• Year Two - pottery and recorders

  Fri 13 Jun 2025 Mrs Mutch

  This week the children have performed our recorder piece we have been learning this term. The children sang and played the recorder to a friendship song. They have learnt to play B and G on the recorder.

   

  On Thursday the children enjoyed using clay to make a clay Weymouth clock. This is in preparation for our Love Where you Live Week. It was lovely to see the children working carefully to add the details. 

   

  In maths this week we have continued to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes. The children are getting much better at this now, which is lovely to see.

• Year One - Making Toast over a Fire

  Sun 08 Jun 2025 Mrs I

  Last week, we had a great time in the nature reserve, learning how to toast bread over an open fire. Everyone discovered that using a really long stick made it much easier—and safer!

  While small groups took turns at the fire, the others made lovely leaf bracelets using natural materials. 

  Even though the smoke got in our eyes and we didn’t smell our best by the end, we all had a brilliant afternoon full of fun and learning.

  

• Year 4- Biographies

  Fri 06 Jun 2025

  This week, in our English sessions, we started a topic on biographies. First, we looked at a biography of Roald Dahl and highlighted the key features. Next, we wrote about our own lives in the third person and converted a biography of Boudicca from the present to the past tense. Finally, we used a story board of the life of Simon Cowell to practise using adverbials of time. We didn’t like it……..WE LOVED IT!

  

• Year 4 - Designers and creators

  Fri 06 Jun 2025

  It has been a very busy for the Year 4 children who have been learning to sew different stitches, sew on buttons and poopers,  all in preparation to designing and creating their own pencil cases.

   

  They have done a brilliant job. It has certainly developed their fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are an essential skill taught right at the very beginning of their educational  journey. They are essential for handwriting, cutting and drawing skills. 

   

  Sewing is a fabulous skill to be taught at any age. Why not have  a go at home too? 

  Check out just a small selection of pencil cases made by 4P and 4B.

  

• Year 5 - Solar System Activity

  Thu 05 Jun 2025

  This week, our Year 5 pupils took their science learning outdoors with an exciting activity on the school field to explore the vastness of our solar system. Using themselves as markers, the children recreated a scale model showing the relative distances of the planets from the Sun.

  Starting at one end of the field, a group of pupils represented the Sun. From there, other groups spaced themselves out to represent each planet, from Mercury all the way to Neptune. The activity helped the children grasp just how spread out the planets really are—especially the outer ones like Uranus and Neptune, which ended up near the far edge of the field!

  The children were amazed to see how close the inner planets are compared to the gas giants, and they enjoyed working together to measure and place each planet accurately. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring science to life and sparked lots of great questions and discussions.

  This memorable experience not only deepened their understanding of space but also encouraged teamwork, curiosity, and a sense of wonder about the universe. Well done, Year 5! 🌍🚀🌞

   

  

• Year 2- An exciting first week back

  Wed 04 Jun 2025 Mrs O'C

  This week, we've been mastering the skill of telling time, focusing on quarter to, quarter past, and five-minute intervals. The children have put in great effort, and their progress has been fantastic.

   

  We also began our exciting new topic on Mary Anning. Working in groups, the children explored a variety of historical sources, sparking curiosity and enthusiasm as they discussed what they would like to learn more about.

   

  In music, we've been playing the recorder. With enthusiasm and focus, the children have been practising the chords B, G, and A. 

  

• Year One - Music - Use your Imagination

  Wed 04 Jun 2025 Mrs I

  This term, we’ve been learning to play instruments to accompany our current song, Use Your Imagination. We’ve tried our hands at both the recorder and the glockenspiel. While playing the recorder was a bit of a challenge (and not always the most tuneful!), we had lots of fun and really enjoyed the experience.

  

• Year 6 Residential Day 3

  Wed 04 Jun 2025

  Day 3 and we've had another busy day. Today we started the day with a lovely walk down the river to Underfall Yard. We learnt all about the floating harbour and about the Bristol tides and trade. We walked to see the Clifton Suspension Bridge and explored some of the activities in the Underfall Yard visitor centre,

   

  After our packed lunch, we then headed back up the river for an afternoon of water sports, we kayaked, paddle boarded and got pretty wet while learning some new skills and having lots of fun.

   

  After an evening meal and a quick play in the park, we then headed on an evening river cruise. 
   

  Now, all very tired, we are relaxing while watching a bit of Wallace and Gromit.
