We had a great computing lesson on Monday. We got to play some fun games that taught us different aspects of Online Safety! We learnt:
-    that it’s never OK to bully someone online
-    you need a strong password- complex not necessarily long.
-    you should never give people your personal details
-    how to identify fake news or what is real
On Tuesday, our PE was different as we were doing stretches. Some of us found it relaxing, others thought that the stretches were painful!
Some of us went to Spring Grove on Wednesday afternoon. Noah, Stanley, Emma, Gen and Martha all participated in a cross-country race where they had to run a very long way! We are so proud of them all because they all tried their best and represented our school amazingly!
Today we voted for our new school councillors. Some very brave children wrote and presented their speeches and we want to wish everyone good luck!

On Monday, during Cricket club a seagull swooped down and stole our ball we were playing with. Luckily, it dropped it eventually.This Wednesday we completed our Race for Life MUD RUN! It was super fun! Naomi really liked the tarpaulin which we had to crawl underneath. Thomas enjoyed sliding in the muddy puddle at the end! Stanley was proud that he finished first! Josh liked it when we all ran through the tyres. 
All of the students of the Year 5/6 football club had to tidy up all of the equipment afterwards… but they enjoyed doing that! 
This week we have done some more writing in our English lessons. We are rewriting the story of the Iron Man from the perspective of Hogarth and we are really enjoying getting our creative juices flowing.
We are really looking forward to meeting our Year R buddies today and making our rockets tomorrow! We’ve got a big pile of resources in our rooms already!

We started the week with Hello Yellow Day. We all dress in as much Yellow as possible so raise money and spread awareness of Mental Health. 

We started to create Christmas cards. We can’t wait to show our families and we hope that they order some. We’ve been working really hard on them. 

In other news Mrs K has said, ‘Okey-dokey artichokey’ a lot this week!

Lucy Strange came in on Tuesday! She is an author and she was talking to us about how to make our writing sound better by using carefully selected adverbs, verbs, adjectives and nouns. We then used this as inspiration to create our own mood boards.

This week we went to the science museum in London. Here are our favourite parts:
Jesse: I really liked the physics with the tubes and the balls. You could lift up the bowling ball in the tube and when you dropped it the air pressure pushed all of the air into a different tube and launched a tennis ball!
Charlie: I really liked the Tesla coil which created electricity which looked like lightning!
Bronwyn: I really liked the slides! I tested friction. There was a fake grass slide, a plastic slide and a wooden slide. My favourite one was the wooden one as it went the fastest!
Emelia: We got to go to the shop and by some things!
Josh: I liked the wind machine where you could make a paper aeroplane and launch it into the air!
Noah: I liked controlling the wires. If you made them go fast the wires whipped around so fast you could hear it. 
Martha: I really liked the shadow wall. You pressed a button and struck a pose. When you walked away the shadow was still there!
Genevieve: My favourite part was looking around the space area. I really liked looking at the space suits.
Stanley: I really liked the ice-skating practise. You could spin yourself around and if you pulled on the ropes to make you go into the middle you span really fast!  
Annie: I liked the chairs where you sat on them and pulled on a rope to lift yourself high off the ground. I got to the top!
All of the children were so exited about this trip and have not stopped talking about all of the amazing things they saw and did!

This week we have been enjoying our lacrosse lessons and some of our class were lucky to go to see the T20 women’s cricket match between England and India.

At the cricket match, there were activities for us to join in with. We got the chance to throw a ball and whoever bowled/threw it the fastest, won a backpack. The winner was from a different school though, but we all enjoyed having a go! One of the cricketers – Dani Wyatt- waved at us! We also got to go onto the big screen and we all waved like mad. India played really well and won the match! We got some autographs too! Keep an eye out for a big group photo!

Whilst the others were at the cricket match, we did Science. In Science we made mini boats out of Blu Tack and stuck them to the globe. We then spun the globe slowly to see what part of the ship we saw first. We were proving that Earth is spherical because we saw the tops of our boats first and if the Earth was flat, we would have seen the whole boat straight away.

We continued with our guitar lessons and learnt some new songs changing from one fret to another!

Welcome back to school and what a great start it has been
We have started learning Lacrosse and we love it! We were the first class in the whole school to do this sport so we feel very lucky!
On Tuesday, we started our Science topic of Space. We started to learn about the order of the planets, we now know that the sun is a star and that the James Webb telescope uses infrared to see things in space that happened billions of years ago… it’s like time travel!
Some of us are really excited about our homework and can’t wait to get started!
In Geography, we located Wye on a map of the British Isles and learnt a rap about the British Isles and the UK!
We can’t wait for next week!
