Year 4 Maths - Money
Year 4 have been putting their calculation, decimal and conversion skills to the test in Maths this week, looking at money.
Pre-School- Physical Development- Outdoor Fun
In outdoor learning this week we have been creating potions exploring different textures with natural materials, flowers, herbs, looking at what sinks or floats in the water and making stirring and pouring actions. Mixing potions encourages the children's imaginative play and helps develop their language skills. The children linked to our story adding in magic jelly beans. The children used the balance bikes to develop their gross motor skills and used their skills from P.E to move around children to not bang into each other. The children have been using the tree rope to pull themselves up on the rope and swing on it, it has taken some time to build up their upper arm strength to hold themselves up on the rope. The children enjoyed using different water tools to create marks on the windows and floors and talked about the marks they created.
Nursery - Art - Frogs
Our craft activity today was to create a 3D bouncing frog! The children painted cups green, developing fine motor skills with paintbrushes. They then placed the eyes and legs onto the green base with varied approaches, with different eye and leg placements to create very different characters for their frogs, demonstrating individual creative expression. The children laughed and loved playing with their finished frogs, bouncing them up and down on the lilypads.
Online Safety -Minecraft
With its limitless opportunities for building, exploring and collaborating, Minecraft remains a global gaming phenomenon. Its broad appeal lies in how open-ended it is – but this also means it’s not without risk. From chatting with strangers on public servers to the grief of having a beloved creation destroyed, young players can face challenges if left unsupervised. Minecraft can also become a time sink for enthusiastic players, with late nights spent crafting and constructing, potentially impacting school and social lives. We’ve created this free guide to help parents and educators understand how to keep young gamers safe – from choosing age-appropriate game modes to setting boundaries around screen time and spending.
Year 2 - Art - Representing Movement
Year 2 students explored expressing emotions and movements through art in their lesson. The images show them learning how to change the positions of arms and legs when drawing stick figures to depict different actions and feelings, such as being normal, reaching, stretching, dancing/jumping, feeling scared or shocked.
Year 2 - English - We Love to Read!
Year 2 students enjoyed dedicated "Reading for Pleasure" time. The images capture the children engrossed in a variety of books, highlighting their engagement and love for reading. Each student is absorbed in their chosen story, fostering a positive reading culture within the classroom.
Pre-School- Maths- Counting And Recognising Numbers
This week in Maths the children have been developing their skills in counting to 10. The children engaged in a number game of rolling the dice and counting the dots, then matching them to the numbers on the cards. The children worked together to put the numbers in the number sequence and talked about what number came after.
Year 1 - English - Non Fiction Books
Our amazing Year 1 explorers have been on a thrilling adventure, uncovering the secrets hidden within non-fiction books! We've had so much fun becoming super-sleuths, searching for fascinating features like bold headings that tell us what we'll learn, captivating photographs that bring the world to life, and helpful captions that give us extra clues. It's been brilliant seeing their curiosity bloom as they discover new facts and information. What incredible things will they learn next?
Year 5 Fluency - Fluent in 5 Arithmetic
Through daily Fluent in 5 arithmetic sessions, Year 5 are demonstrating impressive concentration as they strive for accuracy and consistently improve their scores. Well done Year 5!
Year 5 History: Collaborative Learning Making Inferences about Photographs of the Blitz
This week in History, Year 5 delved into the devastating impact of the Blitz, specifically the relentless bombing of British cities and towns throughout 1940. They explored the vital role of air raid shelters and examined the poignant destruction of Coventry Cathedral. Through analysis of six powerful photographs depicting post-bombing ruins and people seeking refuge in shelters and the London Underground, the children made insightful inferences. They considered the emotions, sounds, sights, and smells experienced by people during those moments. This collaborative activity sparked rich discussion as they moved around the room, thoughtfully recording their observations.
Reminder: Please Send Water, Not Juice
Dear Parents and Carers, A gentle reminder to please send your child in with a bottle of water each day. While juice can seem like a convenient choice, plain water is the healthiest option and is recommended by both NHS and EYFS nutrition guidance. If your child isn’t used to drinking water, here are a few helpful tips: • Gradually water down juice, reducing the amount each day until it’s just water. • Use a fun or colourful bottle to make drinking water more exciting. • Add a slice of fruit (like lemon, orange, or cucumber) for a natural flavour boost. • Be a role model – children are more likely to drink water if they see you doing it too. Thank you for your support in helping us create a healthy and happy environment for all children.

Nursery - Maths - Big And Small
Nursery class were tasked with sorting a group of frogs by size! They were given two lily pads, one big and one small, ready for their frogs to jump onto. The children were encouraged to vocalise the size of each frog before allocating it to a corresponding lilypad. The children took different approaches during this activity, with some finding all of the small frogs first whereas other children picked up frogs at random and sorted them between big and small. The children enjoyed mimicking frog movements with the images, bouncing their frogs to the correct lily pads. Once all the frogs were sorted onto their lilypads, the children were challenged to count them! Nursery class tried really hard to number the frogs in sequence. Well done everyone!
