Eco Ambassadors- Litter Picking Posters
Eco-Ambassadors First Meeting! 🌍 Huge congratulations to our newly voted Eco-Ambassadors, who had their very first meeting this week! Their top priority this term is tackling litter both on the school grounds and around our local community. During their meeting, the children got straight to work creating some vibrant anti-litter posters to encourage everyone to keep our school tidy. We were so impressed by their creativity and the incredible passion they showed when discussing why taking care of our environment matters so much. What a brilliant, thoughtful group of young leaders! Stay tuned to see their posters displayed around the school soon. Together, let’s help our Eco-Ambassadors keep our school green and litter-free!
Year 3 - Computing - Sending And Receiving Emails
Year 3 have been busy in computing this week, learning all about digital communication. Using 2 Email on Purple Mash, the children explored how to safely send and receive messages, practise their typing skills, and understand how email correspondence works in a controlled environment.
Year 1- Science-Using our senses
Year 1 have been using our sense of sight. We completed an activity course blindfolded. It was hard to move without being able to see.
Year 4 English - Newspaper Reporter Role Play
Year 4's current area of study is newspapers. We have been looking at the different features of newspapers and decided what better way to get in the mindset of a news writer, than to have a go at reporting ourselves? It was lots of fun - we have some Year 4's who seemed natural in their role! No doubt this experience was a great foundation for us to begin compiling our own reports.
Year 4 P.S.H.E. - Different Feelings
In P.S.H.E., Year 4 have been looking at how different feelings may affect us. As a class, we had some great discussions about how we feel can affect other areas, such as our happiness, how we interact with others, how we sleep and how we show our feelings through our body language to name a few! As you can see, Year 4 were pretty good at demonstrating how certain feelings could be represented without using words!
Year 5 PE - Gymnastics
The children explored body tension, extension, and control as they mastered their very first core position: the straddle pose. Working on the mats, pupils focused on keeping their legs straight, toes pointed, and posture strong. It was brilliant to see everyone showing such determination and flexibility as they built the foundation for more complex balances and routines.
Year 2 Music - Dynamics Performance
In this exciting music lesson, Year 2 pupils explore how changing volume—known in music as dynamics—can bring their compositions to life. Working in small groups, the children develop their own 'call and response' percussion patterns, experimenting with contrasting loud and quiet sounds to make their performances as expressive as possible. They conclude the session by performing their pieces for their classmates and sharing helpful, constructive feedback.
Year 2 Science - Guess the Lifecycle Stage!
In this lively Year 2 science lesson, the children explored life cycles through hands-on activities and play. After putting various animal life cycles into the correct order, they moved on to studying the human life cycle. Taking turns, partners picked a stage of human life and acted it out using a list of suggested actions, while their partner tried to guess which stage they were portraying. It was a fantastic, fun-filled activity that the children thoroughly enjoyed!
Year 3 - Geography - Classifying Rocks
Year 3 has been busy exploring the fascinating world of geology during their latest geography lessons. The children have been hands-on with practical investigations, carefully examining and sorting various rock samples into three distinct groups: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. By closely observing their textures, hardness, and formation clues, pupils developed a brilliant understanding of how different rocks are formed across our planet. Well done, Year 3, for your fantastic enquiry and teamwork.
Year 6 - PE - Orienteering
Ever wondered if your child could use a map and key to crack a secret code and navigate their way to victory? This week, Year 6 put their Outdoor and Adventurous Activities (OAA) skills into practice during an exciting, high-energy orienteering lesson on the school grounds. After sharpening their spatial awareness with a energetic warm-up and practicing map orientation, the children worked in small teams to interpret map symbols and locate hidden control points in a specific order. Demonstrating brilliant teamwork, honesty, and safety awareness, pupils logged each checkpoint on their control cards and successfully decoded the secret mystery word!
Year 6 - Geography - Fieldwork
Have you ever wondered how the size of a local population changes the environment on our very own doorstep? Over two action-packed geography lessons, Year 6 took their learning outdoors into the local area to investigate traffic, litter, and noise pollution across busier and quieter locations. Navigating with Ordnance Survey maps, the children collected both quantitative traffic tallies and qualitative data—listening carefully to assess noise levels and using Likert scales to judge environmental impact along their route. Back in the classroom, they carefully analysed their data sets to craft detailed fieldwork reports, complete with thoughtful suggestions on how to improve and protect our local community!
Nursery And Pre-School - Geography - Creating Witches Brooms And Potions
Inspired by this week's story, 'Room on the Broom', our children headed outside on an autumn outdoor hunt to gather natural materials and build their very own broomsticks! While searching for the perfect sticks, the children put their observational skills to work by exploring the seasonal changes happening in their local environment. They noticed that the trees were shedding their leaves onto the ground and spotted a rich new palette of autumn colors, eagerly discovering leaves in shades of brown, orange, and yellow. It was a wonderful, hands-on way to connect storytime magic with early geographical understanding and the natural rhythms of nature!
