Year 3 - Multiplication, Non-Chronological Texts, and Panto Practice.
Fri 10 Jan 2025This week in maths, we tackled multiplying 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, using a variety of methods to master this tricky skill. We also made great progress with our 3 times tables, building confidence along the way!
In English, we dived into the world of non-chronological texts, exploring their features and starting to think about how we can write our own engaging pieces.
Guided Reading brought us the colourful and lively story of The Parrot Tico Tango, which sparked some great discussions and lots of smiles.
The most exciting part of the week was starting rehearsals for our play, Panto Pandemonium! The children are bursting with energy and enthusiasm as they step into their roles – it’s already shaping up to be a fantastic performance!

Year 4 - A new start with new experiences
Thu 09 Jan 2025What a chilly yet wonderful start to the term! The children are raring to go with their new topics and new experiences.
Our PE lessons have started with so much enthusiasm and excitement. Why? This half term we have a cricket coach teaching the children on a Wednesday morning, and we have started our new indoor unit on badminton on a Tuesday afternoon.
In Computing, we are investigating online safety which we know is an essential skill for us all.
In Maths, we are continuing with Multiplication and Division, which is preparing us well for the upcoming Multiplication Test Check in the Summer Term.
We are all very excited for our DT project this half term which is food technology. Next week, the children will be make and tasting their very own pasta sauce! The recipe has been sent home too, so that everyone can make and enjoy this delicious sauce.
A huge congratulations to all of those Year 4 children who took part in the cross- country try-out this week. We were all so impressed with your efforts.
What a great first week back!

Year Two Production and Christmas Decorations
Thu 12 Dec 2024Wow what a fantastic performance! We are all very proud of how hard the children have worked to learn their lines, know their acting role, dancing and singing for our school Christmas play. We hope you enjoyed watching them perform and joining in with our last song. They are super singers and I'm sure you will be hearing the songs over and over again well into January!
Over the last few weeks, the children have also been working hard on designing and making their puppets. They are looking forward to finishing these off next week, adding the details to bring their puppets alive.
They have used their new sewing skills to create a pine cone gonk and Christmas pudding decoration to sell on our stall at Winter Fun Night. We hope you are able to come along and enjoy the festive event.

Year 4
Thu 12 Dec 2024With the run up to Christmas, the children have had the opportunity to see the Reception and KS1Christmas performances. They proved to be an excellent audience for them all. They will be performing their own production next term.
With the hall occupied, our indoor PE lesson took place in the music hut where they did some fitness exercises and did some cosmic yoga. This is something they can also do over the holidays when they need some calming time.
The children have now completed all of the Christmas gifts ready for the Winter Fun Night tomorrow!
We hope to see you there bright and early to purchase these sensational Christmas Lights. We know they will be selling fast...Ho!Ho!HO! See you all there!
