  Wed 28 Sep 2022

  Year 3 have been busy again this week - children have enjoyed having a football coach for PE, have played music instruments carefully using the correct notes, have learnt about the sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and have done some super place value work in maths. Well done for your hard work 🤩 👍

• Year 1 Julia Donaldson

  Fri 23 Sep 2022

  As you know we have been reading a range of Julia Donaldson books. This week we have read The Gruffalo and the children have enjoyed retelling the story and hot seating ‘The Gruffalo’.

   

  This afternoon we had fun creating our own Stickman in the nature reserve. The children worked successfully together to join two sticks with a pipe cleaner.

  

• Year 4- Roman Numerals

  This week, in our maths sessions, we learnt how to read and write Roman numerals. We used this to solve problems and even create our own calculations.

  This term in art, Year 6 are exploring art notes. As part of the topic, we looked at the work of Kandinsky and created an artist study. Take a look... 

  

• Year 2 - progress

  Thu 22 Sep 2022 FProbert

  Year 2

  Another busy week in Year 2. The children are really starting to make progress in lots of areas. They are settling into their daily routines, and can get themselves organised and ready to work much more quickly. They are trying so very, very hard to change for PE as quickly as they can, and whilst some challenges remain, we are very proud of the progress they have made. Tying shoes and top buttons are their main challenge, so any support at home will be great.

   

  This week, the children have been working on partitioning of numbers in Maths. The photo shows how they are investigating different ways to partition a 2-digit number.

   

  

• Outdoor Learning in Reception

  Thu 22 Sep 2022 H Mullins

  The children are settling into school very well, and are really enjoying our outdoor area. This is where some of our ‘COOL’  time (choosing our own learning) takes place. 

   

  Making new friends whilst exploring and learning together is magical. 

  Building, creating, problem solving and making are going on. New language is being spoken, and physical development is also happening! Phew, we are so busy!

  

• Year 5 - Persuasive Writing

  Thu 22 Sep 2022

  In our English lessons, the children have been planning and writing a persuasive text to encourage a family audience to visit Dorset.

   

  The children have used a range of persuasive techniques to sell our wonderful county, including amazing adjectives, alliteration, rhetorical questions, exclamations and commands.

   

  We can’t wait to show you their work at October’s parents’ evenings.

  

• Year 2 - Inside and Out

  Tue 20 Sep 2022 FProbert

  Year 2 have had another super working week both inside and out of the classroom. We have had some fun outside where we had our first games session. We learned that we need good hand-eye coordination to catch and throw the balls, bean-bags and quoits. We also had a wonderful time in the Nature Reserve – we cannot wait to go again next week.

  In class, we started our Science topic on Habitats and have already looked at how animals are suited to their habitat. We know that all habitats need to provide 3 things:  food, shelter, and a safe place to raise their young. We will continue to investigate these habitats over the next few weeks. Maybe over the weekend the children can explore local habitats. We are excited to be learning songs ready for Harvest time – we are rather good at singing!

  

• Year 4 - Exciting Electricity

  Fri 16 Sep 2022

  This week, as part of our science topic on electricity, we made our own working circuits with components such as lights and buzzers. It was great fun! In our maths sessions, we continued to develop our knowledge of place value, and in our English lessons, we wrote a character description of the monster, Grendel (from our class reading book, ‘Beowulf’).
