We had a fantastic lesson in Science where Y5/6 Falcons became the teacher and shared their knowledge on circuits and electricity with Y1 Nightingales. They shared their understanding of the different components, what makes a complete circuit and how to make a light bulb light up. Nightingales were fantastic and could share lots and create accurate circuits by the end of the lesson. Falcons also enjoyed hearing about Nightingales Science on animal classification. As Falcons covered this earlier in the year, it was great to hear the discussions between the children.

Some members of our Reception Robins brought in some chirpy visitors this week. 🥚 🐣 🐥 Robins loved learning about them and getting the chance to hold them. Year 1 Nightingales also came to see them applying their animals' learning, thinking about which animal classification group they belong to and how they might know. 🐥 🦎🐸🐕🐠

We hosted the amazing Pirates of the Carabina today for a superb Pirate Taxi show full of wow moments. 

This afternoon for our daily prayer, Year 5 and 6 selected from a range of suggestions. These were praying whilst: making a daisy chain (a daisy for each thought), sitting peacefully somewhere, lying down, being together and being alone. The children have found great benefit starting the afternoon in this calm and reflective way 🙏

Falcons created their scaled maps of the Maya civilisation to understand why there were particular regions, the importance of trade and why some factions of the Maya were so different.
