Ibrahim’s Time to Shine - Ibrahim presented an amazingly animated presentation all about him telling his classmates more about him - what he enjoys and his pet Loki! Well done Ibrahim, great work!

Rosa’s Time to Shine - Rosa presented some medals that she has won at a recent competition. Well done! 

Sienna had her time to shine today and she showed us her new, amazing sticker stamper. We were all amazed at the cool stickers that it had!

Tyler's amazing Time to Shine about his summer holiday cruise around the Mediterranean made us all wish we could jump on board the Ariva! He told us some impressive facts about the cruise liner, the activities you could take part in whilst sailing and showed us photographs of the places he visited, including his favourite location, Barcelona. The highlight of his presentation was when he showed us his very smart outfit for formal dining night along with the treats left for him by room service. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us, Tyler!

This week in Panda's for our 'Time to Shine', Laya shared with our class her passions including dancing and Jiu Jitsu. Laya shared photo's from her competitions and the other children had lot's of questions! Thank you, Laya!

Year 6 have enjoyed a morning of Lego computing. The children warmed up their Lego fingers and built a Lego buggy. Once their buggy was complete, in their pairs they coded the buggy using the Lego software on an iPad. They were able to instruct the buggy to move forwards and backwards. After this they coded their buggies to make sounds, react and respond to colours and also added a light cube and made different patterns. Such an enjoyable session for Year 6.

Hello everyone, 

Happy Friday and Half Term!

It has been a busy and fun half term with lots of activities and events.

Rose's Time to Shine Rose bloomed during her Time to Shine this week when she shared information with the class about her family, where she is from, and the things she enjoys doing outside of school. We found the favourite page of her book, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, highly amusing, and we loved her kickboxing demonstration! Rose was also kind enough to show us her geode and crystal collection. Thank you so much!

Tree-mendous Trees - In preparation for our ECO2 Cop30 Conference in November, we have been learning about trees and forests. Here we are identifying trees in our school grounds. Over the half term holiday, Tigers have been set the challenge of taking a photograph of themselves with their favourite tree ready to share with the class why it is special to them.

In year 6 we have put Beowulf on trial this week after the brutal battles with Grendel and his mother. Is he a hero or a bloodthirsty murderer?

The prosecution and defence put forwarded their cases debating back and forth, with it being very evenly split. Witnesses were called by both the prosecution and defence including King Hrothgar, Handscio's uncle, Grendel's aunt and a disgruntled villager. 

After much deliberation, the judge ruled in favour of the prosecution sending Beowulf to jail.

In English this week, Beowulf stood trail for the murder of Grendel and his mother. The class were divided into the prosecution, the defence and witnesses The children worked together to argue their case and in the end Beowulf was free and hailed a hero.
