Nursery - Computing - Creating Spinning Snail Shells
The nursery class enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to further develop their digital literacy skills by navigating the draw function on Purple Mash. With focused concentration, the two-year-olds explored the tools and experimented with creating lines and shapes. A clear objective was the creation of a spiraling snail shell, and it was fascinating to observe the diverse approaches children took to achieve this. Some children made deliberate, circular motions, carefully building their spirals from a central point outwards. Others experimented with more free-flowing lines, gradually curving them to suggest the spiral form. Throughout the activity, children demonstrated increasing confidence in using the digital drawing tools, readily clicking and dragging to bring their artistic visions to life. There was a palpable sense of pride and accomplishment as they showcased their finished snail shells, highlighting their growing digital proficiency and creative expression.

Year 6 Grammar - Semicolons.
This week year 6 are focussing on using semicolons to separate two independent clauses. We have been working on this following the I-Model structure, and hopefully will see some correct examples in their upcoming independent writing.
Year 1 - PSHE - Valuing Differences
Year 1 watched videos about Derek the penguin and his friends. They discovered that people can be friends and celebrate each other's differences. Then, we had circle time. We talked about the different foods we like and the different games we like to play. We decided that it's the differences in us that make us all unique and that is a good thing. Life would be boring if we were all the same!
Year 1 - Geography - Finding The Seven Continents
Wow! A great lesson learning about the seven continents of the world. The children played interactive games on the IWB and used a huge map of the world to place the name cards of the seven continents correctly. The children explored the Atlases and found the seven continents. They also learned that each continent is made up of several countries and that the U.K is located in Europe. Great work Year 1!
Pre School -Mark Making - The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The children used different media to make marks to represent parts of the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Some children drew pictures of what they could recall from our story, some created caterpillars using paint and dabbers and others painted symmetrical butterflies by painting half of their butterfly and folding their picture in half.
Reception - PE - Ball Skills
In today’s PE session, our EYFS children focused on developing their ball control skills through a fun and active series of activities. We explored rolling, catching, throwing, and aiming for a target — key movements that help build coordination, balance, and focus. The children practiced rolling balls to partners with careful control, ensuring they could send and receive accurately. We then moved on to catching and throwing activities, encouraging the use of two hands for control and promoting good hand-eye coordination. To make things even more exciting, we introduced aiming for a target — giving the children the chance to practice throwing with purpose. Whether it was knocking over cones or hitting a coloured spot, everyone showed great enthusiasm and concentration! It was wonderful to see the children’s confidence grow throughout the lesson. Well done, everyone — brilliant teamwork, focus, and effort!
Reception - Maths - Building Numbers to 14
Today, our Reception children were busy becoming number experts! We practiced counting all the way to 20 — and back again — with lots of claps, jumps, and smiles along the way. Next, we used our clever ‘10 and _ more’ model to build numbers to 14. The children impressed us with how they grouped 10 and then added the extra ones — real maths superstars! To finish, we explored odd and even numbers, discovering which numbers like to pair up and which ones are left out. Such amazing thinking and teamwork today — Reception, you are maths champions!
Nursery - Science - Chicks! Enrichment Lesson
This week we have had some very tiny visitors in nursery, 4 chicks! During the visit from the chicks the children showed significant interest in the new arrivals. They spent a considerable amount of time observing the chicks in their enclosure, pointing and using a variety of nouns to describe their actions, "eating " while watching a chick peck at food, "drinking" as one dipped its beak into the water, and "running" as they moved quickly around their space. When given the opportunity to gently hold a chick, the children approached with caution but followed instructions to use "kind hands and quiet voices. They stroked the chick's head gently with one finger, maintaining a quiet voice as prompted. This demonstrates developing self-regulation in managing their own behaviour and understanding the need to be gentle with living things. We discussed the life cycle of the chicks, the children recalled that the chicks came out of an egg and we spoke about what the chicks would look like when they grow. The children found the chicken out of a group of farm animals and linked this with the growth that we would see!
