A better, safer way to report when your child is sick and off school. With a few quick taps or clicks, you can give your child’s school all they need to record absence due to illness.

Double Dockyard Trip!
Both Year 2 and Year 3 classes visited the Historic Dockyard in Chatham. They each had a different focus for their visit...
This week, year 4 have been using spaghetti and marshmallows to create tall and strong structures for science. We have discovered triangle shapes work well. In Design and Technology, we evaluated biscuits, we decided that fruit shorties were not as popular as the choc chip cookies!
Year 3 have been very busy this term already! As part of our DT learning this term, we are investigating how static electricity works. We found out that all objects contain charges (positive and negative) and the charges pass between the objects when they rub together. When charged objects encounter each other they will move. We tested this out completing 4 investigations: balloon and glitter, paper people, static butterflies and the water fountain. We had lots of fun! In Maths this term we have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and their properties. The children had fun exploring 3D shapes and then creating their own nets using polydron and building them using straws. Year 3 have been enjoying time in the library this week choosing new books and recommending books to friends.
Today, Year 2 enjoyed a lovely PSHE lesson all about how much they have grown. They took part in a fun and thoughtful discussion, followed by an activity where they tried to match baby photos to their classmatesthis led to lots of giggles and plenty of "awwws"! Afterwards, the children reflected on what they could do and enjoyed as babies compared to now, highlighting just how much they've grown and changed.
