We will be very happy to show you around our wonderful village school.

🍃 Acorn Class
In English, we’ve been using WellComm to explore irregular verbs ✍️📚, learning that we say “ran” instead of “runned” and “ate” instead of “eated”. The children did a fantastic job spotting and using the correct words! 👏

In Science, following on from last week’s lesson about where chocolate comes from 🍫🌱, we explored other plants found in rainforests around the world 🌴🌍 and discovered why some of them can’t grow in Wrightington because of our climate. 🌦️

In Geography, we became rainforest animal experts! 🐒🦜🐍 We researched where different animals live in the rainforest, what they eat, how big they are, and even learned their Latin names! 🔍📖

In Art, we experimented with geometric shapes ✂️🔺🟠 to draw, cut, and create exciting compositions inspired by our artist focus, 🎨 Beatriz Milhazes.

🌳 Oak Class
In English, we continued the collecting phase of our Macbeth unit 👑⚔️, innovating characters such as Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and the witches 🧙‍♀️✨. We also worked collaboratively using the Descriptosaurus 🦖 to create adventurous vocabulary and powerful phrases to describe Dunsinane Castle and the Banquet Hall. 🏰🍽️

In History, we learned all about 👑 Henry VIII and his six wives, discovering why having a male heir was considered so important during Tudor times. 📜

In Computing, we started creating Anansi characters 🕷️🎬 and designing backgrounds ready for our exciting stop-motion animation project next week!

🌲 Forest Friday
This week’s outdoor adventure involved building mini dens 🪵🍂 using natural materials from the Mossy wooded area. Teamwork and creativity were in full flow! 💚

What a brilliant week of learning, creativity, and adventure at Mighty Mossy! ⭐

Acorn Class
This week, Acorns have been diving into their topic on seaside towns, focusing on beautiful St Ives in Geography. The children created vibrant and informative posters full of interesting facts!
In Science, we explored the important topic of water waste. The children carried out a hands-on experiment to compare how much water is wasted when we leave the tap on while washing our hands, versus turning it off. An eye-opening experience for all!
In DT, we put our peeling and chopping skills to the test and assembled our very own healthy fruit salads – delicious and nutritious!
In English, we’ve been researching the country Turkey to help us write a model holiday leaflet. This will prepare us for our independent write on Blackpool next week – we can’t wait to see the finished pieces!

Oak Class
In English, Oak Class have been working hard on their independent writing, adding thoughtful and imaginative words to the wordless story Window by Jeannie Baker. The children have done an incredible job bringing the story to life with their descriptive writing!
In Science, we’ve been learning all about the eye and how light travels. The children were fascinated by using mirrors to observe how their pupils change size! We also investigated how light affects different materials and discussed the dangers of UV rays, learning how to keep themselves safe in the sun.
In Geography, we took our learning outside with a walk around the local area to explore how land use has changed over time – a fantastic way to connect our learning with the real world!

Well done to both classes for a fun-filled week of discovery and creativity!
