• Year Two - Lyme Regis, Fossils and Digital Art

  Fri 05 Jun 2026 Mrs Mutch

  This week in Year Two has been full of excitement as we began exploring our new Geography and History topics all about Mary Anning and Lyme Regis!

  In Geography, the children showed fantastic enthusiasm while learning how to use OS (Ordnance Survey) maps. They worked collaboratively to identify both human and physical features of Lyme Regis, developing their map-reading skills along the way. It was wonderful to see such strong teamwork as they explored map symbols together.

  In English, the classroom was buzzing with creativity! The children worked in groups to prepare and ask thoughtful questions to a scientist about a fossil they had “discovered.” They then brought their learning to life by pretending to be TV presenters, interviewing the scientist. Using iPads, they filmed their interviews, and it was fantastic to see their confidence grow as they spoke clearly and stayed in role.

  In Art and Computing, the children combined their creativity and digital skills to produce beautiful impressionist-style landscapes using a paint program. They explored colour, texture, and brush effects digitally, resulting in some truly imaginative and expressive artwork.

  We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been in their learning—well done, Year Two!

• Year 3 - Van Gogh art work

  Fri 05 Jun 2026

  Year 3 have been brilliant sketch artists recently! We studied some sketches by Van Gogh, practised drawing eyes, noses, mouths and getting the proportions of a face right. We then did a self-portrait from black and white photos we took. The results were fabulous, well done Year 3!

  

• Year 4 - New topics and MTC!

  Fri 05 Jun 2026

  What a first week back! Congratulations to all the children that have completed their MTC this week. No more daily times table practice! However, we will still continue weekly practices to ensure we don't forget them after working so hard on them. This week, we have started lots of new topics including Watercolour Landscapes in Art, States of Matter in Science and Humanism in RE. We have also be emersed into the story of The Man who Walked Between the Towers. Retelling the story orally this week was an exciting challenge. We are really looking forward to Leeson House next week. 

  

• Year One - Inside P.E.

  Tue 02 Jun 2026 Mrs I

  Tuesday was a very rainy afternoon, so we weren’t able to go outside. Instead, we made the most of our time by using the hall. The teachers set up the apparatus, and the children had great fun exploring it.

   

  They enjoyed balancing and climbing on the different pieces of equipment, moving around and showing off their balancing and climbing skills.

  All the children had lots of fun staying active indoors!

  

• Year 5’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz Performance

  Sat 30 May 2026

  What a fantastic performance from our amazing Year 5 children in their production of The Wizard of Oz! We are so proud of every child who took part.

   

  From the brilliant singing and energetic dancing to the confident acting, the children truly shone on stage. Their hard work, teamwork and determination were clear to see throughout the performance.

   

  The wonderful costumes helped bring the story to life, and the children supported and encouraged one another every step of the way.

   

  A huge congratulations to all of Year 5 for such a memorable show — you were outstanding!

   

  

• Year 4 History Trip

  Fri 22 May 2026

  Third times lucky! After postposing the trip twice before, we were lucky to make it on the third attempt!

  What a great trip!

  We discovered so many new fascinating facts about our local town. A few facts we already knew through our Black Death topic. We walked around the harbour and using our mapping skills located the historical road plaques.

  Apart from a shower (during our lunchtime) we had a great day on all fronts! 

  A huge thank you to the volunteer parents! 

  

• Year Two - Swimming and Poetry

  Fri 22 May 2026 Mrs Mutch

  We are so proud of the fantastic effort Year 2 have shown this week!

  In English, the children have been writing their own poems inspired by The Owl and the Pussycat. They have loved exploring rhythm and rhyme, and it has been wonderful to see them use these skills to create their own imaginative and creative alternative verses. The results have been lovely, and the children are very proud of their work.

  Swimming continues to be a great success. It has been amazing to see how quickly the children have progressed in just a couple of weeks. Many who were initially hesitant are now swimming happily and joining in all the activities with smiles on their faces—well done to everyone!

  In Maths, we have continued our work on telling the time, which is an area that many children find challenging. Please continue to support your child at home by practising reading clocks and discussing time in everyday situations—it really does make a big difference.

  Finally, it has been so nice to enjoy some sunshine this week—it has certainly lifted everyone’s spirits!

  We hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing half-term holiday.

• Year 4 - Design Technology at its best!

  Fri 15 May 2026

  After weeks of studying, practising sewing different stitches and designing their own pencil cases, the Year 4 children finally got onto the making their pencil cases! What a fantastic job they have done! Whilst some are still working on them, the quality and various styles created are simply wonderful!

  Super proud of our designers!
