Messy mummification!
This week Year 4 have been busily mummifying fish. It was a rather smelly, slippery process but we had great fun. We had to wash and dry the fish and then their organs would have been removed. Fortunately, our fish had already been gutted! After that, we covered them with salt to dry the fish out. When the drying process is complete we will uncover the fish for the next part of the process. We’ll report back to you next time…
PE days
Please note that our PE day has changed to Wednesdays. Please could we remind you that all children should be in full St Nicholas, named PE kits, with any jewellery removed (earrings).
Our topics are Dance and Tag Rugby. Dance will be indoors and require shorts, plimsolls and t-shirts. Tag Rugby will be outdoors, so children may wear black jogging bottoms and trainers.
Many thanks

Egypt Day
Year 2 Celebration of Learning
Year 2 shared their learning with their parents. They were able to speak about the knowledge they had gained but also how we had developed many skills across the curriculum.
We ended our celebration with our own rendition of ‘London’s Burning’ which was led by the children and sung as a round.
Well done Year 2!
Term 2 Catch Up
Hello all,
I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas and the end of term is almost upon us. We’ve had a busy time since the last half term beginning with;
Boogie bounce. Which was great fun, and exhausting!
Odd sock day to highlight how great it is to be different during Anti Bullying Week.
A fantastic day of sports at the Marsh Academy.
Estimating in maths.
and finally, learning how to present forward rolls in PE.
Unfortunately we still have quite a few children who either do not have the correct PE kit, or have no PE kit in school at all. It is really important that children are correctly prepared for all lessons.
Thank you
The Year Three Team
Learning how fossils are formed
We used bread and sweets to learn how fossilisation occurs. The children placed the sweets in between the bread and placed a heavy book on top to show how layers of sedimentary rock and minerals form over time. After a few days, we were able to see how the shape of the sweet was indented on the bread.
