Our new topic is "A Gift from Winklesea". We listened into our special shell to see what we could hear. Our stories tell you all about what we heard in our special shell. We hope you enjoy them.

Term 3 Topics

In term 3 we will have 2 topics. These are "A Gift from Winklesea" and the Commonwealth Games. Through discussion with your child, if there is anything they would like to learn, leave a comment below and we will try our best to cover it in our plan. As "A Gift from Winklesea" comes from the seaside it would be great if you could bring in some things you have collected at the seaside. Hopefully we will have some lovely weather during the holidays and you might be lucky enough to visit the beach! If you do you may be able to collect some shells. We look forward to our new topics in term 3.

Pyjama Day

The Pupil Council organised a pyjama day to help raise money for the school funds. This money will help keep the cost of school trips as low as possible. Everyone had great fun wearing their jammies including the teachers! Here you can see us all looking cosy in our pyjamas.










The Sea

We made short animations using sea creatures. Here we are hard at work and to see some of the finished pieces just click on the links.

Easter

We have been practicing our cutting and folding skills to make some Easter baskets as little gifts. We designed our own basket before cuttting it out, folding it and putting it together. Here are some pictures of how we got on.
