2018/19
Well done George and Daniel D for winning our two rock, paper, scissors tournaments!
We had lots of fun meeting all of these animals and learning about their skeletal and muscular systems!
We had a great start to Sports Week!
Everyone tried their best at Record Breakers!
Well done Sycamores!
Thank you to Peter and Adam from Maidstone United Academy for coming in and encouraging us to read. We read together and then got to play football!
We had great fun interviewing each other for our newspaper article on Magnet Man!
We began our new Learning Experience - May the Force Be With You! - by finding objects around the school which are magnetic.
What better way is there to learn about Stone Age housing than to make them?
We loved making our Paleolithic caves, Mesolithic teepees and
Neolithic wattle and daub dwellings.
Stone Age Workshop
We had an amazing day learning all about the Stone Age.
We looked at the timeline, clothing, cave painting, food, fire, archery, communication, skins and skulls.
We had a fantastic healthy eating workshop with Warburtons!
We enjoyed some lovely Easter activities!
The children are loving our new classroom layout where they get to choose where they sit!
Red Nose Day
The children used their small budget to create a refugee shelter for a family of 4-6. They needed to decide which rooms were essential and where the family members would sleep.
Sycamores' maths lesson today was to find out how many ways you could share a number equally.
And they got to use skittles!

'Planting a Rainbow'
Look at our amazing hot tasks.
We created prints in the style of Henri Matisse using random, unique shapes and using contrasting colours progressing from lightest to darkest.
Matisse Masters
Our new learning experience is all about Henri Matisse.
We will be looking at his art and creating a print honouring his style.
We will also be learning about his life and writing his biography.
Please take a moment to look at our creative cold tasks.
Oh! The Places You'll Go!
We have spent a week exploring our career aspirations.
We have professional footballers, YouTubers, vets, a car mechanic, games designers, a pilot, teachers, chefs, police officers, an athlete, a horse and dog trainer and even a professional cliff diver!
We are all very excited about the places they will go!
We have had an excellent start to our new Learning Experience 'Rock Stars!'

We all had an amazing day yesterday for our Whole School Harvest Celebration. Look at all of the amazing art we did!
We might not have beaten Silver Birch in our class battle but Sycamore's should be so proud of their hard work on TTrockstars. Congratulations to our top three most valuable players!
We had an amazing time learning all about our classmates' families and their cultures. What a great start to our new learning experience "Around the World in 15 Days".
We've all got full pencil cases again thanks to our Sycamore shop. We used our Greenfield pounds to buy all the things we were missing. Who knew school supplies were so expensive?!
Our persuasive letters were SO amazing, we persuaded Mr Andrew's that we should keep our break and lunch times as they are!
Even more scones! Definitely our best batch so far!
All Sycamore's should be very proud of their first attempts following a scone recipe.
Sycamores had loads of fun trying different scones.
Scrummy Scones Cold Task!
We have had an amazing first week in Sycamore Tree Class! We have voted, been questioned as a dragon, learnt lots of Spanish, acted as a crocodile and welcomed two new friends.
