Due to a positive COVID-19 test, all children in Reception, Year 3 and Year 4 will have to isolate at home until Wednesday 25th November. A text message and an email has been sent to the relevant parents. Please note, siblings in Years 1, 2, 5 and 6 can attend school as usual tomorrow. More information will follow tomorrow.
The current lockdown means that children are missing out on lots of extra-curricular sports clubs. The Youth Sport Trust are hosting a virtual after school club on their You Tube channel every day at 5pm from Thursday 12th November until Friday 18th December.

This term, we have re-launched our reviewed and updated curriculum to ensure we are offering a broad and balanced curriculum, which includes, engages and inspires all children. The children have been working so well and we decided to showcase the learning in the hall. As we are currently unable to invite parents into school, take a look at the fantastic displays below:
If you go out for a walk or spend some time in your garden, you might find some small creatures. For today’s challenge, be a scientist and investigate what you find.

Equipment: pencil with a rubber end, drawing pin (a longer push drawing pin works best), card, straw, scissors, ruler, felt-tips, sticky tape, compass.
How to: cut out a circle of strong card (around 15cm diameter); draw a vertical and horizontal line on the circle, splitting it into quarters; at the end of each line, mark N, S, E and W; cut a small triangle of card and tape it to the end of the straw; attach the middle of the straw to the rubber end of the pencil using a push drawing pin; push the pencil through the centre of the card circle to form your weather vane; place the vane outside (in the ground/a pot of soil) so that N matches North on a compass.
The children could: could explore how the straw moves to show them the direction the wind is coming from; track this over the day/week to see if there are changes and whether this corresponds to other changes in the weather.
Taking it further: children could use a protractor to mark NW, SW etc. on their vanes and track the direction of the wind more accurately; they could research weather forecasts and find out if the predicted wind direction is correct.

Good morning, everyone! Today looks like it will be hot and sunny so for today’s activity, try to create an outdoor art creation. You may do this in your garden or possibly at your local park if you go out for a walk. Here are some photos to give you some ideas:
