Week One 1️⃣

We have been so fortunate to have Paul Cookson the poet in school today! He performed in assembly for us and it was fantastic. All the children were so engaged and we had a wonderful time joining in with Paul's poems. In class the children helped Paul to write our own class poem.

British Science Week - this is the start of our science investigations. We are seeing what happens to our sugar paper when we leave them in the light for a week. We are hoping that our shapes have printed onto the paper 🤞

📚 World Book Day 2024 📚

What a wonderful day! The children looked spectular in their costumes!! We spent the morning designing our school reading diary entries and in the afternoon we had all things “Supertato”. The children were able to design their own mask or puppet characters. Some children even made up their own stories to act out on the puppet show stage. We also had some fabulous artwork entries and Rupert was Wren class winner!

Week Four 4️⃣

British Science Week!

Our theme for British science week has been ‘time’. We have done one experiment on sun printing and we are waiting a little longer before we check them. Today we made predictions on how long a water bottle would take to drain out, but all the bottles had different sized holes in. We were surprised at some of the outcomes! Well done Wrens ✨
