The community police officer came to visit us this week. She told us all about her job and her uniform. She let us try her handcuffs on but the most exciting part was being able to sit in the police car and test out the sirens and flashing lights.

The Reception children have been reading the story of Supertato. They have counted the evil peas, used their funky fingers to use tweezers to pick up the potatoes, and had lots of fun making their own superheores.

Year 3 were very lucky to go on a school trip on Tuesday. We went to the Deva museum to learn all about the Romans as part of our history topic. Everyone was very excited to be the first class on a trip since lockdown.
We started the day with a tour around the museum by a Centurion. He told us all about the history of the Romans, how they would fight, what they ate, and how they had a bath. We all agreed that the Romans were disgusting.
After lunch, we went on a march around Chester with a Roman solider. We had to carry a shield and chant like a Roman solider. During the walk we visited a real colosseum and learned how the Romans would protect themselves in battle.
We had a great day and there were some very tired children on the way home. Here are some photos from the day.

There was great excitement in Year 1 this afternoon.
We were investigating a big crash that had happened ... we found a broken spaceship on our school field. There was a baby alien inside the spaceship - his name is Baby Zorg. We are taking care of him in Year 1 - until we can send a message to his parents - but first of all we have to learn all about The United Kingdom so we can tell his parents where to find him.

SCIENCE - STATES OF MATTER
This half term, year 4 are learning about states of matter. After discovering what the properties were for each different state, I set year 4 a challenge. I gave them an empty bottle of water, a balloon filled with baking powder, some white vinegar and a funnel. The children poured the correct amount of white vinegar into the bottle and then attached the balloon to the top. After a countdown, the children tipped the contents of the balloon into the vinegar. All of a sudden, the vinegar began to fizz and the balloon began to inflate. The challenge was for the children to tell me what happened using their knowledge of states of matter. Ask your child to see if they can remember what happened and why!

We had a fabulous time spending the day investigating the properties of materials in our latest scoence topic, 'How can you take the salt out of the sea?' The children developed some great investigatory skills as well as improving their vocabulary.
What helps us to stay healthy?

Today we have been learning about staying healthy and the importance of washing our hands.
We have taken part in a 'germ experiment' to understand how germs spread - especially if we do not wash our hands.
Some of the children said:-
* Germs can make you sick.
* Germs can make you ill.
We now understand how easily germs spread and why it is important to wash our hands.

Year 1 have had a great month preparing for Christmas! We have developed our art and design skills by making lots of different things to take home - decorations, cards and calendars. Then we enjoyed a visit for Father Christmas and had a class party!
Every day in December, our cheeky elf Buddy has been in our classroom doing funny things - it has made us smile alot and helped us to write some lovely notes to him!

Year 1 have started to think abouty what artists use sketch books for. We have learned lots of different skills in art this half term: using a variety of media (pens, pencils, paints, pastels) and skills (drawing, painting, colour mixing and printing. We have also looked at the work of the artist Louis Wain and thought about what it would be like if we 'jumped' into a piece of his work - we used the FANTASTICS to talk about what we would be able to see, hear, touch and feel; we then predicted what might happen next.

THe children loved their time on the KABS inflatables this afternoon. They were able to race and support each other through the assault course and they enjoyed every minute!

Christmas Mood Boards
Year 4 are creating electronic Christmas cards. In order to create a Christmas-themed card, year 4 have explored different Christmas themes. After doing this, we created a mood board to help us match colours, find colour schemes and generate ideas for our cards.

ELECTRICITY WORKSHOP
Last week, Year 4 had a visit from a mad Scientist! The mad scientist showed the children anything and everything they would ever need to know about electricity. We explored how strong static electricity can be, investigated conductors and insulators, made circuits, discussed the dangers of electricity and much more!
The children were buzzing with excitement and even managed to teach the scientist a few things about electricity!

Year 2 had great fun today on the inflatable assault course.

The Year 5 children enjoyed investigating materials to see which were good insulators this week. Super science skills were used to design their own investigations to see what materials were best for keeping their hot chocalate warm. They thought about different variables and how to keep their investigations fair. They definitely enjoyed drinking the hot chocolate in the end!

The Vikings!
On Friday, year 4 were lucky enough to have a visit from a real-life VIKING!!!
The children noticed that our classroom was a bit different to usual. It had animal skins hung up, giant horns, banners with Viking runes on and more. Viking Gary had come to speak to the children and show them lots of ancient artefacts from Viking times.
During the afternoon, we had an arts and crafts session where we created clay Viking lamps as well as performing a bit of roleplay as Viking warriors (using swords and shields!!)
The children had a great time and learnt lots!

The Eco Action Team have been very busy over the past few weeks. Along with Mr Brooks, they have built some planters using old pallets and filled them wirth compost and bulbs ready for the Spring. The crocus bulbs were given to school by the Rotary Club as part of their campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
The original planters were very overgrown and were in need to of a tidy up - they have weeded them ready for the Spring.
They have also carried out a litter pick on the field - especially after all the windy weather we have had recently.

This term so far we have been learning about different celebrations: Harvest, Diwali and Ramadan.
The Islamic faith celebrate Ramadan - we watched a video of a a Muslim family and how they fast (don't eat or drink) during daylght hours in the month of Ramadan. We made lanterns to help us to think about how they decorate their homes.
