Wow, what a hot week we have had ! The UK heatwave certainly made for an unusual week.

The week began by exploring day length and learning about the longest day of the year, which was on Saturday 21st June. We discovered that many people celebrate by visiting the Summer Solstice at Glastonbury Tor and Stonehenge, and we enjoyed finding out about these special traditions.

In Maths, we focused on finding the difference between two numbers, exploring different methods to help us solve the calculations. Before the heatwave really hit, we even managed to squeeze in a little bit of poetry, with the children showing lots of creativity in their writing.

For those who were in school during the hottest days, we found plenty of ways to stay cool! We made our own fans and even enjoyed a little spa experience, filling our trays with water and dipping our feet in to cool down.

By Friday, everyone was back together and ready for more learning. We stepped back in time to learn about Victorian bathing machines and then got creative by learning how to quill, carefully rolling paper to decorate beautiful butterflies.

Despite the soaring temperatures, it has been another fantastic week full of learning, creativity and keeping cool! ☀️🦋💦🌡️
