As part of their Fairtrade Fortnight activities, the Co-op very kindly invited a group of children from school to visit the store. Some of the children from Mrs Roberts’ Sewing Club took part in the visit today where they met different people involved in Fairtrade and learnt about how some of the money raised supports children’s education in Uganda.

Before returning to school, the children went on a treasure hunt around the store in search of specific Fairtrade products and, as always, they were super ambassadors for our school.

A busy week straight after half term!

In maths we have been working with 6-digit numbers.  The children have been doing addition and subtraction with them, rounding them and ordering them.

In History they have explored Viking trade by playing a trade game in class.

In science this week we have revised the water cycle and words evaporation and condensation.

In English the children acted out a courtroom drama based on our novel study text ‘After Tomorrow.’  All of the children had roles as judges or as part of the jury, prosecution and the defence.  Photos of our courtroom drama are below.

As part of their novel study Class 4 are going to be writing and recording news reports about refugee camps in their English lessons next week.  Today they took some photographs and recorded some video clips to use in their reports next week.

Earlier this week, a professional theatre group visited school to perform the Hunchback of Notre Dame for the whole school.  The children really enjoyed the show and immersed themselves fully in “It’s behind you!”, “Oh no he isn’t!” and also a lot of booing and applause!  Well done to all the children for being such a fantastic audience.
