I'm not sure whether we shared with you that we found a mysterious key in the woods last week whilst we were busy doing our dark dens. Mr Campbell had a vague recollection of a missing key, but couldn't quite remember the details since it was such a long time ago. Mrs Teesdale wondered whether it belonged to the farmer who lived at Copthill Farm back in the1850s. So the children were challenged to do some exploring and delve deep into their imagination to come up with an idea of just where the key fitted and what it opened!
There were some wonderful ideas and Year 4 have written some amazing descriptive pieces all about the key and the lock it must belong to. These ranged from underground tunnels to portals to another world!
In maths we have been tackling division - with PASTA! It is amazing how many groups we could make with a few left over... we recognised that the amount left over was just as important as the amount groups!
In House-keeping club we were busy cleaning and buffing shoes and boots. We had some very pleased teachers and parents with all our efforts!
We have made some wonderful artwork showing postive and negative trees. A lot of careful planning and cutting out was involved. We were thrilled with our results!
Now doesn't that look rather snazzy?!
Have a wonderful weekend everybody!
