• Year 5 nature reserve

  Thu 10 Feb 2022

  Year 5 had a wonderful time in the nature reserve this morning, creating incredibly impressive dens from natural materials.

   

  Children chose their own groups, and they worked collaboratively to decide how to construct a solid and stable shelter.

   

  They explored the nature reserve to search for suitable logs and sticks to make their vision a reality.

   

  We are all looking forward to returning to the forest after the half-term holiday.

  

• Year 6: Mental Health Week

  This week, year 4 have been very busy learning a range of new skills.

   

  In our maths sessions, we developed a formal written method of multiplication and used it to solve a range of problems.

   

  Throughout our English lessons, we have been learning to recognise and write complex sentences.

   

  During outdoor PE we even played our very first full hockey match.

  Year 3 have been finding out about the life of Queen Elizabeth II ready for the Platinum Jubilee. In English, we looked at the features of the biography genre and we researched and wrote a biography of her life. Well done to all the children for their super efforts.

• Year 2 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 03 Feb 2022

  We’ve been living life on the edge and sawing our very own wooden discs ready to make some natural necklaces - step aside Pandora!

   

  Thankfully no missing fingers and lots of beautifully decorated wooden shapes. Well done year 2! 

  

• Year 5 Pizzas

  Thu 03 Feb 2022

  The children in Year 5 had a fabulous time making pizzas this week.

   

  For this half-term's DT topic, we have been researching what constitutes a healthy, balanced meal. Using the NHS EatWell Guide, children designed their pizzas to ensure that all the main food groups were included.

   

  The children had a wonderful time practising their weighing and chopping skills, and they all created amazing, professional-looking pizzas. The aroma coming from the kitchen this week has been the talk of the school!

   

  Thank you very much for your support with this project.

  

• Year One - What makes a good friend?

  Wed 02 Feb 2022 Mrs Ireland

  This week we have been discussing what makes a good friend during our Discovery RE sessions. The children had fun creating a ‘friendship web’ passing a ball of wool around the circle, and exchanging compliments to each other. We then all made friendship bracelets for one another which was great fun!
