• Year 4 - Nature Reserve and Nets

  Fri 25 Sep 2026

  This week, Year 4 enjoyed creating collages from natural materials in the nature reserve. In DT, we explored different nets for our torch project, while in Computing, we used Purple Mash to begin our Coding topic. In Maths, we continued learning about place value, and in History, we carried on our study of the Anglo-Saxons. We have now completed our daily handwriting block and will continue to practise handwriting twice a week.

  

• Year 3- Fossils, forest fun and focussed thinking.

  Fri 25 Sep 2026

  This week, we continued our science topic on ‘Rocks and Soils’ by investigating fossils. First, we spent time handling and looking at a range of real fossils in the classroom. Next we learnt about the process through which fossils are formed (fossilisation) and annotated some diagrams to help us remember the sequence in our science books. Towards the end of the week, we enjoyed taking part in a scavenger hunt in the nature reserve, and finally the NHS ‘Mental Health in Schools’ team visited our classrooms to explore some strategies for dealing with worries.

  

• Year 6 - Amazing Art!

  Mon 21 Sep 2026

  Year 6 have been busy creating incredible artist studies on Kandinsky. Well done, Year 6! They look fabulous. You worked so hard to create a beautiful piece that represents the great artist. 

  

• Reception - Me on the Outside

  Fri 18 Sep 2026

  This week we have been exploring what makes each of us unique and special. We have focused on the wonderful things we can see about ourselves on the outside and celebrated the similarities and differences that make us who we are.

   

  The children have thoroughly enjoyed reading Incredible You!, Super Duper You! and Ruby’s Worry. In circle time, children shared ideas about what makes them special and listened carefully as their classmates talked about themselves.

   

  It was Reception’s first trip to the Nature Reserve this week. We enjoyed a welly walk in search of signs of autumn and spent time exploring, discovering the beautiful outdoor environment together.

  

• year 3- rock experiments

  Fri 18 Sep 2026

  This week, we started to use ‘Times Tables Rockstars’ in our ICT lesson. Your child will have brought home a login so that they can play for 20 minutes as part of their homework. In our science lesson, we continued with our topic on rocks and soils. We carried out an experiment where we tested the features of different rocks to see how durable and dense they were in addition to if they were permeable or not.

  

• Year 1 Beebots

  Fri 18 Sep 2026

  We have been having lots of fun learning how to programme our Beebots. We learnt how to make them move forwards and backwards, turn around corners and, most importantly, clear their memory before giving them a new set of instructions.

  There was plenty of excitement in the classroom as our Beebots sometimes went in completely the wrong direction! We made lots of mistakes, but that's how we learn.

  The children showed fantastic determination and were so proud when their Beebots finally followed the correct route. Well done, everyone! 🌟

  

• Year 5 - Science

  Thu 17 Sep 2026

  This week in Science, we carried out a scientific investigation. Unfortunately, a supermarket dropped some of their delivery and the materials got mixed up. We had to separate sand and water, flour and 'raisins', rice and paper clips as well as water and salt. We explored sieving, evaporating and filtering. 

  

• Brilliant Year 6 WW2 display

  Thu 17 Sep 2026

  Year 6 are really enjoying learning about WW2 this half term, and have a fantastic display to explore the topic further. 

  

• Year 4 - Handwriting

  Thu 17 Sep 2026

  This week, Year 4 have been working hard to develop their handwriting skills. Our focus has been on forming letters accurately and practising joins to letters with ascenders, helping pupils to build fluency and consistency in their writing. The children showed great concentration and perseverance during each session, taking pride in the presentation of their work. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they continue to develop a clear, neat and joined handwriting style.

  

• Year 6 - Trip to St Ann's Church and Gymnastics

  Mon 14 Sep 2026

  Year 6 have begun exploring their History topic of WW2 this half term, and they started with a trip to St Ann's Church to visit the RAF graves. The adults were so impressed with the children's current knowledge of WW2 and also their curious questioning. We are looking forward to exploring this subject more. We then burnt off some energy in Gymnastics in the hall! Well done, Year 6. We are so proud of how amazing you are.
