This week, Sid the Cygnet hid! You won't get chosen, Sid - you're not an egg!  (Annual Egg Decorating Comp).

In Art, children in Larwood Class have been making models of Roman monuments, linked to our learning in History. Using lollipop sticks, card, balloons and other household items, we built a scale replica of the Pantheon.

In music, Larwood Class have been creating soundscapes inspired by the Japanese blossom festival. Using instruments in the woodlands, children have experimented with different sounds to represent the gentle fall of blossom in the breeze. 

The children have so much fun with this activity and so do the staff. Such fun for the whole school. 

Our winners revealed below:

We have been reading and retelling the traditional tale of The Three Little Pigs, with super acting and use of the repeated phrases from the original. 

Our focus in PSHE has been risk. We have been considering places in the local area that might present a risk, what the consequences might be, and identifying ways of mitigating those risks.

This week, Sid the Cygnet was benched...

...until his friends arrived - back in the game! (Finally, new tables!)

An excellent World Maths Day celebrated at Earith on Monday. It was lovely to see children in all classes exploring, experimenting with and investigating mathematics.

This week, Sid met Jim gym!  (Field provision open for the Summer!)

During a Future Fens workshop, children focused their planning skills on land use, sustainability and building infrastructure. Working together to discuss their ideas and plans, children had to base their conclusions on real-world data.

What an incredible week British Science Week has been at Earith Primary School! From live experiments in assemblies to investigative lessons, to poster competitions, children have really been hands-on when working scientifically.
