For our Geography topic we have been learning about animals around the world. We picked our favourite animal and have been researching about it. In our Computing lesson we have been learning ‘effective searching’ and have been finding out more information about our favourite animal using the internet. We are going to use this research to then write a non-chronological report.
During the Spring 2 term, Year 5 Juniper have been working hard to create their own stuffed toys in Design and Technology. They created a template before cutting out their material and adding any appliques. They then used a blanket stitch to join their pieces of material together. They added stuffing to bring their shape monsters to life and made some great stuffed toys! The class really enjoyed working on their toys and they have Read more
In DT today, Year 1 made the smoothies they have been looking forward to all half-term.

I am really looking forward to seeing how big Read more
We loved our trip to Manchester Museum and had a fantastic time looking for clues within the Museum. We made our own exhibits within our workshops and compared different animals to one another. We looked at taxidermy animals and it was amazing to see the turtle in real life!

Pine had a visitor to school this morning – a graphic designer! We heard all about what a graphic designer does and how you qualify to be one. We learnt about working for a company and working for yourself (Freelance). The children were really interested in what a graphic designer might design, for example, lettering, posters, packaging, motion graphics, branding…the list is endless! We even had a go at designing a new school logo. Take Read more
