks Bear by Sophie Anderson. Things are starting to get interesting. Yanka has woken up with bear legs and the children are coming up with their own predictions on who Yanka's birth parents are!

Yanka wasn't born in the village, but was brought there when she was found by her Mamochka. Now, something has changed and she feels she must journey into the forest to find the answers to her past. 

Term 1

Welcome back! We have a very exciting year ahead of us! Please note that our P.E days are: Monday (Netball) and Wednesday (Cricket). Please remember to bring in your P.E kit (House coloured shirt, shorts and trainers) on these days.

We are doing history this term with our primary focus on the Battle of Britain during World War 2. This investigation allows the children to find evidence to understand the importance of a British victory and how close Nazi Germany was to invading Britain.

For reading, we will be looking at the book: Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll. It tells the story of a brother and sister who are evacuated to Devon during World War 2 and a mysterious note they are determined to solve.
