Some fantastic volunteers from Speke Hall came into visit our Year 6 children today to tell them all about the Tudor period. They brought with them exapmles of Tudor dress and items of food and medicines from these times. As well as this, they had a wealth of information around this historic period. The children clearly enjoyed the stories and gruesome facts; they were engaged and superb role models for our school. They also got to make pomanders; small scented oranges that the Tudors used to keep them safe and mask all the vile smells there would have been at the time.

Ramadan
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims won't eat or drink during the hours of daylight. This is called fasting. Children are not expected to fast until they reach the age of around 13/14. However, one of the children in Year 4 has made the incredibly mature choice to fast this year. We are all very proud of Mikaeel's dedication and I am really pleased with how supportive the class has been with him during this time.
Today, Mikaeel decided to challenge Year 4 to resist temptation just like he must do every day. He placed sweets into small envelopes with everyone's name on them and told everyone that they must try to resist temptation until 7.36PM (the time of sunset today).
Hopefully, everyone is able to resist in support of Mikaeel!

Y3 Science Investigation: Does the length of your arm/leg affect how far you can jump and throw?
Date: 18th Mar 2023 @ 3:05pm
This half term, Year 3 have been learning about why we have a skeleton and the names of the bones in our bodies. We were asked to investigate the following questions:
*Do people with longer legs jump further?
*Can people with longer arms throw further?
We worked in small groups to plan and carry out our investigation. Next week we will be using a spreadsheet on Purple Mash to create a graph of our results and then writing our conclusion in an email to Mr. Leather (our PE Leader).

This week was the first of our spring Forest School sessions. Mr Brooks pointed out the different signs of spring and encouraged the children to look for some too.
The nursery children then went on to make a wooden gingerbread man and the reception children went on a scavenger hunt. They had to remember and collect the same objects which Mr Brooks had shown to them earlier.

We have had lots of fun over the last two weeks with our story The Gingerbread Man.
