This week has been SATs week for Year 6, we have started each day with a class breakfast and completed our final preparations together. The class have worked so hard, and this has been a great opportunity for them to showcase their learning!
Reception - Maths - Rotating Shapes
In Maths, we have been thinking about how we can use our words to describe shapes. Today we rotated our shapes in our hands and discovered that even when they are rotated they keep their shape. The children then enjoyed creating patterns and pictures with shapes. They needed to rotate the shapes to fit them in the correct part of the picture.
Year 4 Maths - Money
Year 4 have been putting their calculation, decimal and conversion skills to the test in Maths this week, looking at money.
Pre-School- Physical Development- Outdoor Fun
In outdoor learning this week we have been creating potions exploring different textures with natural materials, flowers, herbs, looking at what sinks or floats in the water and making stirring and pouring actions. Mixing potions encourages the children's imaginative play and helps develop their language skills. The children linked to our story adding in magic jelly beans. The children used the balance bikes to develop their gross motor skills and used their skills from P.E to move around children to not bang into each other. The children have been using the tree rope to pull themselves up on the rope and swing on it, it has taken some time to build up their upper arm strength to hold themselves up on the rope. The children enjoyed using different water tools to create marks on the windows and floors and talked about the marks they created.
Nursery - Art - Frogs
Our craft activity today was to create a 3D bouncing frog! The children painted cups green, developing fine motor skills with paintbrushes. They then placed the eyes and legs onto the green base with varied approaches, with different eye and leg placements to create very different characters for their frogs, demonstrating individual creative expression. The children laughed and loved playing with their finished frogs, bouncing them up and down on the lilypads.
Online Safety -Minecraft
With its limitless opportunities for building, exploring and collaborating, Minecraft remains a global gaming phenomenon. Its broad appeal lies in how open-ended it is – but this also means it’s not without risk. From chatting with strangers on public servers to the grief of having a beloved creation destroyed, young players can face challenges if left unsupervised. Minecraft can also become a time sink for enthusiastic players, with late nights spent crafting and constructing, potentially impacting school and social lives. We’ve created this free guide to help parents and educators understand how to keep young gamers safe – from choosing age-appropriate game modes to setting boundaries around screen time and spending.
Year 2 - Art - Representing Movement
Year 2 students explored expressing emotions and movements through art in their lesson. The images show them learning how to change the positions of arms and legs when drawing stick figures to depict different actions and feelings, such as being normal, reaching, stretching, dancing/jumping, feeling scared or shocked.
Year 2 - English - We Love to Read!
Year 2 students enjoyed dedicated "Reading for Pleasure" time. The images capture the children engrossed in a variety of books, highlighting their engagement and love for reading. Each student is absorbed in their chosen story, fostering a positive reading culture within the classroom.
Pre-School- Maths- Counting And Recognising Numbers
This week in Maths the children have been developing their skills in counting to 10. The children engaged in a number game of rolling the dice and counting the dots, then matching them to the numbers on the cards. The children worked together to put the numbers in the number sequence and talked about what number came after.
Year 1 - English - Non Fiction Books
Our amazing Year 1 explorers have been on a thrilling adventure, uncovering the secrets hidden within non-fiction books!
