Everyone looked amazing today in their Viking or Anglo-Saxon costumes (thank you to parents and carers) and we all had a fantastic time learning all about The Vikings and hearing from Hrothgar. Everyone was involved in the role play and there were lots of laughs along the way. What a wonderful way…

Last Thursday we spent some time thinking about mental health. It is very important that we take care of our minds as well as our bodies. During the day we made some bunting with positive thoughts and ideas. We are going to hang these around the classroom to look at if we are feeling a little bit…

We had a great lesson in PE. All the Eagles looked so smart in their new kits; it was like training an Olympic team!

We created games using key skills that we have learnt and then we had to explain our game to others.

Which game did you like the best and why?

Last Thursday we had a fantastic day when we were visited by a Viking. He told us so much about how the Vikings used to live. We learnt all about their life, weapons, armour and longboats. We were also shown how they used to make fire.

What was your favourite part of the day and what did you…

We have been doing gymnastics and learning how to create counter balance and counter tension with a partner and in a small group. We will be creating longer patterns over the next few weeks.

Which pattern or movement did you find the most difficult and why? What did you learn about your body…

Wow! What a start to the year! Eagles returned to school last week to find the whole area hit by a variety of disasters. We had fires, floods, earthquakes, Titanic and in our classroom a tsunami had turned our whole class upside down.

The children had the opportunity to experience what it might…

Last week we spent our time learning all about light. We thought about how light travels, how we see things, how shadows are formed and how light behaves in different situations. Finally we built a periscope that reflects light and helps us see around corners.

Which part of the week did you…

We really enjoyed having Chris visit us last Friday as part of our Anti-bullying Week. He showed us lots of different judo moves and gave us lots of great advice about how to deal with bullying. We all had to listen really hard because in the afternoon we showed the Year 3 an Year 4 children what…

Last week, we had a great afternoon doing art looking at the style of Wassily Kandinsky. Everyone tried really hard to recreate his circles design using a variety of brightly coloured pastels. Some of our work is on display at the front of school.

Have a look at some more art by Wassily…

Last week, as part of our 'Survival' topic, we spent some time using the internet to find out about Bear Grylls. We will use this information to write our biographies. Perhaps you have done some more research at home. What is the most interesting fact that you found out?

Well done class for creating some fantastic riddles for both our class and Hawk class to solve.
