Acorn Class In acorn class we have been enjoying

designing and setting up our own cof-

fee shop. Please come and visit us for a

babychino! We are really enjoying taking on the role of

baristas and making drinks and snacks for our friends.

We have even been to visit some of our local coffee

shops for inspiration and have been building our own

coffee machines. We have also been enjoying the story

we're going on a bear hunt and have had lots of fun us-

ing our senses to explore the story.

Willow Class This week, Willow

Class have enjoyed

exploring the concept

of revenge linked to

The Winter’s Tale

and thinking of ways

King Leontes wanted

to punish Polixenes.

They also performed

excel-

lently

with the

OAE in

their

musical

concert.

Oak Class

There have been fishy goings on in Oak Class

this week as we get to grips with the story of

The Singing Mermaid. We have been observ-

ing, painting, writing about and then dissect-

ing real fish - we were amazed to see their

tiny teeth and tongues! Then we

had a lovely trip to The Little An-

gel to see a puppet show of the

story. Next week, Sam

Sly's circus is coming to town....!

Ash Class Ash Class have been practising

extremely hard this week for their

assembly. We are performing the

story 'Giraffes Can't Dance', how-

ever have changed it to 'Giraffes

CAN Dance.' Everyone has been

making sure they are more like

Gerald the Giraffe and always

have a go and never

give up if something

seems too tricky.

Cedar Class

Cedar class have been learning to

be super scientists recently with

our trips to the Science Museum

and Hampstead Heath. We are

now budding experts in both soils

AND forces! We've also put on

our poetry hats and written poems

of magical things that may fit in

mysterious boxes.

When we've not

been busy being po-

ets, we have been

museum curators for

our Ancient Greek

pop-up museum!

Chestnut Class Chestnut Class were able to

bring all of their wonderful

learning to life with an amazing

class assembly all about

WW2. The children then

went on to explore the Churchill

War Rooms. They learnt lots

about the Prime Minster and the

location from where he made

some very difficult decisions

during World War Two. In

maths, Chestnut Class have been

learning about square and cube

numbers and they have been

converting between different

units of measure.

They have also

been using this

knowledge to solve

various problems.

Sycamore Class

Last week Sycamore Class had

a thought-provoking trip to St

Paul's where children tried on

Bishops' robes and learnt the dif-

ference between a cross and a cru-

cifix. In English we have written

playscripts around the story of

Persephone while in maths Syca-

more Class has been investigating

division. Meanwhile, as part of

our science topic on

electricity, we have

been building circuits.

We also had an an in-

spirational open after-

noon enjoying the amazing An-

cient Greek projects the children

had created and finding out all

sorts of interesting things about

life in Ancient Greece.

Beech Class

Beech class have en-

joyed continuing to read

Shackleton's Journey &

last week wrote home

letters from the sailors to

their families.

In science,

they've en-

joyed starting their new

topic on Evolution!

Happy Birthday to all those children who have

a birthday in March.
