Recently, Shamim told us all about a special family trip to the Lake District and her visit to Beatrix Potter's house. Then this week Evie talked to us about her love for gymnastics. She proudly showed us her medal collection and a trophy she had won. They had both put lots of thought into what they were going to say to the class. Well done! You both spoke clearly and confidently.
Today it was Lana's turn to share her favourite book in Honeybees class. She chose a super book for Valentine's Day called 'Light Up My Heart'.
She explained how the story is all about showing love for others in many different ways. We all agreed with the page which said 'The best gift of all is your kindness. It's free!'
Well done Lana!

Hello everyone,
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week!
On Monday Penguins class had English café thank you to all the parents who manage to come we all enjoyed some lovely and exciting activities as you can see from the photos below.
Year 5 and 6 loved meeting Bernard the robot dog. The children were fascinated by the engineering and programming which had gone into creating the robot at Boston Dynamics. They loved how he was able to do tricks like a normal dog and how his sensors allowed him to stop and change direction when there was an obstruction in his way and prevented him from falling over.
This half term, some children in year 5 and 6 have been working alongside a computer science student from Durham University, gaining hands on experience with coding. They have been learning the basics of programming using Turtle Academy, where they explored the language of script through fun and interactive lessons. This has laid the groundwork for their next steps, where they will soon be progressing to python, deepening their understanding of coding concepts and further developing their programming skills.
Temilade's Time to Shine. The hard work and effort Temilade had put in to preparing for her Time to Shine was clear when she shared with us her fantastic presentation on her home country of Nigeria. We learnt lots of fun facts about Nigeria's location, its physical and human geography, the different cultures you will find there and the languages spoken. Temilade also made our mouths water when she talked to us about the Nigerian foods she likes to eat - we all agreed we would love to try jollof rice! It was great to see photographs of her and her family in traditional dress too. Thank you and well done, Temilade!
It was Martha and Megan's time to shine in Panda's class on Friday 24th January. Martha presented a PowerPoint all about her dance school, the amazing competitions she has taken part in and all of the wonderful medals she has been awarded! Well done Martha, we loved hearing about your hobby! Keep up the great work!
Megan’s time to shine, Megan shared her badges from Beavers where she has been awarded her 2 year anniversary badge, Science, Cycling and an overnight stay badge. Well done Megan. She also showed us her favourite purse with the character Stitch. Thank you so much Megan.
Luke’s time to shine, Luke did a fantastic job telling the Tigers class all about Beavers and Cubs. Well done Luke!
SHINY READING PROJECT - It was Colby’s time to shine in Ladybird class on Friday 31st January. Colby presented ‘Hairy Maclary’ to the class and confidently explained why this was his favourite to read at home. He told us that this book was gifted to him by his childminder who had looked after him since he was a baby. Colby went on to explain that he thoroughly enjoys identifying the house numbers within the illustrations and spotting the rhyming words. Well done Colby, we loved hearing all about your book! We cannot wait to have a copy of it in our classroom library.
