In Centaurs, we have really enjoyed being back at school together.  We have had plenty of fun during our Neverland topic with making catapults in science to rescue Peter Pan from Captain Hook; learning coordinates to find treasure in Neverland and creating Pirate workouts.  In addition to this, we celebrated Red Nose Day with creating our own […]

In Genies we have been really enjoying our Neverland Topic. We have been building models of our own version of a Neverland, built catapults in Science and even created our own pirate workouts. Here are a few photos of what we have been up to.

Year 3 thought about what it would be like to be an explorer. We thought about the items we would need, picked up our torches and magnifying glasses and set off to explore Forest School!

Years  1 and 2 enjoyed a  joint Farnborough Firework Display. Year 2 shared the sparklers that we had made, looked at Year 1’s fireworks and found out what happens when mentos are mixed with different fizzy drinks. We finished with a warming drink of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows!
