Today Team Venus investigated that plants disperse their seeds in lots of different ways. They learnt that some seeds are transported by wind, water, animals and some seed pods are designed to explode. Today we made a seed pod and watched how far our seeds dispersed.

Look at our amazing robots made from recycled materials! Team Earth made robots as part of our topic on toys. We enjoyed using the art studio to build shared robots thinking about the size and shape of the boxes and how to join them together. They look like very friendly robots!

Team Saturn had a lot of fun today playing a game to show the meaning of sentences you might hear in a Doctors surgery! The children learnt how to say ‘I don’t feel well’. Primary Languages Network

Team Venus have enjoyed this glorious sunshine and being able to take their learning outside! They have learnt all about what makes us alive, then they went outside to looking for living and non living things around the school grounds. The children recorded their findings.

It was great to see so many members of Team Mercury at SATs breakfast this morning!#happystomachhappybrain

Team Saturn had a wonderful time making bunting today for our VE Day garden party! The children had so much knowledge to share about VE day and many children told us stories of family members who had served in the war or lived at that time. What a brilliant day! 🤩🎉

Team Earth would like to say thank you to Sharston House Nursing Home for welcoming us this morning. We shared our learning about toys in the past & toys we play with today. We talked about the robots we built and the residents loved hearing the story of Major Glad, Major Dizzy.

This week in Team Venus we have been exploring food chains in science. The children used their knowledge of habitats to make food chains. The children learnt that animals are all dependant on each other to survive. We used new scientific vocabulary such as consumer and producer.

Team Mercury really enjoyed using Lego WeDo to work on the ‘Animal Crossing’ project.#LegoMasters

Team Neptune were exploring the importance of the Torah to Jewish people. They created their own questions then researched the answers. Finally, they had a go at writing their name in Hebrew. They discussed why the Torah is sacred and compared it to their own thoughts and beliefs

Alongside Team Mars, Team Earth also had the opportunity to explore the police van and uniforms today. it was lovely to explore jobs in our community. A big thank you to PCSO’s Carlos and Amy for visiting us.

Team Saturn have been working so hard learning their times tables up to 12 X 12 to automaticity! These children should be really proud that on all their recent soundcheck games they have scored 25/25! Well done everyone! 🤩👏🎉

Inspired by Henri Rousseau’s lush jungle scenes, Team Venus explored the idea of layers in art this afternoon. Using our own photographs of green nature, we ripped, arranged and layered the images to create textured vibrant backgrounds for our own masterpieces.

Team Neptune were developing their skills in using clay today in preparation for creating their Ancient Greek inspired pinch pots.

Team Saturn have had a lot of fun today in Spanish playing the ‘¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?’ game! We have learned actions to all the different types of weather and the weather rap was a favourite! #primarylanguages @ network_primary

What a pleasure to attend the Mother Tongue Other Tongue celebration event at the Manchester Poetry Library hosted by poet Malika Booker! The judges choose this entry based on the Ukrainian song, The Swallow, because it shares warm memories of home and family! Manchester Poetry Library

Team Neptune learnt this song in Spanish today. It’s supported their ability to ask someone “where are you from” and also how to reply “I’m from …” some lovely pronunciation of “Vito” with the “b” sound. Well done. 👍

A massive thank you to all our wonderful children, families and staff who donated their time, plants and money to our plant sale in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. We raised over £100 which will help make a difference to people living with cancer. 👏😊🤩 #macmillancancersupport
