Good morning everyone,
We hope you have all had a lovely week this week.
Brandon has been checking on the growth of his plants in the greenhouse of the school eco garden, they seem to be coming on really well – great work Brandon!
In Geography, we have continued our ‘Maps’ topic and have been using an ordnance survey website called: footpathmaps.com to find specific areas, we them familiarised ourselves with google maps, we found out how to find the distance from one point to another and look at the different routes we could take then compared the times these journeys would take. The children loved looking for their houses and places of interest, then using the street view tool to see them from a first person perspective. Logan and Keira were shocked to see that, on the street view, Keira’s house had not yet been built – Google really needs to update the images! Luke and Liam could not believe how different our school looked, they loved the old curved steps and ramp. Alice and Sophie were also very excited to find Sophie’s house, she did explain that the trees at the front are now a lot larger though.
Finally, Arthur and Harry were this week’s quiz hosts. They did an excellent job, Arthur had to explain some Marvel fan facts to me, I was so disappointed at the fact I did not know one of the answers because I love Marvel! Harry also got us thinking with some tricky riddles, it was great fun.
We hope you have a lovely weekend – let’s hope we can enjoy some sunshine soon.
Best wishes,
Mr Prince and Mrs Oliver.
