It has been wonderful to have the children back in the Science labs. Year 3 girls have been investigating the strength of different magnets and making magnetic games. While Year 4 have been exploring a variety of physical and chemical changes from burning paper to melting ice. Year 5 have been making models of blood and Year 6 have investigated the importance of hand washing, and actually saw the microbial grown on agar plates.

Reception had a busy start to the term learning about ‘Space’!  The children enjoyed sharing stories about space; learning about real-life astronauts including Tim Peake and Neil Armstrong and creating their own rockets and space stations either at school or at home. Reception listened to music from ‘The Planet Suite’ by Gustav Holst and drew or painted their own planets.

Year 5 have been working incredibly hard this term at home and upon their return to school. Both the children and staff were so delighted to be back together in the classroom.

After an unusual start to the Spring Term for Year 1, we have been so proud of the many Skills for Life the children have developed during ‘Lockdown Learning’. The children have demonstrated many examples of independence, resilience, communication, empathy and resilience.

We are so pleased to be hearing the sounds of live music around the Music School once again, and all agree that you can’t beat live music making.
