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.
Year 5 pupils had a wonderful time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and autumn sunshine. After another successful week of learning, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods. It was lovely to see all the children getting on so well together and making the most of our wonderful outside space.
On Friday, Year 6 went into the nature reserve to create 2D shapes. Some groups even managed to make 3D shapes using items found in the nature reserve as well as plasticine!
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the weather. We have had fun being a weather forcaster and this week made our own rain gauges. We are keeping a record of the weather each day and we have drawn symbols to represent the different kinds of weather.
This week, we worked hard in our design technology lessons to build a working torch for a specific client (anyone from a gardener, to a rock-climber, to a spy). First we drew a design, then we built our circuit and finally we produced a torch case made from different materials.
In Year 6, we have finished reading Hana's Suitcase. Here are our thoughts...
Thank you to all those who have given to the harvest collection. What a wonderful school community we have!
The food donated will be going to a local food bank later this week
Any further donations will be very welcome.
This week, year 4 spent some time in the nature reserve hunting for different kinds of spider web. The pictures below show some of the ones we found. This Thursday, we also made our way to St Aldhelm’s church, where we took part in a harvest festival and sang some of the songs we’d been working on in our singing assemblies.
What a super week we have had! On Tuesday, Years 1, 2 and 3 walked down to St Aldhelm's Church to celebrate Harvest Festival. There were songs and stories, and the children were a great credit to the school.
The trip coincided with our English work on recounts. We have had a go at writing sentences with time adverbs at the beginning. We took photos of our trip, so that we could put them in chronological order. One of new favourite words -chronological, which means in the right order. We will continue working on recounts over the next two weeks. Luckily, we have another trip to look forward to next Wednesday - Kingston Maurward. This trip will not only will help with our English work, but also our Science work on Habitats.
Remember if you have any spare time over the weekend, maybe go and check out some local habitats near you.
This week has been action packed! On Thursday, the children walked to the church to take part in a Harvest service; they really enjoyed Big Red Combine Harvester. In history, they used their chronological knowledge to create a timeline line of significant dates during WWII.
5B had a fantastic trip to WOEC this week. We were incredibly proud of all of the class - every single pupil fully embraced each activity! Well done everyone for being fabulous Explorasaurus' with climbing and tunneling, and for being Collabdons during the paddle boarding to help other children back on once we'd jumped (or fallen!) off.
