A super PE lesson
In Bluebells, we have been improving our Super Strength power in PE. We all needed to be prepared in case the evil pea returns, so we have been working hard with our exercises. After our warm up, we practised moving in different ways (in case we needed to sneak out of a sticky situation). We also practised our balancing skills and looked at how we can use different parts of our body to help us Read more

The Iron Cat
After learning all term about electricity and reading our class book ‘The Iron Man’. We worked together as a class to create a robot – ‘The Iron Cat’. It was tricky to find all the pieces of Lego to make the robot but we were determined to complete it and follow all 176 instructions to complete our robot.

Staying Safe In The Summer – Fire Service Visit
An interesting, informative and important visit from Heywood Fire Station to help us to learn how to stay safe near water as the weather starts to improve (hopefully). Well done to the children and Miss Smith for getting involved trying on the equipment and also asking some very mature questions during the visit.

Year 3’s shared learning
We really enjoyed our shared learning experience. We played ‘Guess Who’ in French then sketched each other and labelled it with French vocabulary. Some of us even used a French Dictionary to find words to describe each others personality. Merci Beacoup, for all the parents, grandparents and carers who joined us, we loved having you with us in the classroom!

The children had the chance to explore the settings, taking in all the sights and sounds to help inspire their writing. They used the FANTASTICs (9 lenses we can look through to help gather ideas Read more

Times Tables Rock Stars
Over the last two weeks, Year 6 have started using TT Rock Stars to help improve our table knowledge and recall speed. The children have all improved their baseline speed, some over 2 seconds quicker per times table when recalling table facts.

The Evil Pea
Bluebells had a big surprise today when they came in from dinner. Someone had been in our classroom and look what they had done… We asked everybody we know who could have done this, but no one knew. Someone had come into our classroom and held all of the vegetables hostage! We all worked together to free the vegetables that had been held hostage and Miss Longmire is going to take them all back to Read more
