@JennyMcLachlan1 We read Land of Roar in the autumn as our first class novel and absolutely loved it! Lots of children have bought and read the sequel as they were so inspired. We’d love to arrange a virtual visit from you if possible?

We really enjoyed our science investigation this afternoon. We used a fair test to determine which materials were absorbent and which were waterproof. Lots of great science vocabulary being used!

Really proud of today's amazing writing! All of Calder tried their absolute best. Here are a few examples...

We also learnt how to create tints by adding colour to white and created some amazing winter backgrounds. We'll be finishing these next week so watch this space!

Some fantastic art in Calder today. We've been learning about shades. Today we added a skyline to our shades painting from a previous lesson to create some amazing Great Fire of London art.

So proud of our fantastic double page spreads on Significant Nurses. Children have pulled together all their knowledge from our history learning, portrait drawing skills from art and understanding of non-fiction features from English. An amazing end to the term!

We've been spending a lot of time getting to know the story of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. Now the children are editing the story map to help them create their own stories. They have some amazing ideas!

We really enjoy our Friday morning visits to our amazing school library!

We've had a fantastic day today! We had our first visit to the new school library and have each chosen a book to take home and read with our families. Please send library books in each Friday as we are already looking forward to next week's visit :-)

Yesterday we voted for our first class novel of the year. We can't wait to read the first chapter of Land of Roar this afternoon! @JennyMcLachlan1
