Diving, Dancing & Discoveries: A Week of Fun & Learning!

Tim Peake Class • December 13, 2024

Another busy, but exciting week in Tim Peake Class! It was ‘Chance to Shine’ week where the children had an opportunity to show how much they had learnt this term. They were extremely respectful to others by working silently, checked through their answers and all tried their very best.

Assessment continued at the Heights too for our (nearly) last lesson where we were swimming lengths/widths. The children have all being working so hard building their swimming skills and I had some super comments from the swim coaches about their progress. I am sure that they will want to continue with lessons in the New Year.


In Science we began our investigation following our learning about human and animal bones and muscles. The children thought of a question to investigate, predicted what may be the result, thought about equipment and what to do to make it a fair test. I am sure they will let you know the results next week!

After a busy week they certainly let their hair down at the school KS2 disco last night! Year 3 were pronounced the best dancers (thank you Mr. Lynas1) and Judah Carman was presented with the ‘Best Limbo Dancer in Year 3’ balloon hat! 


And then this morning they came into school (still with a bit of face paint on!) laden with gifts for the tombola at our Christmas Fayre next Friday. They have certainly been showing our values of Friendship, Wisdom and Endurance this week
