This week in science we looked at animals and whether they live in hot or cold climates. We also discussed that different species of foxes live in both climates. We looked at why the Arctic fox was white so it can camouflage in the snow to sneak up on its prey or hide from predators. We acted this out and had a lot of fun!
This week we have had such good fun finding new ways to balance.We have used our balancing bikes and found new skills which have helped us move around safely.
We have used all our special equipment that we have in our amazing outdoor area to help us balance on our own.
We also had fun in the Sensory garden doing a sensory circuit. We all took it in turns to balance on our stomach and try and make it to the other side.We then had to stand up without falling and jump off the other end into a hoop.It was lots of fun. We also got the scooters out and enjoyed those too.
We found lots of exciting ways to balance this week and had lots of fun doing it.
Year 4 had and excellent end to their half term today taking part in our Ancient Egyptian Wow day! The children all came dressed up in their finest Egyptian clothing for a fun day of learning about Ancient Egypt.
Children made replicas of Tutunkhamun’s death mask, Egyptian jewellery, learned about the process of mummification, virtually explored Tutunkhamun’s tomb and learned how to scale up ancient illustrations of Egyptian Gods! We had a fantastic time and we are very proud of how hard you have worked this year so far – keep it up!

Year 1 were fantastic scientists this week as they placed animals into different groups including mammals, reptiles, fish and birds. We discovered that humans are mammals too! Keep up the hard work year 1. 
Year 5 have been looking at Greek pottery and the patterns and scenes that were painted on them. Using sketch pencils, they then created their own Greek pottery designs.
Some of our amazing artwork was even displayed in the pod!

Team SEN plan to hold a second hand book sale on Thursday, celebrating World Book Day. Book sale will be held on our Hub playground and continue after school allowing parents to purchase. We are using this as a fundraising event and books will be priced at any 3 for £1. A text will be sent out today notifying parents. We will prepare a timetable for you to visit and purchase. Our wee book shop will be open all day, including lunchtime, so no pressure. Please feel free if any other phases wish to do the same in their own area!
Thank you!
