Free time treats

If we earn enough dojos during the week we get 30 minutes of free time on a Friday afternoon. This week we spent it watching Planet Earth. It was very gripping!

New books

It was a very exciting day today as we received some brand new books for our classroom. We spent the morning reading them, making predictions, explaining why we liked the books and creating sparkly new bookmarks! We love reading!

Kendrew Barracks - School Trip

Not only were we lucky enough to receive a visit from an Olympic Athlete today, we also had our trip to Kendrew Barracks.

We started the trip with lunch in the actually area where all the soldiers send their lunch.



After that, we were shown inside the hangers where they had a model of the area they were visiting in Kenya. The soldier explained that they use this to plan their enemy attacks.



After that the soldiers came to show us their drill and then they taught us how to march. It was quit tricky because we had to remember our lefts and rights.






The final part of the day included trying different equipment. This was the best part of the day - we even got to try different rations!




























Overall, we had an fantastic day and we would like to thank the soldiers of Kendrew Barracks for their amazing kindness and generosity on this day. We can't wait to see them on our Incite Day on 10th December.

Olympic Athlete - Grant Turner

This morning we were so lucky to have received a visit from the Olympic Swimmer, Grant Turner. We had such an amazing time completing the activities which included the spotty dog, press ups, star jumps and leg drives.





















Unfortunately we weren't able to go to the assembly held by Grant but we have heard that his was incredible and we would love to see him again in the future.

Thank you Grant for coming to see us!

Discussions - faiths and religions:
What religions do we know?

Muslim,buddist,Christions,Jewish,Hindu and Sikh

We looked at pictures of different People who follow different religions. We discussed that anyone can be any religions they choose. We didn't know that Orlando Bloom was Buddhist and Natalie Portman was Jewish. We discussed whether skin colour affected which religion we could follow and we realised your religion doesn't depend on your age, race, origin etc. You can follow any religion you choose.
