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 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?

We played noise bingo and drew pictures of our eyes!!

Year 2 Poetry Workshop
Tue 28 Jan 2025This week, Year 2 have had some special visitors working with them to create some wonderful poetry. The children's poems were inspired by where they live and what they love about Weymouth and their home. They had a chance to write a longer poem with a repeating line, and then they created cinquain poems with very strict rules on the number of syllables in each line. The children thoroughly enjoyed the morning and their poems were extremely impressive.

Reception - Capacity and Weight
Tue 28 Jan 2025We have been investigating if things are heavier or lighter in maths this week using balance scales and have even had a go at being a pair of balance scales ourselves.
We have also been exploring capacity and seeing how much of something can fit in a container. We used cubes, water, rice and blocks to see how many would fill containers.

Year 3 - Rehearsals, Writing and Division.
Fri 24 Jan 2025This week, we have been busy continuing our Panto Pandemonium rehearsals, with the children showing fantastic enthusiasm and teamwork as they bring their roles to life.
In maths, we’ve been learning how to divide 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers, using different strategies to build confidence and understanding.
In English, the children have been working on writing non-chronological reports about their chosen animals. They’ve enjoyed researching interesting facts and presenting their information clearly and creatively.
