Nursery/Pre-School-Physical Development-Tuesday Trails
Nursery and Preschool really enjoyed their first Tuesday Trails with Mrs Corbally. The children practised putting on their wellies and coats independently and then went in our outdoor environment to explore the world outside. The children made leaf water and mixed it with the different size sticks that we found together. The children developed their gross and fine motor skills jumping in the muddy puddles and picking up the different size leaves from the fallen trees.
Reception-Phonics-S
Our Reception children have taken their exciting first step into phonics learning by exploring the 's' sound! Through fun, hands-on activities, we have enjoyed discovering objects starting with 's', practising saying the sound clearly, and tracing its shape.
Year 3 - Computing - Learning To Touch Type
Fingers at the ready! This week in Computing, Year 3 have been mastering a fantastic new skill: touch typing! Using Purple Mash, the children have been working incredibly hard to train their fingers to find the right keys without constantly looking down at the keyboard. We've been exploring the 'home keys' and discovering just how much faster we can be when we use both hands to type. It takes a lot of concentration, patience, and practice to break old habits, but Year 3 are already showing brilliant progress. Watch out—we’ve got some speedy typists in the making!
Year 3 - P.E. - Learning To Sprint and Skip
Ready, steady, go! Year 3 have been full of energy in P.E. this week as they focused on the fundamentals of sprinting and skipping. The children have been working incredibly hard on their technique, discovering how the correct posture, arm swings, and high knees can help them move faster and with better coordination. It takes a lot of focus to get the rhythm just right, but the class showed brilliant perseverance and enthusiasm throughout the lesson. It was wonderful to see such fantastic effort and sportsmanship in the hall.
Year 2 Maths - Counting in 10's on a Number Line
Year 2’s Human Number Line! Our Year 2 mathematicians took their learning to another level this week: building an interactive human number line! Starting with multiples of 10 up to 100, the children worked together to line up in the correct order. Things got extra exciting when they had to reorder themselves using different starting points. They quickly discovered that even if a number line doesn't start at zero, the pattern stays the same! Whether starting at 0, 30, or 60, the children proved that counting in 10s follows the exact same sequence—so the number 40 always comes right after 30. It was a fantastic, hands-on lesson full of teamwork and big lightbulb moments!

Year 4 P.S.H.E. - Human Machines
Year 4's P.S.H.E. topic is all about working together. This week's lesson challenged Year 4 to work as a 'Human Machine', in an effort to show collective working to complete a simple task. It was slightly trickier than expected, as some tasks were rather abstract and needed all in the group to take part and have some part in the machine process. The outcomes were pretty impressive! Year 4 demonstrated great ability to work together and become a real-life human machine!
Year 4 Science - Leaf Hunt and Classification Keys
Year 4 have been looking at, 'Living things and their Habitats' in our Science lessons. We have learnt how to group things by using classification keys and selecting relevant questions to help do this. In our Science lesson this week, we put our knowledge to the test by collecting leaves from the school grounds on a leaf hunt, and then worked in table groups to help classify the different leaves we had found.
Year 2 Art - Artists are Explorers and Collectors
Artists are Explorers and Collectors! Our Year 2 artists took their learning outdoors this week to discover how nature can be transformed into art. Inspired by artists who collect natural materials, the children explored our school grounds to gather a wonderful variety of leaves, twigs, pebbles, vibrant flowers, and berries. Working with fantastic focus, they carefully considered shape, colour, and texture to design their own temporary masterpieces. The children worked so hard on their compositions, experimenting with patterns and arrangements to bring their natural treasures to life. Take a look at the photos below to admire some of their incredible, creative artwork!

Year 3 - Art - Gestural Drawing With Charcoal
This term in art, our Year 3 class is stepping away from tiny sketches at their desks and taking on a high-energy, large-scale creative project using charcoal. Instead of just using their fingers and wrists, the children will be using their whole bodies—stretching, sweeping, and moving to create bold, dynamic marks across huge sheets of paper. By tapping into rhythm and movement, they’ll explore how different gestures create different textures and tones, and the results are looking truly extraordinary!

Year 3 - Science - Sources of Light
This term, our Year 3 mini-scientists are rolling up their sleeves and stepping into the lab to explore the fascinating world of light and shadows. We’re really focusing on practical, hands-on learning, giving the children a chance to ask big questions, test out their own ideas, and figure out how things work firsthand. It’s always a hugely popular topic, and we can’t wait to see their curiosity take off as they get stuck into some brilliant classroom experiments.
