In computing you have sorted and searched multiple fields and in PSHE you have considered how the media impacts body image.

You have identified, compared and ordered angles in maths and in English you have recapped direct and reported speech while continuing your Nowhere Emporium chapters. In science, you finished learning about forces by studying air resistance with spinners and learning about the importance of levers, pulleys and gears.

 Today was our final day at Lincolnsfields and we didn't slow down! After a much better night's sleep, we began the day with a breakfast of cereal, toast and scrambled egg. We then played some games in the indoor classroom before beginning our morning of activities. We split in to our 2 groups and took turns playing UniHoc and roller skating (it was lovely to see so many of you show resilience and improve so much in one session). We then ate lunch, played a few more games and returned to school.  I imagine you will be having a restful weekend and look forward to seeing you next week where we will be completing a range of learning including continuing your chapters based on 'The Nowhere Emporium'.  Have a lovely weekend. Mrs Cresswell

 Day 2! After a reasonable night’s sleep, we rose ready for a breakfast of cereal and beans on toast. We then split into 2 groups and began the Children at War experience, which was a brilliant experience. We learnt about the life of people in the war and items they would have in their houses. We discovered the ways people grew their own food in their victory gardens, how they had Anderson shelters in the gardens, and how the children would be taught at school, and taught how to work with their street to put out house fires.   We also had a war veteran teach us about life in the war, the blitz, talk us through museum objects and show us how heavy the weapons (a perfectly safe replica) and sacks were that the military would have used.  After lunch, we went to the woods to compete in groups to find and name flags of the world (we all did very well!). We also had the chance to enjoy some parachute games. After dinner, we were surprised with the chance to ride in a military j...

   Lincolnsfields Day 1! It has been a brilliant, busy beginning to our trip. Our journey on the coach was one of the most musical I have experienced; with various renditions of 'If your happy and you know it', 'Barbie Girl', and both German and English versions of Silent Night. We arrived, had a briefing and then went straight into our first activity. We were in 3 groups and had to find our way around the site using a map and numbers. We had to solve 10 riddles, a few of which had the children (and adults) stumped. We enjoyed our lunches and then headed to the woods where we played ‘floor is lava’ and ‘the wind game’ amongst the bluebells; working on our teamwork. When it began to rain, we spent some time in the soft play. We returned to our dorms to make our beds – some were quicker than others (it took some an hour but they got there). Then it was time for dinner – the pudding of chocolate brownie and custard was definitely the winner. After pausing for 30 minu...
