Two weeks in to this half-term and we are enjoying school and loving learning. Everyone is working hard to improve their knowledge and understanding. We are especially pleased how every pupil has returned from the Christmas break with the right attitude to learning. Growth mindsets are in abundance.

Our new term brings with it eager children and many opportunities to learn. These are our new Topics in each class. We wonder what your children have been talking about and sharing with you already?

Class 1 - Soft fur, sharp claws and twitching whiskers. What’s your favourite animal? One that meows? One that barks? Or maybe one that scurries or slithers? From pets at home to animals in the zoo, let’s find out what animals like to eat and where they like to sleep. Do you know how to look after a rabbit? A cat? Or even a snake? Find out how the elephant got his trunk and how the rhinoceros got his leathery skin. Perhaps you know how the dog got his waggy tail? Can you make a food chain to show who eats who? Who is a herbivore and who is a carnivore? When a gaggle of mysterious pets arrive at the local pet shop, it’s up to you to take care of them. Feed them, clean them and discover their daily needs. After all that work, curl up and take a cat nap.

Class 2 - Hop on the bus and take a trip downtown where the lights are bright, and every street has a story to tell. Explore with fresh eyes the art of the city, then capture a moment in time – perhaps a reflection on a building or a shadow passing by. Make a map of your home town and find out how things have changed. Has time changed town life for the better? How could you improve the urban environment? Maybe add more colour? More light? More things to do, or perhaps a plaza with a comfortable bench or two? Or maybe, like Emil, the city astounds you with its sights and sounds and people rushing by. Now light up the city with creations of your own – a statue, a light show, a monument or street art. The possibilities are endless. What will you choose? You’re an urban pioneer, so get ready to go.

Class 3 - Mighty mountains peak above the morning mists, imposing and eternal, rocky outcrops at their feet. Discover how these giants are formed, as a fold or a block, a dome or a plateau. Follow the water cycle’s course from peak to valley and meet the exceptional tribes of the hostile Himalayas. Then plan a mountain expedition from the BMC that is eco friendly and as safe as can be. But look out. What’s that by that tree? Its footprints are huge. Have we found the Yeti?

If you haven't had the opportunity to download the School Jotter App for your phone please take a look. It allows us to send you the vast majority of school related communications direct to your phone. Once downloaded you receive in one handy place. Please search under the Google Play Store for Android or the App Store IOS. Once you have downloaded it - please search for Wetwang School.

We are always on the look out for local people who can help our children with their learning. If you are able to offer any help with the topics mentioned above we'd love to hear from you. Please contact the Office. Thank you.
