Happy, kind and brave.
Together we learn, together we grow, together we soar.
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
On Monday, some children from Year 6 were invited to go and try out some Table Tennis activities and a tournament at All Saints School. All children did their absolute best and had a great time!
Odd Sock Day.
Today, everyone wore odd socks as a fun and visible way to celebrate individuality and raise awareness that we can all make a difference by speaking up when we hear unkind words or see hurtful actions.
We had fun designing our own socks and talking about how we are all different and that's ok.
This week, we have been super busy learning and practising our times tables. We have been playing lots of different games and taking part in challenges to help us with our fluency. Why not ask them to show you and play with them? In addition, we have been using Scratch for our coding skills and learnt a new dance routine for our Secret Agent dances. Finally, in recognition of Anti-bullying week, we have worn our odd socks.
This week in Year 2, we continued looking at puppets. The children learned how to use a template to create their very own finger puppets. It was wonderful to see their creativity as they designed and decorated their puppets. During our sewing, we discovered an important lesson: glue isn’t always the best way to fix material together. This gave us the chance to talk about different joining techniques and why some work better than others.
Alongside our puppet-making fun, we have also started preparing for Christmas! The children have been learning their words and songs for our festive performance. There’s a real buzz of excitement in the classroom as we get ready to celebrate this special time of year. We can't wait to perform later in the term.
This week, Year 6 started their unit on coding. We explored what happens to the hands on a clock then worked with out talk partners to sequence the commands.
Year 5 pupils had a terrific time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and crisp autumn weather - especially after so much wind and rain recently!
After a busy start to the term, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods.
Congratulations to all the children who won the den-building competition!
Jungle Book Dance Fun!
This week, the children explored movement through the character Baloo from The Jungle Book. They loved bouncing, scratching, wiggling, and dancing to music—just like Baloo does!
Working in pairs, they created short dances that showed Baloo’s happy and playful personality. It was a joyful session full of creativity, laughter, and teamwork.
This week in Year Two the children have been exploring what it is like to like in the Arctic. They enjoyed using maps and looking at pictures to see what life is like in the Arctic. They used images to talk about what happens sometimes, always and never. They learnt that vehicles in the arctic have big wheels so they do not slide on the ice. They also explored what school in the Arctic looks like.
In English the children have been looking at non-fiction texts. They have used what they learnt to write sentence about polar bears. The children wrote some great sentences and are enjoying learning about Arctic animals.
In nature time the children went on a spider web hunt. They learnt how many different spider webs there are and were able to find these in the woods.
In games, the children are exploring attacking, defending and shooting skills using footballs. The children enjoyed working collaboratively to play small games and used their ball control skills.
What a busy first week back!
After finding a dragon egg, the children have been letting their creativity take over and design their own dragon to write a non-chronological report about.
In addition, we definitely have some super stealthy super agents amongst us! We started our dance topic in PE where we became spies and secret agents to create a movement sequence to the Mission Impossible theme tune.
Another highlight this week has been exploring our geography topic of Mountains. We have been fabulous Explorasauruses looking through atlases and finding lots of different information about Europe and the mountains found in the UK.
This week, year 3 began their first music lesson of the year by learning to read simple musical notation and playing our glockenspiels. Over the next few weeks we will learn an increasing number of songs on these instruments and work hard to become a …….glockenspiel band!!!
In addition, this week we have also started our first DT topic on packaging. So far , we have examined a range of packaging for products (crisps, cereals, sweets etc.) and attempted to create sketches of nets for a packet of raisins. This will help us in the coming weeks as we learn to design and create our own packaging.
