We recently had a visit from Mr Cooper who told us a little bit about engineering and how buildings are made! We had a go at making some small, solid structures of our own…

Today we started our arts fortnight project and we had a fantastic day in the art studio with Mrs Johnston! We are looking back at memories from our time at ACE primary and studied the work of famous artist Keith Haring for inspiration. Check in again next week for another update!

This week we have been learning about 3d shapes and their properties. We have been investigating nets and making 3D shapes with a variety of different resources.

On Wednesday this week we started a new music unit. We are learning to play ukuleles! We learnt how to hold them and the correct strumming technique. We also learnt the correct tuning for a ukulele: GCEA.

Just remember ‘Good Cows Eat Always’!

On Wednesday we celebrated National Numeracy Day here at ACE with lots of maths-related activities.

We started off the morning with a coordinates task. The children had to draw a coordinate grid with four quadrants and plot the above coordinates to create a picture!

Next we completed some activities all about household budgeting. I was surprised how well the children knew the rough prices of essential household items, although many did not have a clue how much mobile phone contracts cost per month!

Well done to everyone who completed their SATS last week. All the children in 6TC showed a fantastic attitude and gave it 100%. Everyone here at ACE is incredibly proud of them all!

It wouldn’t be a British picnic party without some poor weather! Unfortunately, we had to have our picnic inside the hall today, but we still had lots of fun as we look forward to the special ceremony this weekend.

We had a lovely, relaxed library session this morning. It’s fantastic to have such a comfortable area in school where we can relax and develop our love of reading!
