Friday 13 May 2022 Sign Language Club This week in BSL club and in Happy Hyenas we have continued learning British Sign Language. We loved British Sign Language Week so much that Mrs Wensley taught us some signs to help us to talk about our feelings. Cbeebies also marked British Sign Language Week with a Bedtime Story from actor Rose Ayling-Ellis. We were all fascinated to listen to Little Bear's story about the struggles of a deaf little bear growing up in a hearing household. We talked about how we could help Little Bear by making sure that our mouth can be seen when we are talking and we are speaking clearly. You can find out about Little Bear's Story by clicking the link below to listen to the story at home. Can bears ski That is the question!

The tallest one was so tall they had to stand on a chair to complete it. Amazing work Tigers!

Friday 29 April 2022 Goalball On Tuesday Brandonlee, Kieran and Ethan all took part in a Goalball competition. Unfortunately, the trio were not victorious. However, they did very well considering it was the first time any of them had played Goalball! Goalball is a very tricky sport played in the Paralympics for the visually impaired. This meant the children had to wear a blindfold for the duration of the competition and would need to listen out for the ball (which had a bell in it). This made for some very exciting and funny moments. All the boys had a lot of fun and did the school proud. Well done boys!

Friday 22 April 2022 WOW Day In Year Four Year Four kicked off their learning for the summer term through a series of activities linked to the topics they will be studying in science, reading and Latin. For reading, they began to explore the wide variety of beetles that can be found across the world, where they began to discuss the similarities, differences and beautiful patterns that many beetles have. They were then able to use natural resources (such as leaves, twigs, etc) to create a model of their favourite beetle, before adding colour and detail to resemble that of their chosen beetle. We cannot wait to get stuck into 'The Beetle Collectors Handbook' and continue reading our class novel, 'Beetle Boy', both of which have been written by M.G. Leonard. In science, we will be studying ecology and classification, so the children had a go at creating their own mini terrariums suitable for small bugs, insects and spiders. Following this, we embarked on a mini beast hunt to collect residents for our terrariums, which we will for
