• Year 3 - practical maths

  Mon 21 Nov 2022

  Year 3 were great Collabadons this week, using lots of manipulatives in maths to begin to investigate the 3 times table. They used numicon, counters, cubes, number lines and iPads to remember the pattern in 3s and start to master their times tables. Well done 

  

• Year 4 - Lacrosse

  Fri 18 Nov 2022

  This week, year 4 had their third lacrosse session. Have a look at the photographs. We’re really improving with our skills and are almost ready for a game.

  

• Year 2 - A happy week all around!

  Fri 18 Nov 2022

  This week the Year 2’s have been working very hard in all of their subjects. In ICT, they started a new topic on Internet safety.  The children have been learning how to send emails, and how to respond to them safely (all under the careful protected program in Purple Mash).

  In PE, they were all excited to have had a go at the parachute challenges.

  This week was the last week in our writing to entertain topic in English. The children are now becoming great experts on using the expanded noun phrase. Their character descriptions have been sensational.

  Friday brought all of the children into school in colourful clothing to support the charities included in Children in Need. Thank you for all of your donations.

  We have now begun with our Christmas production rehearsals, and are delighted that parents have been helping their children learn their lines for any speaking parts.

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 17 Nov 2022

  Year 5 pupils had a terrific time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and autumn sunshine - especially after so much wind and rain recently!

Congratulations to all the children who won the den building competition!

• Football Friendly Against Holy Trinity

• Year 1 - Autumn Crowns

  Fri 11 Nov 2022 Mrs Ireland

  We have had a lovely afternoon in the school nature reserve, especially as the sun was shinning. The children found pretty coloured leaves to decorate their own Autumn crown. This was our final activity to round off our topic of Autumn. The children now seem so much more knowledgeable about the season.
