Reception - Working Scientifically- Incy Wincy Spider
This morning a group of children took part in an experiment! We needed to select a good material to make a roof so that Incy-Wincy spider would stay dry and cosy in this wet and soggy weather. Firstly we inspected each material, the children had a very good look and they also felt the materials before making their predictions. They all had a good knowledge and some good ideas as to why certain materials would or would not keep Incy-Wincy dry. Then we put out predictions to the test! We worked as a team to hold the different materials tight and steady, then took turns to pour the water on top. The children really enjoyed seeing how the water moved and settled on the different materials. We found some very good materials that would definitely keep Incy-Wincy spider nice and dry!
Y1 DT - Textiles
Year One are creating their own fabric strip creations for us to weave next week. We have used glitter, fabric pens and oil pastels.
Year 5 DT - Biscuit Recipes
We have had a very busy morning in Year 5 completing our food topic in DT. This term the children have been researching, comparing and designing biscuit recipes for Willy Wonka! They have tested biscuits, compared recipes and researched fairtrade products we could use before designing our final product. Today, the children worked together to bake chocolate chip biscuits which they then decorated and devoured!
Y2 Spirituality Day
For Spirituality Day, Year 2 learned about the Taizé cross. The Taizé cross is covered with a collage of different people for whom Christ died, and Jesus is often in the centre. The children designed their own cross before looking at the parable of The Great Feast. After learning about this parable, they thought about what kind of qualities they would like in people and what sort of menu they would draw up for their ideal party.
Year 6 Easter Craft
Year 6 had a lovely Easter craft day on Monday. In the morning they were making Easter gardens and in the afternoon they painted rocks with words to show how even the rocks sang out praise to Jesus.
Rev Kev Visits Y2 - The Last Supper
Rev Kev visited school on Monday to talk to the children about the Last Supper and linked this to The Eucharist. The children had the opportunity to taste some (unblessed) bread. They also asked and answered questions in detail showing him just how hard we have worked on our Easter unit.
Explorers Exhibition - Reception Class Visit
Throughout today, Reception class have been in small groups to visit our 'Explorers Exhibition' that was kindly set up by Mrs Thompson. The children have thoroughly enjoyed looking at the different items and learning about some of the more obscure objects. The children had some very good ideas and opinions about the items set out. Ask them about some of their favourite pieces of exploration equipment or memorabilia when they get home.

Two’s Room Fun
In the two’s room the children have been exploring puzzles and patterns. Using the play dough to make mini beasts and using their imagination to role play in the house making tea for their friends.
Pre School - Spring and Mini Beasts!
This week the children have been exploring Spring and mini beasts. Today we have been planting seeds to watch them grow. The children added soil and seeds into their pots and then we discussed what the seeds will need to grow. The children were aware that they needed the sun and water to help them. We are excited to watch them grow over the next few weeks. We will keep you updated.
Y2 Science Living/Non Living Things
This week in Science, Y2 have been sorting images under the headings alive, once alive and never alive. The children placed the images where they thought then we had a really interesting discussion about different objects. For example how the bunch of flowers were once alive but aren't once they are picked and how the ball of wool was once alive on a sheep. The children then re-looked at their images and sorted them in their groups again.
Year 6 - SPAG Afternoon
