Year 6: English - Subordinating Conjunctions
This week during our grammar starters in English, year 6 have been practicing using subordinating conjunctions. We follow the i-model and use kung-fu punctuation to help!
Year 4 Assessment Week
It's been a tough week at school, with various assessments taking place throughout the week. Year 4 have tried their best to show all of their learning so far this term and hope to achieve some great results!
Year 1 PE: Tracking the ball
This week in PE, Year 1 focused on developing the vital skill of tracking the ball. This involves using both their eyes and their body to follow the ball's movement . Each child had to defend their net against an opponent trying to score, which meant constantly keeping their eyes on the ball, anticipating where it was going, and using quick body movements to successfully intercept or block the shot. The children demonstrated great effort in staying balanced and reacting quickly to the path of the ball, which is a key skill for many sports!
Year 1 Maths: Understanding 10
This week, Year 1 focused on understanding the number 10. We used counters and ten frames to test different number combinations to make our whole number: 10. We also did some SILENT maths, and used our fingers to represent the different number bonds that make 10. To consolidate this knowledge, children worked independently on various activities to reinforce their understanding of number bonds within 10, helping them develop speed and confidence within the subject.
Year 6: Science - Light
This week in science year 6 have conducted experiments to prove that light travels in a straight line. L.O: To understand the pathway of light.
Year 2 - Maths - Drawing 2D Shapes
Fantastic Maths work from Year 2! They've been brilliant at learning all about 2D shapes, especially counting the sides and vertices. The children then did a superb job of drawing their own shapes in their books. Best of all, they showed great skill and care when using the ruler to keep their lines lovely and straight. A massive well done!
Year 2 - English - Instructions
After learning about instructions in English, Year 2 worked in groups to invent new games using the P.E. equipment. They then clearly and confidently presented the rules to their classmates.
Nursery - Maths - Colours
This maths activity presented the children with multiple rich learning opportunities, all centered around a task of categorising coloured buttons into corresponding coloured bowls. This primary sorting task helped solidify their knowledge of colour, with children encouraged to vocalise the colour name or press the relevant sound button to confirm their selection. While immersed in this focused task, children also had the opportunity to build on their number language and quantity skills. Some successfully counted their buttons, and the activity naturally led to comparing quantity, using early mathematical concepts like 'more' and 'less'. Our older learners showed an extra layer of curiosity, spotting and becoming intrigued by the shaped buttons mixed in, prompting an introduction to different two-dimensional shapes. This simple activity proved highly effective in reinforcing colour, counting, and comparative language simultaneously.
Year 4 RE
Year 4 have enjoyed decorating their angels for a whole-school piece of artwork, to be used by Church. We cannot wait to see what the completed piece will look like!
Year 5 Computing - Exploring and Analysing Video Games!
Year 5 has launched into their new Computing unit on Game Creation by critically exploring video games developed using Purple Mash 2DIY3D. Students engaged in rigorous evaluation, analysing what constitutes a high-quality game, including its graphics, audio design, and core action. They then applied this analytical process to the sample games, identifying any shortcomings and brainstorming precise ways their own upcoming game designs could innovatively address these flaws.
Reception - Maths - 2d Shapes
Our Reception children have been exploring squares as part of our White Rose Maths learning. They looked for squares around the classroom, used sticks to make their own, and talked about what makes a square special. Lots of careful looking, great teamwork and brilliant shape spotting.
Year 5 and 6 PSHE - Knife Crime Workshop
This week, Year 5 and 6 welcomed a PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) to our PSHE lesson for a crucial talk on the dangers of knife crime. Students engaged actively, learning essential strategies for personal safety and understanding the legal and ethical reality: there is never a justified reason to carry a knife. The officer also provided vital guidance on critically evaluating social media content that may pose risks. Following the session, the children created clear and impactful information posters to educate the wider school community about the dangers they had learned.
