Today, year 5 were fortunate enough to take part in BBC's Live Lesson, focussing on a growth mindset, and wellbeing.
We explored our own emotions, and how sometimes they can be difficult to express. Children looked at a variety of techiniques that allow them to understand what they are feeling and how to express this, for example, writing poetry. We also had the opportunity to explore a growth mindset, and how we can try to incorporate this in every day learning (remember, you can't do it yet!) . Finally, we were shown the mindfulness 'hand' breathing technique.
Who knew it was so easy to regulate your breathing through only using your hand?
I can confidently say, that we have been left with some fabulous new ideas of what to do when we're feeling overwhelmed.

On Wednesday we had a very special visitor come to school to help us learn about the ancient Egyptians. We had the chance to mummify a body, play ancient Egyptian board games and compete in chariot racing.

Yesterday, Year 3 were greeted by an Egyptian visitor who told us some fun and interesting things about Ancient Egypt. We had a go at some Egyptian games as well as taking part in a fact hunting quiz! We even got to see the mummification process! If that wasn't enough, at the end of the day we competed in our very own Ravensbury Charriot racing! What a brilliant day!

Year 4 have started learning about the Maya civilisation this half term. This week, we were lucky enough to have a visitor who came to tell us all about this period of time.
He taught us how to count to 10 in the Mayan language and he also taught us about the different ways people could be sacrificed to the gods and goddesses including; decapitation, heart extraction, drowning, being buried alive or being shot by arrows!
We also learned how babies would be trained to be cross eyed by sticking a cacao bean on their noses to make them beautiful!
We especially enjoyed the drama activities, where we dressed up and performed the creation story.

We have had lots of fun exploring nature and creating art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy. We have also worked alongside Mrs Mccaffer to use printing techniques that are inspired by nature -just like Andy. Take a look at our awesome work below.

We have done a lot of fun thing this year but today was a really fabulous day out. We visited Blackpool Zoo as part of our science topic: "Evolution and Adaptation." Daniel said it was, "The best day ever!" We even managed to dodge the rain as we hung out with the monkeys, giraffes and lions and penguins. Have a look at our video to see how much fun we had.

Today we had a wonderful science morning with Mrs Ranyard (Y6) who was very impressed with our scientific knowledge and understanding of how plants grow. We spent some time outside observing lots of the different plants, flowers and trees that grow in our playground. We had lots of fun observing and sketching leaves and flowers as well as naming and measuring the plants we found. WE ARE SUPER SCENTISTS!

Nursery challenges happen each week and children have to complete 3 challenges in different areas oer the week. This week children had a painting, writing and ICT challenge. At the end of the week the children with 3 buttons had a fantastic treat after finishing the challenges. They got to play with some superhero figures borrowed from Mrs Iqbal's house and some chose the unicorn and fairy colouring sheets. I wonder what the challenges will be next week...?
Spinderella's and Tiddler's Dinosaur Eggs have hatched!!!
Date: 16th Jun 2019 @ 8:54pm
Last week we discovered some Dinosaur Eggs in our classroom. We put the eggs in water and waited until they hatched. At first there was a small crack but slowly the crack got bigger until we could see the dinosaurs. Tiddler's dinosaur was green and Spinderella's was orange and yellow. From next week each dinosaur will sit with someone at group time for the day and be responsible for it. How exciting!!

On Friday 14th June we joined in with 'Healthy Lifestyles Day' in Nursery. In the morning we had a Nutritionist called Jack who came from Manchester Fayre and talked about healthy foods and the Eatwell Plate. He then asked Mrs Iqbal to help him make some 'Homous.' We tried it with rice cakes, sugar snap peas and carrots. In the afternoon we had a visit from a dental hygienist who talked about why it is important to clean our teeth every morning and evening. She showed us some photos that had good and bad teeth and shared some great advice; brush your teeth twice a day, go to the dentist for a regular check up and no sugary foods before your tea!

Can you believe we have been back in school a week???????? This year is flying by so quickly. Summer 2 is one of my favourite times of the school year as I get to read all about the fantastic things the children have been learning. The teachers are busy writing the children's end of year reports which will be sent home on Friday 19th July.
The children have had class photographs taken this week. We have also had some new photographs taken for the school website, we will let you know when they are on the website.
Year 4 have been practicing hard for the multiplication tables check which they will take this month.
I can't wait till next week when I can see all the amazing pieces of holiday homework, I wonder what fantastic creations the children will come up with this time!
