Miss Jackson, Miss McNamara and I would like to say a huge thank you to you all for your generous gifts, cards and kind words this Christmas. Your children are an absolute joy to teach and they have all worked incredibly hard this term- we are extremely proud of them. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, filled with memories and family time. Thank you once again. See you in 2024!

We had a fabulous Christmas party on Thursday!
Pneumatic toys

We completed our DT project this week on pneumatic toys. The children learnt to create their own pneumatic mechanisms, decorate their own toy and evaluate their final product. There was a lot of peer support, creativity, a messy classroom but most of all, a lot of fun! It was lovely to end the term with something creative. We hope they have given you a demonstration at home!
Christmas Jumper Day!

On Thursday, we all enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch as a school, as well as wearing our Christmas jumpers. Thank you for all the donations parents have made to the ‘Save the Children’ charity.
Exploring pneumatics

We also started our DT project this week and this half term we are focusing on mechanisms using pneumatics. This was a fantastic lesson as the children were all fascinated by what is meant by pneumatics. We explored three different types as a class, which then helped them each decide which mechanism they would use to design and create a toy for a year one child for Christmas. The children had some amazing ideas and we are looking forward to creating them next week.
