This week we we had so much fun in forest school! As we are learning about mini beasts and life cycles this term, we decided to link this with our forest school session. We did so well at remembering all of the rules and explained why we need rules – to keep us safe! To start the session off we went on a hunt to find something that was rough, something that was soft and Read more
We have been practising time today outside in the lovely weather. We have been looking at 5 minute intervals and have been playing lots of games to help us. Throughout the day Mrs Graham has been asking us what the time is. We are becoming very confident now.
We got all 20 marbles so we picked a class reward- Forest school! It was also Miss Jone’s last day 😢 so we had an extra long golden time. For forest school we went on a mini beast hunt and made pictures of mini beasts using twigs, leaves, acorns and flowers. Miss Jones was very kind and got everyone ice pops, crisps and biscuits. Thank you Miss Jones for all your hard work during your Read more
Today year 5 enjoyed finding out about the theory of evolution as part of their new science topic. First we found the definitions of some new vocabulary hidden outside and we now know the meanings of species, variation, adaptation and evolution. After this we carried out a ‘Battle of the Beaks’ investigation. We used tweezers, pegs and chopsticks as our ‘beaks’ and demonstrated what Charles Darwin found out about how the finches had adapted over Read more
This afternoon we have been playing with old fashioned toys as part of our ‘Memory Box’ topic. The children had time to try out each of the toys and figure out how they work. We then discussed how they’re different from our toys at home and which we enjoyed using.

A fantastic 1st day back for Year 5! We have started to identify the features and shapes of a text in English, ready to write our own informative non-chronological report about an animal. We looked at angles in maths and have been introduced to using a protractor. We have worked hard on inference and summary of a text in guided reading. Finally, we completed a beautiful piece of art work for our book covers. Well done Read more
We have really enjoyed our RE lesson’s this half term about Islam. We looked at significant Islamic resources: We also had a trip to Mecca in our immersive room:
Year 4 Hawthorn have worked extremely hard this week telling the time. They have been recapping telling the time to 5 and 1 minute. We have then started to convert time from a 12 hour clock to a 24 hour clock. We enjoyed some sun yesterday whilst using chalk to draw our clocks. Well done year 4, you should be very proud of yourselves!
Year 1 Willows had such fun during their time at Forest School. With the forest school teachers, Miss Steele and Mr Tomkins, the children worked really hard to listen to instructions to keep themselves safe. We went to explore the forest and looked for some creatures1 We found snails, birds nests and a moth. Mr Tomkins made a spark in the fire pit so he could make a fire. He had some chopped wood Read more
