Reception - Understanding Our World - Visiting The Chicks!
Our classroom was bursting with excitement (and a few adorable little peeps!) this week as the wonderful Reception class came to visit our newly hatched baby chicks over in Pre-School. Their little faces lit up as they carefully peered into the brooder, their eyes wide with wonder at the tiny, fluffy creatures wobbling around. We talked about how to be gentle and quiet around the chicks, and the children were so incredibly well-behaved, showing real kindness and curiosity. There were lots of "oohs" and "aahs" as the chicks cheeped and explored their temporary home. We even got to see a few brave chicks take their first tentative steps! It was a fantastic opportunity for the Reception children to learn about where food comes from, the life cycle of a chicken, and the importance of caring for living things. We answered lots of brilliant questions, from "Are they soft?" (yes, very!) to "What do they eat?" (special chick crumb, of course!). It was such a joy to share this special experience with the younger children and witness their fascination with nature.

Year 2 - Music - Pitch Doodles
Year 2 had a fun and creative music lesson, exploring pitch through "doodles" in an engaging way to visualise and understand sound. There were lots of interesting and varied lines being drawn as they listened to different pitches. What a fantastic way to make music tangible!!
Year 4 History Greek Writing
During our Greek day, we got to practise writing our names using the Greek alphabet. Some of the letters were very tricky to grow, but the results looked amazing!

Year 4 History Greek Food Tasting
Year 4 had a great experience tasting different Greek foods as part of our Greek Day in History. Some foods were delicious, not not everyone was keen on the olives!
Year 2 - English - Writing a Persuasive Letter
Year 2 certainly had a busy English lesson! The children were engaged in independently writing persuasive letters, and the topic of a zoo visit seems to have sparked some great ideas, all backed up with some great arguments for their target audience. What a fun and practical writing activity!
Year 2 - Computing - Creating Corner Pictures
The Year 2 classroom buzzed with focused energy. On their screens, vibrant shapes began to take form as the children embarked on their computing lesson; creating corner pictures. With careful clicks and drags, triangles nestled into squares and circles peeked out from behind rectangles, bringing their imaginative corner scenes to life with the power of the computer.
