Class One celebrated ‘Poetry Day’ by learning about rockets and space. They listened to space poems, played instruments to space themed music and made rockets and astronauts.

Today the weather has been kind and the children in Class 1 and 2 finally had chance to go for a walk and look for signs of Autumn. They all had opportunity to collect different shaped leaves. The children in the nursery collected a large stick which they have enjoyed painting and the children in Reception and Year 1 learnt the names of some our native trees and bushes.

Class 4 travelled back in time to 1940 in the midst of World War 2. The air raid siren went off in the classroom intermittently throughout the day, but all the children were kept safe in our class Anderson shelter. From a maths mission from Winston Churchill, to knitting, to poetry and cookery. A fun day was had by all!

This morning, Class 3 and 4 had a wonderful time learning how to use the library and about the services Grantham Library offers. Those who brought their library card were able to borrow and reserve books. For those without a library card a form has been sent home with your child.
The children enjoyed games to help them understand how to find different types of resources and listened to a range of poetry in preparation for National Poetry Day on Thursday.

Congratulations to all the children who were in the Golden Book today.

Pupils were treated to some football fun today when Mr Johnson ran the coaching session. The school have ordered some size 3 football, suitable for younger members so that everyone can practise their skills.

Despite all the rain, Class One had adventures in their boats, sailing away from the heavy rain to the sunny beach. They cooked sausages on a log fire and kept a look out for snakes by using their telescopes.

The children in class 2 have been learning all about materials in their science lessons. Today they investigated which materials were absorbent and which were not.

Today Key Stage 2 went back in time. They dressed up, handled artefacts and became detectives to find out about the past. Although it rained for the majority of the day, they faced the elements to look at the memorial at the International Bomber Command Centre. They listened to a story about a medal winning dog and paid their respects, delivering a poppy to one of the fallen. In the exhibition centre they used interactive games to learn about the life of different airmen.

Today creativity club was all about poppies.
