Weekly Update 19.5.23

We have had a very exciting and busy week.
The children have done a lot of DT this week as they have finished their DT projects. All the children created their own lunchbox for Pirate Paddy. We enjoyed testing our lunchboxes on Thursday morning by sending each lunchbox down a line to imitate the passage from one pirate ship to another, threw water at the lunchboxes to imitate waves and threw balls at the lunchboxes to imitate seagulls pecking. Nearly every lunchbox was in tact at the end showing how well the children listened to the design criteria to make the lunchbox strong and waterproof.
On Friday morning the children learnt about herbivores, carnivores and omnivores as part of their science lesson. The children each dissected (fake) poo and had to work out which type of animal the poo belonged to.
As part of our topic work we have started to learn the names of the five oceans of the world. We have been listening to the following song to help with this:

A reminder that Wednesday 24th May is School Photo Day. Please send your child to school in their normal school uniform on this day, instead of in their PE kit.
Enjoy the weekend,
Miss Atkinson
