During Geography today we completed an orienteering activity by using our map skills to locate hidden letters within our outside area.

We would like to say a huge 'Thank you' to all our children and parents of Year 1 for their super chocolate donations today. We really appreciate it! 🍫 🍪

This week in our music lesson we have been learning how to play the glockenspiels. The children experienced playing ‘Jingle Bells’ and getting in to the Christmas spirit. They also discussed and acted out some music actions, such as clapping, twisting, Ninja moves and jumping.

We recently hosted a  Parent-Child Online Safety Workshop for our KS2 families. Parents and children worked together on interactive activities from our online safety challenge, exploring real-life scenarios about staying safe online. After the activities, Patrick Flynn from Online Behaviours delivered an insightful session for parents on the dangers of being online . Key topics included: Artificial Intelligence (AI) – understanding how AI tools can be misused and how to u

To help support children's reading and their recognition of the Common Exception Words (Red Words) we have created a video file that you can watch and read together. We will be using this video in class to further support recognition; the Common Exception Words can also be found in the back of your child's Reading Diary.

During yesterday's History lesson in Year 1 the children enjoyed investigating toys from the past.

In their English lessons, the Year 6 children have been writing persuasive speeches to persuade the Headteacher that Saturday school must not go ahead. They worked in teams to write a speech and presented it to their classmates. They delivered powerful and convincing speeches, which were wonderful to hear. Well done Year 6. Let’s hope our weekends remain untouched!!!

Year 6 took part in a Now Press Play experience all about the Maya civilisation. Through storytelling, they explored Maya culture and achievements, bringing History to life.

As part of a local authority initiative ending on Children in Need day, a group of our Year 6 pupils have worked incredibly hard to produce a wonderful collaborative piece of writing based on a proverb from around the world. The children chose the proverb "A single bracelet does not jingle" and have crafted an excellent written piece around this, which also includes an array of higher-level sentence structures and punctuation. We are extremely proud of the children's efforts.

In Year 1 we have spent the afternoon learning about the history of Children in Need, we then created our own Pudsey Bear ears. Don’t we look fabulous?

The Year 6’s have loved learning about the amazing digestive system and enjoyed (well, most of them!) looking at how food travels through the digestive tract. We hope you enjoy the photos!

3HW had a super Science lesson investigating which surfaces created the most/least friction. We tested 6 different surfaces and recorded our results in a chart. We made predictions and also concluded what we had found out.

We really enjoyed our first ‘Read with parents’ session. It was a lovely opportunity for parents to share a book with their child and to join us in our classroom. If you could not make it this time then please join us in the future. This will be every Tuesday at 2:55pm :)

Reception F have enjoyed learning about Remembrance Day. We have learned why it is important to remember, how we remember and we also enjoyed making poppies. The children were very good at participating in the silence this morning and understood why we did it. Please take a look at our floor book pages to read some of the quotes from the children.

At 11am, Year 1 children took part in a 2 minutes silence to reflect, show respect and honour people who have been involved in war and conflict since WW1 and remember those we have lost. We also watched this short video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/poppies The BBC Children's remembrance film Poppies is a beautiful and evocative animation that sees war as experienced by animals in a WWI battlefield.

To finish off our topic in English about The Rainbow Fish, the children have been using their artistic skills to prepare pieces of art work for our corridor display. Together they have painted the giant octopus and created paper chain tentacles, they have painted a variety of fish, adding their own bit of sparkle and designed other fish out of paper plates. Lots of fun was had by all x
