Mon 10 Feb 2025In our maths lessons this week, the children have been looking at decimals.
As well as revising decimal place value, children have been learning how to convert from a fraction to a decimal (and vice versa) and how to compare and order decimals.
The magnificent mathematicians of Year 5 have excelled in these lessons.

Reception - Doubling
Mon 10 Feb 2025We have been exploring what is means to double something this week in our maths lessons.
We had great fun using our magic doubling pot - we put things in and double the amount came out. We also explored doubling dots on dice and rolling doubles, doubling counters and doubling items from around the classroom.
Great doubling Reception!

Year 3 - Poems and Pantomime
Fri 07 Feb 2025This week, we had a fantastic visit from The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares for a poetry workshop. The children loved selecting their favourite parts of Weymouth and turning them into creative and imaginative poems.
With our pantomime just around the corner, we can all feel the nerves and the excitement! The children have been working hard in rehearsals, and we can’t wait to share the performance next week!

Year 4 - newspapers, frogs, mental health and division - phew!
Thu 06 Feb 2025This week the children have completed a few activities to help us understand how we can improve our mental health, and recognise how we can overcome challenges.
We have certainly had a new challenge in English this week as we have become newspaper reporters. We have had to observe, take notes and then start writing about Flying Frogs Invading Weymouth! Read all about it next week!
In maths, we have been looking at division with flexible partitioning, and perimeter of shapes with unmarked sides - well done, everyone!

Year Two - The Adventures of The Class Pet
Thu 06 Feb 2025What an exciting day we have had today! Our class pets have been busy today. When the children arrived at school, they found the class pets eating breakfast in the Year Two area. The class pets then found their way to the nature reserve, where they were toasting marshmallows around a campfire. During assembly, the class pets were a little naughty and had got the paint out. They were having a great time painting pictures. During lunch, the class pets joined the children in the hall and finished most of their sandwiches. After lunch the class pets had found their way into one of the offices and made a bit of a mess. The children have really enjoyed following the events of the class pets and are getting ready to write a diary for them next week.
During our forest time, not only did all of the children enjoy toasting a marshmallow, they also went on a scavenger hunt related to their materials work in science. The children had to find objects that were rough, smooth, yellow...This helped the children to describe the properties of materials.

Year 4 - Wonderful Weymouth!
Sun 02 Feb 2025What a wonderful day Year 4 had on Friday!
It might have been January, but the sun shone down us all so that we could complete the local History Trail in relative warmth!
Whilst we are studying our local link to the Black Death, we were also in awe to discover how much other history Weymouth truly has.
How lucky are we to live here!
A huge thank you to all the parent helpers who made the trip possible, it is much appreciated.

Year 5 Pizza Making
Fri 31 Jan 2025This week, Year 5 had a blast designing and making their own pizzas while learning about balanced diets. They have been discussing the importance of including various food groups including carbohydrates, vegetables, and protein.
They all created delicious pizzas that were both tasty and nutritious. It was a fun way to learn about healthy eating while enjoying the cooking process. The children were fantastic Collabadons!
Well done year 5!

Year 3- A Journey to Oz
Thu 30 Jan 2025This week, we stepped into the magical world of The Wizard of Oz!
Our adventure began with Dorothy, who told us where we were. She let us borrow her shiny ruby slippers and sent us off down the Yellow Brick Road.
As we followed the path, we met the Scarecrow. He gave us a tricky riddle to solve so we could ‘get a brain’!
Next, we walked into the Tin Man’s forest. There, we had to guide a blindfolded friend along a path to ‘earn a heart’.
Finally, we reached the Lion’s den. To ‘find our courage’, we had to complete a fun obstacle course!
Over the next two weeks, in our English lessons, we will write about following the Yellow Brick Road and meeting a new character along the way. Who might we find?
