Year 2 had been invited to the Cherwell Centre today and had such an amazing time. They were treated to a hot chocolate and gingerbread man while surrounded by lots of elves (some naughty ones too). Afterwards they met Santa then went on to have a snowball fight with Elsa and Olaf. Finally they met some really cute reindeer’s and then sang Christmas songs with the elves. It’s been such a wonderful day and the Read more
In Year 4 we have been learning about the Rock Cycle. We began our Science lesson today with a Kahoot to go over facts that we had previously learnt about rocks. We then used play dough to explain the process of how the different rocks are formed. We began with igneous rock that is created when magma cools to form rock. We then created sedimentary rock which is made when layers of sediment settle on Read more
This afternoon we have been investigating chemical reactions. We observed the effect of changing the amount of vinegar on the reaction with sodium bicarbonate. We discussed our findings and concluded that the more vinegar there is in the mixture that is added to the sodium bicarbonate, the more it fizzed and had a stronger reaction. We wrote up the results of our experiment using scientific words such as: independent, dependent and control variables.

Over millions of years the bottom layers turn into Read more
The Christmas Fair is looking fantastic! We are ready to welcome parents, families and friends from 3:30pm. Take a look at some of the fantastic stalls we have this year.
This morning, we have had a visit from some oral health nurses. They talked to us about the importance of looking after our teeth and what happens if we forget to brush our teeth. We then took part in lots of activities, we looked at models of good and bad teeth, looked at dentist equipment, practised brushing ‘sugar baddies’ off teeth and sorted foods into good and bad for our teeth. We learnt so much!
In history, we have been learning about and comparing toys of past and present. Today, our classroom was set up to look like a toy museum. We used post-it notes to ask questions about the toys and discussed how we thought they were used. We then spent some time playing with the toys which led us to write more enquiry questions.
This week may be the favourite week yet. We have made sausage rolls using: sausage meat, apple sauce, sage, egg, poppy seeds and pastry. The children had fun squeezing out the sausage meat then stirring in the apple and sage. We shaped the sausagemeat into a log across the pastry then folded one side over the other to create our roll. The children egg washed the pastry and added poppy seeds. The results were amazing!
This week in cookery club we made chicken fajitas. We learnt about food hygiene and the importance of hand washing when working with raw meat. We also learnt knife skills and practised our cutting. The fajitas were delicious!
This week, Snowdrops have read the story of ‘Jesus washes feet’. We talked about how Jesus had performed a caring act to show his friends that he loved them and how this links to our Christian Value of Friendship. As a class, we thought of some ways that we can show our friends that we love them and made a list on the board.
