This week is financial awareness week. In Year 1 we have been focusing on job and skills. We have thought about which jobs and skills are going to help us to communicate, problem solve, use creative thinking skills and work as a team which also ties in with our skills builder work this half term. We worked in teams to sort out which jobs use specific skills. We then thought about which jobs we are going Read more
As part of Financial Awareness Week, Year 2 have been learning all about the difference between wants and needs! We started our learning by watching a short video that helped us understand why it’s important to think carefully about the things we buy and use. The children quickly discovered that needs are the things we must have to survive, like food, water and shelter, while wants are the things that are nice to have but Read more
Year 2 took part in a Skills Builder lesson this week, focusing on the importance of teamwork. The children worked together on fun challenges that required good communication, listening, and cooperation. One of our favourite activities involved using a hula hoop—the challenge was to pass it all the way around the circle without letting go of each other’s hands! It took plenty of teamwork, problem-solving, and laughter to complete. Everyone showed fantastic collaboration, perseverance, and Read more
This week in Science, Year 2 investigated how shadows change size. Using torches and different objects, we discovered that when an object moves closer to the light source, its shadow becomes bigger, and when it moves further away, the shadow gets smaller. The children made excellent observations, used great scientific vocabulary, and had lots of fun experimenting with light and shadows!
Reception have enjoyed learning about Diwali. We have been making rangoli patterns, Diwali cards, Rama and Sita masks and taste testing food. We also enjoyed some dancing to end our day!
Year 4 arrived at school today to a surprising scene- our classroom was covered in police tape and swarming with frogs! Something mysterious has clearly happened overnight… We have states off the week by stepping into the shoes of detectives. Armed with notepads and curious minds, we’ve been interviewing eyewitnesses, gathering clues, and piecing together the puzzle.
During our Art topic this half term the children have been looking at Beatriz Milhazes work. We were inspired by some of her pieces and decided to make our own using different skills we have learnt during this unit.
we have absolutely LOVED Forest School this half term. For our final session with enjoyed s’mores! We are so lucky to experience this so many times in Year 1! It helps us to build our communication and listening skills as well as our Skills Builder focusing on team work! Thank you to Miss Brown for planning our sessions so well.
We have enjoyed Wiggle Worship this week. The children have enjoyed dancing with Wiggle, reading a Bible story, reflecting on the story and finishing with a prayer.
Today in science, Year 5 took part in an ice race. The children were placed into groups and had to race to free a toy car from a block of ice using only rock salt and table salt! The children had to see which type of salt performed better at melting the ice and would free their car the quickest. The children loved the experiment and had a lot of fun taking part. Well done, Read more
