Introducing Mr Phileas Fogg
This week we have read the blurb for our new English text. We have made inferences to predict what may happen in the story.
So far we can infer that he is precise because he does the same thing every day and he is a wealthy man because he lives on Saville Row.
We would like to know why such…
Cauliflower cards
Even though we have 7 weeks of school before the Christmas break, today we completed our PTFA Cauliflower cards. This will give plenty of time for parents to order any items they want to with our design on. This year, we used watercolours to create a night sky behind a silhouette of the manager…
Canalside Trip - Field to fork!
Today we visited Canalside farm to start our Geography topic. We had a fantastic day!
We started by looking at where the strawberries are usually grown and talking about how during the winter months we can only enjoy strawberries if we import them, due to our climate here in the UK. We…
Egyptian Day
We had an Ancient Egyptian day to finish our topic. We made our own Egyptian bracelets with different coloured beads, then had a Maths competition to see who could build the best pyramid from different materials. They were tested on strength, design and height. We played team PE games such as ‘The…
Poppy art
Today we talked about the meaning behind the different colours of poppies worn during November. We created our own poppy pictures to display at church during our remembrance service after half term.
Imagery in Poetry

Poster competition
This afternoon we all designed a poster for the Colwich Parish Council Christmas lights switch on next month.
Online safety
We have started our computing sessions by learning about online safety. We began by watching a video about the ‘spaghetti tree’ in Switzerland that had a bumper crop! We were intrigued to learn more about this but then discovered it was a prank! It highlighted how easy it is to spread fake news…
Mummified tomatoes!
In our History lesson, we learnt more about the Ancient Egyptian mummification process. We used a tomato to represent the human body and scooped out the seeds (which represented internal organs), before covering the inside of the tomato in salt to preserve it, just like the Egyptians did to…
Preparing for Harvest
This morning we learnt a Harvest poem and creating art work to share at the Harvest service as we read the poem next week in church.
Reading the paper
We have enjoyed reading newspapers today! Not just to keep up to date with the latest world news, but to see how the layout is different to a fiction book. Next week we will study this further, before becoming reporters ourselves and writing a newspaper article from the 1922 discovery of…
