Reception- Literacy- Tricky Word Challenge
The Reception children have been working incredibly hard on developing their knowledge of tricky words. To make this learning as hands-on as possible, our independent learning turned into an active word-hunting challenge! The children loved searching through the magnetic letters, eagerly hunting out the correct graphemes to build these "tricky" words. Once they successfully assembled a word, they matched it up directly to their personal word logs. It was fantastic to watch their confidence grow and their enthusiasm for matching their magnetic creations to their logs showed just how much ownership they are taking of their reading journey.

Reception - R.E - Special Places with Lego
Over the last few weeks, the children have been developing their understanding of what makes a place truly special. To bring this learning to life in our recent R.E. lesson, we got out the Lego! The classroom was buzzing with creativity as the children designed and built the places we had been discussing. As they proudly showcased their creations, each child explained in detail exactly why their chosen place held meaning to them. It was incredibly moving to hear them articulate their thoughts, proving just how much their empathy and reflective skills have grown throughout this unit.
Nursery - Re - The Story of Moses
In R.E this week we have listened to the story of baby Moses. To help us gain a stronger understanding of the story, we created our very own paper plate craft activity were the children can see Baby Moses floating down the river in a little basket. The children then were able to use their craft as a prop and their thinking skills to retell the story of baby Moses to their friends.
Year 2 RE: Pentecost
Our Year 2 class brought the story of Pentecost to life today! After learning about the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the children used their creativity to build incredible Lego models representing the wind, the flames, and the disciples sharing their message with the world. Such a fun, hands-on way to explore our RE theme. Fantastic teamwork and imagination, Year 2!
Year 4 Maths - Looking at Polygons
Year 4 have been looking at the different names and properties of polygons in our Maths lessons this week. We have used mirrors to find out how many lines of symmetry each polygon has and enjoyed finding lines of symmetry on different items around the classroom!
Year 6: Chip Party
In preparation for the leavers service, year 6 attended a "chip party" where they learnt songs, that they will be performing, and of course had chips too!
Year 6: Maths - Theme Park Challenge
As year 6 come to the end of their journey at primary school, they are completing a team challenge which uses all of their English, Maths and team work skills! The challenge is to design, advertise and budget for a working theme park.
Year 1 - Geography - To Create a Map
Following on from last week, Year 1 used the physical and human features found in their fieldwork to create their own maps. Using aerial views of our local area and lots of resources from around the classroom, the children constructed a messy map. After this, they labelled their own maps, remembering the human and physical features they had identified.
Y1 - English - To Write a Prediction
Year 1 started their new English topic this week, The Last Wolf. The children went on the hunt for a wolf after Mrs Murray told us there had been reports of one on the loose! The children gathered clues, including a red cloak, an apple, a bin bag and a log. Using these, the children wrote a prediction of what they thought our story eould be about.
Year 2 Science: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Year 2 have started a new topic in Science about plant-based materials. We have deepened our knowledge of sustainability by considering the 3R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Miss Mulligan was extremely impressed with the creativity shown during the "trash to treasure" activity, where the children chose a piece of rubbish to redesign into a new useful product. Plastic bottles became bird feeders, cardboard boxes became bug hotels, old tights became teddies!
Year 3 - Maths - Finding Right Angles
Year 3 have been turning into maths detectives this week! The children have been exploring geometry by searching high and low for right angles right here in our classroom. Equipped with their trusty right-angle testers, they have been checking everything from the corners of their books to the edges of the whiteboard. It has been a fantastic way to bring our shape and space topic to life and see how maths connects to the world around us.
Year 3 - Science - Planning An Investigation
Year 3 have been busy working like real scientists this week! The children are currently planning an exciting investigation to find out if there is a link between our hand span and our grip strength. They have been discussing how to make it a fair test, predicting what might happen, and deciding how to measure their results accurately. We cannot wait to get hands-on with the testing phase next week and see if our predictions match the data. Stay tuned for the results!
