Hi Owl Class, I hope you are all well and you managed to have a good Mother's Day yesterday. I've seen some excellent learning on IXL and Purple Mash so far - keep it up! Lots of children are drawing rainbows and putting them in their windows to brighten people's day. This would be a lovely way to show your support for the community. Feel free to comment on here to say hello or post any pictures of what you've been up to :-) Miss Whalley

In school we follow the 100 book challenge which offers lots of exciting books for your children to read.
Here are the titles of the books which make up the challenge. It would be fantastic if all children continue with their daily reading by reading some of these books at home.

This afternoon, we looked at the features of the Titanic. We discussed the building of the Titanic, where we learnt that The Titanic was the largest man made object to enter the sea and 15,000 people worked to build the Titanic!
We then delved deeper into the different types of rooms, looking at the differences between 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. Based on our knowledge of this, we created rooms in a shoe box to demonstrate what it might have looked like.

PSHE- keeping our bodies healthy

We have been learning about having healthy bodies and minds. We had lots of fun measuring our pulse before and after exercise. We also thought about how we felt before and after.

We are really enjoying discovering all about Space.

The young man is a role model for everyone – he works really hard in all lessons and I have been blown away by his excellent writing this week!

Today we read The Darkest Dark by Chris Hadfield. Earlier this week we researched the former astronaut and learnt lots of facts about him so we were really excited to read his story. We then watched the first landing on the moon as this is what inspired Chris to become an astronaut!
