Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School

The children have continued this week to explore and experiment with switches in Science. The children have made their circuits again and made 3 different types of switches. It has been fantastic to see the children complete this experiment. Our next step will be using our circuit knowledge to create a night light in DT.

We have also started to write our own ending to the Iron Man story. The children have made a fantastic start to writing a setting and introducing their new character.

Next week we have 2 interhouse competition. One is on Wednesday morning and is our cycling. You will need to bring a bike and helmet on the day. On Friday, we have our cross country.  Adults can watch the races from 1pm.

It has been lovely to see everyone and catch up on everything they got up to over Easter.

It has been a busy first week back and we have started a new English unit looking at the book the Iron Man by Ter Hughes. The children are enjoying it and have had a great go at personification and similes.

In maths we have continued with time and moving onto money soon. If you have any opportunity in the coming weeks where you can ask your child to handle money, add/subtract with money that would be great.

We have also finish our Stone Age unit this week ending the week with a fantastic day in the meadow (and missed the rain!)The children built fires, cooked on the fire, soap knapping, weaving, tracking and trapping, shelter building and cave painting. The children so great enthusiasm and can definitely survive in the Stone Age! We are moving on very soon to our next topic Welcome to Yorkshire.

Have a lovely weekend!

In LKS2, we have our Stone Age days coming up! This will be a chance to recap all of the facts and significant events we covered in our Stone Age topic, as well experience a day in the life of a Stone Age person. 

Children will need to wear long trousers as we will be making fires and shoes appropriate for wearing in the meadow. Outdoor PE kit would be best!

It has been a very busy week in Owls!
The children were amazing at the Abbarella performance. We are so proud of them! Thank you adults for all the costumes and all the help at home. 
We also had a visit from the Easter bunny this week. The children enjoyed finding the eggs around the school and saying hello to the Easter bunny.

Unfortunatly, the cross country had to be cancelled today. It has now been rearranged for the summer term. Please see the email from the office for details.

We have been in awe across LKS2 with the incredible projects that the children have brought in this week. We have taken part in quizzes, tasted cake and admired art work. The amount of effort the children have put in and their ability to present the new information to the rest of their classes has been admirable. A big thank you to all of the children as well as parents and guardians for your on going support. 

This morning LKS2 took part in the Be Internet Legends national assembly run by Google.
The focus was on Online Safety and Internet Awareness. 

They took part with great ideas and enthusiasm and we even got a shout out by the hosts for some great answers.
