We have had an amazing half term in Sparkle and Shine Class! We have done loads of work on our topic 'The Rainforest'. In Literacy we have written a rain forest story and an explanation text about deforestation. We have learnt about the animals of the rain forest and their habitats. We were actually lucky enough to meet a few of these fantastic creatures in real life!

Have a look at a selection of out photos - I'm sure you will agree how brave we were!!

First Holy Communion

Congratulations to the children in our class who have received their First Holy Communion. You looked very smart and made Mrs Cannon feel very proud. 

MAGNA!

We had an AMAZING day out at MAGNA on our school trip! We learnt a lot about wind, fire, earth and water and particularly enjoyed getting soaking wet in the water pavilion! Our science skills were really put to the test in some problem solving activities too. 

The election!

Today we learnt an awful lot about parliament, democracy and the election. We designed our own manifesto and discussed what consequences our decisions would have. We found it very interesting and had some excellent ideas!

We also took a trip to a polling booth to place our own votes after listening to 5 great leaders! It was a hard choice to make... congratulations to the winner!!!
