This morning Year 5 had a very rude visitor to class in the form of Mr Grinch himself! The children will be using the visit as inspiration to write a persuasive letter trying to convince the Grinch not to steal Christmas. He managed to wreck our Christmas tree, throw our books and dress up with our tinsel, but the worst part of all…he stole our chocolate! If thats not enough reason to write a fantastic Read more
This afternoon, both year 6 classes went to Queen’s Park to carry out fieldwork linked with our Geography topic – fieldwork. The children used their knowledge of conducting fieldwork and field sketches to carry out a sketch of our local area. They used an acronym OASIS (orientation, annotations, scales information and sight) to support their sketch. The children also conducted a traffic and colour of vehicle survey on their way to the park, this date Read more
This morning Year 5 were rudely interrupted during our English lesson. The grinch came in whilst we were planning our persuasive letters. He ruined our Christmas tree, stole our decorations and ignored the children when they tried to persuade him to love Christmas. This has given us more of a reason to write our persuasive letters. The children went on to add lots of persuasive techniques to their plans.
This half-term, 20 Year 2 and 3 children took part in an afterschool club to learn circus skills. We learnt how to juggle with scarves, do tricks with flower sticks, balance feathers on different body parts, how to spin plates and do various tricks with them and much more. Well done to all the children! They were fantastic! Please look out for a feedback form coming home with your child, the feedback will hopefully enable Read more

Christians believe that angels are God’s special messengers and, in the Christmas story, angels bring special messages to various people. Today we spent time thinking about the role of angels in the Christmas story with the children working together to order how the angels appeared throughout Read more
Juniper have thought really carefully about their advent promises this year. We have beautifully decorated our advent candles with a promise that we are going to try to keep throughout Advent. Well done everyone!
In our class reflective worship this week, we thought about the time of advent. We discussed how this time of year is an exciting time but can also be a difficult/sad time for some people. We then thought about courageous advocacy, the inspirational people we have read about and our Christian values, before writing an advent promise. We had some lovely, kind thoughts and ideas such as “I will pray everyday for people to have Read more
This week in Maths we have been learning about shapes. We have been using shapes in different ways to investigate their properties. We have then been on a shape hunt to find different shapes in the environment. Everyone has enjoyed learning about 2D and 3D shapes.
Year 1 loved this shape sorting activity. They had to decide how many sides each shape has and then sort them into the different groups. We then had to draw round them and label each shape.
Year 3 looked at what makes The Holy Bible so special and how it is divided up into different chapters, verses, books and arranged into two testaments. We explored big questions which included; what do Christian’s get out of reading the holy book? What do people find helpful about reading the Bible? Why do some people love the Bible? We then looked at a range of Bibles and created a quiz for Mrs Farrell with Read more
