• Year 1 - Katie Morag

  Thu 05 May 2022 E Satherley

  This week we have been exploring the world of Katie Morag. We have been reading some of the Katie Morag stories and finding about the island where she lives. As she lives on a Scottish Island, we have found out that it is quite different from Weymouth. The children have looked at maps of Struary and identifies the physical features of the island. They had a go at drawing the features on their own map of the Isle of Struary.

  

• Reception- The Very Hungry Caterpillar

  Thu 05 May 2022

   This week has all been about a classic story, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We have found out about the life cycle and will actually watch this happen with our butterfly farm. 

  We have painted, collaged and acted out the story. 

  Here are a few of the things we have done. 🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛

  

• Year 6 Mayan topic

  Thu 05 May 2022

  After our hook day last week, we explored chronology to discover where the Mayans fit in with what periods of time we already know. 

  

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 05 May 2022

  Year 5 pupils had a wonderful time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine. After another fabulous singing rehearsal, 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 new leaves on the trees and wild flowers growing everywhere. Summer is definitely on its way!

  

• Year 3 - Soup Making

  Sun 01 May 2022

  Year 3 have been busy working on their Design and Technology skills this week. The children all followed a recipe well to make tomato soup. They showed excellent chopping and blending skills. We then tasted the soup, so we were able to evaluate it when we got back to the classroom. Yummy!

  

• Year 4 Super Start

  Fri 29 Apr 2022 FProbert

  29 April

  Can you believe that we’ve reached the final term of the year? This term, the year 4 students have so much to look forward to. We will soon be heading to Leeson House for our residential trip. The trip is closely linked to our geography topic on coasts. This week, we have already looked at the different features of the coast and even drawn our own scaled-maps of Lulworth using Ordinance Survey maps.  Why not ask us about arches, stacks, headlands and dunes?

  In English, we have written non-chronological reports about Hermit Crabs. Our spelling lesson was extra fun, for we made the most of the weather and practised spelling our words ending in the suffixes que and gue by using chalk on the playground.

  We have also started investigating pencil cases as part of our DT work. Watch this space for some marvellous products at the end of term.

  We hope you enjoyed watching the online version of our play – ‘A Big Green Adventure’. We are still celebrating their success!

   

  

• Year 1 Planting sunflowers

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  Year One have been busy looking at seeds and talking about what seeds need to grow strong and healthy.  Some children thought they needed water and sunshine, others thought they needed warmth, water and sunshine.  We discussed why we plant seeds in compost.

  Everyone planted two sunflower seeds and we are keeping our fingers crossed 🤞 that they all germinate. 
  Let’s watch these pots ! 🌻

  

• Year 5 Singing Rehearsals

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  The children in Year 5 have been busy learning a variety of West End hits in preparation for their play.

  The children have impressed with their enthusiasm and their pitch-perfect performances of these toe-tapping tunes.

  We cannot wait to perform for you later this half term!

   

  

• Year 6 Mayan Hook

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  To launch our new history topic, we spent the afternoon taking part in a range of Mayan related activities: writing, numbers, masks and hot chocolate! 

  

• Reception-Little Wandle Reading

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  The children in Reception are reading superstars! 

  We read at least three times a week, and sometimes five to be this brilliant!

  The children read with all the different adults from Reception, and it is amazing to hear them read so well. 

  Keep up the good work Reception.
