We also encourage children to play on TT Rockstars as often as possible.

Our PE days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure that children are in their active uniform on these days, with long hair tied back and earings taped or removed. Children may also need a coat for any wet weather.

ROUTINES

Take your reading folder home each evening and return it to school the following day. Reading books are stored in the blue box, you must put it here to earn a raffle ticket. If you need to do a reading quiz, pop your name on the list and inform an adult.

We come into school quietly and calmly and get on with our morning task which is often handwriting or times tables.

Spellings are on a Monday.

Britsh Science Week

To mark British Science Week, Hawthorn have been investigating various scientific ideas around the theme of 'Change and Adaptation'. They started their afternoon with a Live BBC lesson with the astronaut Tim Peake who taught them how to adapt to life in space! Then they discovered the changes in coins over the years and how animals have special features to help them adapt to their environments. They have also planned and carried out an investigation on how different types of sugar can dissolve in water. To end the afternoon, they have taken part in some deep sea yoga!
