This week we have started learning our new Talk for Writing text, 'how to trap a rat'. We found clues in the classroom including, cheese, a net, string, a candle and a rat! We thought of how we could use this equipment to catch it!

Today we learnt all about The Great Fire of London, with the team from the Science Museum. The children were enthusiastic and in awe during the workshop, where they explored fire, the great fire of London and the reasons why the fire spread, then eventually stopped.
How the fire started?
What are the 3 things a fire needs to start?
What helped to stop the fire?
Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely break and are now ready for the new term.
Our new topic is The Great Fire of London, which we know the children are going to enjoy. Please see the documents below for more information about what we will be learning. Also, continue to check this page for updates on what we have been doing.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
On Wednesday this week, we went to the church in Watlington. In RE have been learning about Judaism, looking at the features of a synagogue, the symbol that represents Judaism and other elements of being part of the Jewish community.
Ask us about,
- The Torah
- The Tallit
- The Kippah
- The Star of David
At the church we spotted the features of a Christian place of worship, including the alter, the crosses, stained glass windows, pulpit, font and lectern. We then made comparisons between the church and a synagogue.
We also had the pleasure of looking at the beautiful Christmas trees that are part of the Christmas tree festival.
Today we had an fantastic gymnastics session!
Our coach asked us 'What sort of rolls do you know? Not sausage or cheese!'
We knew 'roly poly', 'forwards' and 'backwards'.
During our session we focused on mastering the forwards roll and the log roll.
Ask us about 'the rules of the mats'!
