Mr Poole says “We are all part of one school, our bunting repre-

sents that.”

There is a quote on the wall that says “To celebrate our 350th an-

niversary we created our brilliant birthday bunting. Each piece

of material was donated by a pupil, staff member or friend of

school. They all hold a specific memory for the person who

donated it and when seen together represent the diversity of our

community.”

Remember what Mr

Poole said about

lunch time … keep

the noise down!

One day there was a lady called Mary. She was told by an an-

gel that she was going to have a baby. But Joseph needed to

pay his tax so he put Mary on a donkey and travelled along

the dusty road.

When Mary and Joseph had arrived at Bethlehem there was

no room for them but one innkeeper said, I have a stable you

can sleep in. Mary had her baby, she named it Jesus.

Three kings came to visit Jesus and brought gold,

frankincense, myrrh and some Shepherd's gave

him a lamb.

In the reception class

they have been doing

a topic of time detec-

tives. They have been

finding out about

things that have hap-

pened in the past. The

nosaurs, toys in the

don and many other

When it was Victorian day

we all came in Victorian

costumes, there were lots of

different outfits, from the

Artful Dodger to Queen

Victoria herself! All morn-

ing the year 4, 5, and 6

teachers were really strict.

Even the class rooms

changed! The tables were all

separated and we had black

boards instead of white

boards.

Mr Attenborough brought

in a stick of bamboo to be

his cane. But in worship he

was being silly with it and

he accidently snapped it! It

was so funny. He went out

the room and then brought

in a brand new one! It was

so cool.

As well in the Victorian

topic we had to make 2D

Beam Engines We had to

make it out of materials in

school, in school time. It

was amazing fun!

This topic we are learning

about the environment

and how we can help save

it. We interview Maisie B.

She said that the D.T.

days are brilliant!` We

have so far made ma-

chines they could carry

1kg across 1m. Everyone

managed 500g but only a

few people got the full

1kg! The other D.T. day

we had was making junk

models!

team we are going to find

out how electricity works

and do lots of science

things to! Written

Mrs Hallsworth`s class

have done a class assem-

bly called Keen to be

Green. The reason why it

is called Keen to be Green

is because that’s there

topic.

One of the sketches is called

the eighth day and this is

what happens. God creates

the world day by day and

then the humans start using

up everything such as cut-

ting down trees and other

non-environmentally friend-

ly things.

Another sketch was called

recycle, recycle, recycle and

it was about someone put-

ting a plastic water bottle in

the normal waste bin. But

eventually it got put in the

recycling bin.

They have also been doing

Tag rugby in PE and here are

some photos.
