Tiger class had a wonderful day visiting Chester Zoo linked to our rainforest topic work that we have been studying this term. They were all such a pleasure to take and were a real credit to the school.

Tigers worked well in groups during our gymnastics session last week. They focused on practising different point balances and travelling in different ways. They designed their own routine in their groups and then performed it to the class. We have some fantastic gymnasts in Tiger Class and I can’t wait to see how they will inspire each other over the coming weeks!

This week we have started our new geography topic – ‘Rainforests’. Children used atlases to locate tropical rainforests as well as learning about the equator, the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Well done for helping to raise money for the Midlands Air Ambulance charity by wearing red for the day! We have been discussing what an important service they provide to help save people’s lives.

In our science topic on light, children have been investigating how shadows can change. We looked at what happens to a shadow when the object moves further away from a light source and also how the angle of the light source changes the length of a shadow. 🔦
