The children shared their talents with the whole school, this morning. We had displays of gymnastics, some excellent singing and even had an impersonation of a goat! Well done to all who took part.

Belton House Visit
Today, class 4 spent the day at Belton House. They were able to dress up and find out what life was like for the Brownlow family during Victorian times. Afterwards, we went downstairs where they dressed up as maids and servant boys (unfortunately no photos were allowed downstairs) and learnt what life was like for the servants and how different it was to life upstairs. After lunch, the children completed an i-spy leaflet, looking at the nature around Belton, before ending the day in the playground. They were commended for their excellent behaviour by the volunteers at Belton, resulting in a very proud teacher!
100 miles reached
Today, we have passed the 100 mile mark on our way to running 401 miles. The children are continually improving and some are now running two miles a day!
Class 4 Maths Day
In class 4, we spent the day problem solving. The first activity was using their knowledge of number facts to place numbers in the correct place on a grid. The second activity was using their knowledge of graphs to answer questions and find out the labels missing from the side and base of the graph. We discussed logic problems and completed one has a whole class before the children completed one independently. This afternoon was spent solving clues to find who had committed a crime. The clues involved measuring angles, using a calendar, working out percentages, answering questions on Braille numbers and calculating Roman numerals. The day ended with some times tables races with class 3.
Class 3 Maths Day
Class 3 practised their measuring skills today, finding out how far their paper aeroplanes travelled across the hall. They used metre rules and a trundle wheel. Faith’s aerodynamic design travelled the furthest at 7m 70cm.
As part of our Maths Day activities, we learnt about time zones across the world. Everyone chose a country and at the end of school we set our clocks to the exact time of their chosen destination.
Class 1 Maths Day
Here we are, making number trails, scoring points and hopping along a shape trail, trying not to fall into the water!

Maths Day
Class 1 had a busy maths day. We discussed why we need numbers and set about solving some mathematical problems.
