This morning was a strange one. As well as it being Halloween today the children came to school and noticed lots of fog around the playground. We know that the fog is bad and stops planes being able to fly safely so we had a game of catch the fog. Once we got it all we put it into the bin!

Then we heard a loud bang and noticed that something had landed on the roof. we went up to the balcony to investigate and found what looked like a broken spaceship. Some children thought the engine had stopped working while others believed the spaceship may have crashed into something because of the fog.

We were all quite certain that there must have been some aliens and we thought about where they might be now.

Today we have been using explain everything to film the story of Biscuit Bear. We added the photos from the story and then recorded our voices telling the story!

Here is the film we made together…

We began reading the story Biscuit Bear today and found out more about the Biscuit Bear circus including some of the performers. There were ringmasters, acrobats, strong bears and aeronauts!
Here are some of the children acting out their own Biscuit Bear Circus!

Yesterday in year 2 the children learnt all about how to make a healthy sandwich. They then made their own sandwiches trying to include the right amounts of carbohydrates, protein, fruits and vegetables and fats and oils. They did a fantastic job making their sandwiches and enjoyed eating them at home!

On Friday we held a surprise assembly for Miss Morris to celebrate that OFSTED have graded our school as GOOD.  

Each class or year group made a short video which was shown during the special assembly. These videos have been posted on the individual year group blogs for the whole school community to enjoy.

On Friday the children had a great time at the farm. We found out some great facts about the animals and were able to touch and hold some of them!

The children behaved impeccably and had a fantastic day! Here are some of the photos of us…

Today, we interviewed one of the suspects linked to the crime scene yesterday. Biscuit Bear answered all of our questions and explained that he did not create the mess and it was actually a dog named Bongo. We were unsure if Biscuit Bear was telling the truth because he seemed very nervous and suspicious. He kept changing his story about the terrible mess and could not be very specific.

Biscuit Bear said that the dog came and ate all of his Biscuit Bear buddies that he was trying to make. We thought that he might have been lonely and wanted to bake up some friends. He told us that the dog came and broke up all of his friends and he had to run away to save himself. He also said that he was not a thief and he did not steal the food.

Here are some of the photos of our interview…

Today we found a crime scene in Elm Park Primary School outside Beech class. We looked closely at the evidence but we did not touch it making sure we didn’t destroy the evidence. We had some ideas about who it could be- Mrs Grinling, the seagulls, a baker or even the gingerbread man!

Then we filled out some crime scene reports to help the police with their enquiries.
