This afternoon we all thoroughly enjoyed helping to make fruit juice and smoothies with Mrs Parkinson. We used so many different fruits and the taste was amazing!

What a super afternoon we had discovering about fashion in the 60s. We looked at famous people, musicians and models and saw how the people followed their fashions.

Fashion was also influenced by the space race.

We were practising chest passes today. Everyone had to use force to throw the ball into the net as hard as they could.

In art we were looking at the cross section of a variety of fruit. We researched pictures on the Internet before selecting some and saving the image to our photos. We then had to draw four different fruits before choosing one to shade and colour and one to collage. We will be continuing the collage work over the next few weeks.

Well done to Esha who was player of the week!

Paris Trip 2015  - Final Payment 

Dear Parents,

Well, time flies, and we're now at the stage where the final instalment for the Paris trip is due next month! The final instalment is £150 and the deadline for this is Wednesday 11 February. The total cost of the trip, including the £100 deposit, is £650. If you're in any doubt as to whether you're up to date with the payments please contact the school and we'll advise accordingly.

We're now also at the stage where we require a valid passport and EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) for everyone booked to go on the trip. (Information about passports and the EHIC was uploaded onto an earlier post on the school Paris blog. If you require further information about the EHIC, please click on the link below). Therefore, please can you arrange for these to be handed into the school as soon as possible so that we can photocopy both and update the booking. Passports and EHIC's will be handed back.

Merci beaucoup!

We were looking at charts and diagrams today. We used some skills from last week about note taking and main points to help us.

P5 had to find lots of points to include in their chart by reading through the paragraphs while P4 worked on the construction of the chart and including a few key facts.

Well done to David and Emily who are pupils of the week in P4/5. David's number work has been outstanding and Emily has been consistently hard working.

Everyone has a book token in their plastic packet today. There is also a maths booklet for you to keep at home and to use for reference.
