What a wonderful day... Simon, from Callington Space Centre, brought the Space Dome to the chapel and we all had a visit throughout the day. We were able to sit back, even lie down, and have a 360° view of our planet, solar system, the space station and much, much more. Here's just a few photos of what we saw [...]
A HUGE thank you to everyone for their donations today - we have raised a massive £209.61 to fund new releases for our libraries! It was such an exciting afternoon & the children loved choosing and paying for their new stories. We hope you all enjoy your new books tonight! Finally, the biggest thank you (and well done) needs to [...]
We've had such a fun day today celebrating the Year of the Tiger! Yesterday we decorated our classroom and made lanterns to get ready for the Chinese New Year. Today, we made our own 'firework fruit' and enjoyed eating them at snack time! We listened to the story of The Great Race and learnt about why the years are named [...]

We've started learning the story 'Aliens Love Underpants', we're using actions to help [...]

'Did you know the craters on the moon are from the same thing that ended the dinosaurs? 'What happens to the part of the rocket that drops off when it's launched?' We looked at some different pictures of space and chatted [...]
Thank you Father Christmas for our lovely new fire station and fire truck! Lots of excited faces today :D
This term we've been looking closely at the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo - particularly his self portaits using fruits and vegetables. We've been working on drawing our own self-portaits, using a mirror to help us see our different facial features. Today, we used the portaits we've been working on to create our own 3D art using fruit and vegetables! It was [...]
