Imagineering Club

For the last two weeks the

Imagineers have been making a

balloon powered racing car.

The had to think about aero-

dynamics and friction when

testing; with this in mind, the

hall floor was used.

The results were:

1st Rebecca Bembridge

2nd Caitlin Ward

3rd Thomas Palmer.

The children have been practising their song

and signing for the ‘Sign 2 Sing’ sponsored

Zumba event on Friday 5th February. They are

really looking forward to find out how much

they can raise! Sponsor forms are to be re-

turned with any proceeds raised in a named

envelope by Thursday 4th February.

Year 2

This week with the Lego, Kingfisher class have

explored how to build different buildings

within our community. We thought about what

each building would need and how we could

work together with our kits to create bigger

models.

Reception

As we come near the end of our topic Help,

Help! the children in reception invited their

parents in to join in with ‘Muddy Monday’

and ‘Welly Wednesday’. They used natural

materials to create houses and had lots of

fun! It was a great turn out from parents

who we think did most of the building!

Mrs Parker and Miss Majer would like to

say a big thank you to all the children and

staff who have supported the cooking club

throughout the past few terms. We have

had great fun creating a range of differ-

ent recipes and are very proud of all the

children who have taken part. Mrs Parker

and Miss Majer are looking forward to

welcoming the new group of budding chefs

to the club next term.

Year 1

As part of their topic ‘Paws,

Claws and Whiskers’, the

children visited Woburn

Safari Park last Thursday.

This gave them an opportu-

nity to experience first-

hand the animals that they

have been learning about

this term.
