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.

Online Safety - Making Friends Online
As technology becomes increasingly embedded in young people’s lives, it’s common for them to form friendships entirely online. These connections can provide companionship and community — but they also bring potential dangers that parents and educators need to be aware of. From online grooming and privacy breaches to exposure to upsetting content, meeting people on the internet isn’t without risk. This guide explains the possible hazards of online friendships and gives parents and educators essential advice on helping children build safe, positive relationships online.
Year 1 Computing - Using Coding Blocks To Make A Set of Instructions
Year 1 began a new unit on Coding to introduce them into the world of programming. They used fish as objects and arrows as actions. They matched the objects with the actions and talked about what would happen.
Nursery - Earth Day
Today is Earth Day! To commemorate this day our activity was based on how we look after our world! During this activity, the children demonstrated a clear understanding of where rubbish belongs. When rubbish was scattered in our clean classroom the children pointed and expressed that it needed to go in the bin! Their immediate reaction and verbalisation show strong expressive language skills. The children then worked together to collect and dispose of all the rubbish that had been planted in the classroom, using brilliant observation skills to find every piece of rubbish. At the craft table, the children selected pieces of blue and green tissue paper and attempted to stick them onto the paper using PVA glue. They initially struggled with spreading the glue but persevered, using their index finger to dab and spread it, showing developing fine motor skills. The children made links with the blue area being water and some children made links with animals that they might see living in the water. At the malleable table, the children manipulated the blue and green playdough, using a pinching action to pull off small pieces and moulding them together. When asked what they were making, they replied, "Earth!" Their manipulation of the playdough using pinching, rolling, and splatting showcases developing gross and fine motor skills.
Reception - Maths - Numbers to 13
Look at our amazing Reception superstars working hard in maths! We’ve been learning all about the numbers 11, 12 and 13 using colourful counters and ten frames. The children loved exploring the numbers in fun and practical ways – so much concentration and teamwork going on! What a great way to build those early number skills!
