A reminder to all parents, Usborne Books are on display in the shared area all this week and parents can browse before or after appointments with teachers. A great way of getting some presents and stocking fillers for Christmas. Happy multi-tasking!

More produce from our allotment

Children in Gascoigne Class decided to harvest the pumpkins and beetroot from our allotment
yesterday and with the wheatsheaf made by H and G's Grandmother, the produce made a very fine display. It seems along time ago since the children planted the seeds back in early Spring.

Gascoigne Class learning to play the Ukulele

We have learnt three chords now.........

 

 

                                                                              
                                              
                   We listen to each other to check each chord sounds right........

 

.......and that our fingers are in the right places on the correct strings

 

 

We are hoping to play 'Smoke on the Water'

 

.  

 

 

 

 

We have learnt the difference between 'Major' and 'Minor' chords.

 

 

 

Practise makes perfect!

Harvest service at Ledsham Church

 Some photos of our Harvest Festival service in Church today. Thank you to all children who performed and to all mums, dads, grans and granddad for attending.

We are Scientists and Geographers!

 

Children in Wheeler Class have been taking advantage of the superb weather we have been having in September, to make scientific measurements and recordings to study weather patterns as part of their Cornerstones topic 'Splendid Skies'.

 

 

Lotherton scientists have been investigating the properties of different materials to see which makes the best soundproofing barrier for a 'Talking Tin'. You could hear a pin drop as they wrote their conclusions!

And Bobby has been identifying the World's continents.......

Y1 and Y2 Visit to Manor Farm and Ledsham Church on Wednesday 5th October

 

What a wonderful time of year! Looking forward to our Harvest Celebrations this week!
