In cooking we have been baking rock cakes,…

And some more of our favourites from the past two weeks.

In Year 3 this week we have been investigating how shadows change as the light source was moved away from the object creating the shadow. Fourteen of us thought that the shadow would get bigger and 9 thought that it would get smaller. Who do you think were right?

Here we are measuring and…

Some of us were lucky enough to be chosen to attend this year's Football Festival at the Cliff.

We had a fantastic day!

In maths this week we were learning all about symmetry and patterns. On Friday we were able to create our own shapes and patterns using paint.

We folded our paper,

We worked in twos and we…
