Year 3 - Science - The Mummification Process
Today, our young historians took a deep dive into Ancient Egypt by learning all about the fascinating process of mummification. From understanding the ritual steps to learning about the purpose of canopic jars, the children were absolutely captivated. Safe to say, we have some future archaeologists in our midst. Check out our little embalmers in action in the photos below.
Year 4 Art - 3D Sculpture Painting
Year 4 have been working really hard during their art topic, learning about sculptures, the plinths they stand on and the famous artists associated with these types of display. After weeks of creating a 3D sculpture of an Anglo-Saxon warrior, it was a pleasure to see them come to life during our painting session. Year 4 are rather proud of their efforts!
Reception- UTW- Interactive Board Drawing For A Purpose
Our Reception children have had a wonderful time using Purple Mash this week to bring the story of Handa's Surprise to life! Using the 2Paint tools, the children practiced their fine motor skills to carefully select vibrant colors and draw something from the story. Selecting different colours to draw fruit or animals. It was fantastic to see them navigate the software so confidently, practicing their clicking and dragging while retelling the story with so much enthusiasm.
Year 2 PE: Writing Yoga Stories
Year 2 have been using this half-term's yoga learning to create their own yoga flow in the form of yoga stories. Using previously learnt yoga poses, the children created story maps to sequence their flow. Some of the yoga stories included "hungry lions", "seals trapped on boats" and "very calm butterflies". Miss Mulligan was incredibly impressed with the creativity and leadership skills Year 2 showed during this lesson!
Nursery/Preschool-R.E-David And Goliath-Role Play
This week in Nursery/Pre-school the children have had an exciting time exploring and acting the story of David and Goliath. The children loved playing different parts of role play such as Goliath the giant, David the young boy, King Saul and Soldiers. The children got straight into character and played their role amazingly.
Year 2 History: Comparing Monarchs
During this week's history, Year 2 have been comparing two very different monarchs: William the Conqueror and King Charles III. After discussing the qualities of both monarchs, Year 2 voted on which features they believe make a good monarch such as fairness and bravery. Then, everyone designed their perfect monarch and decided if they would be more like William the Conqueror or King Charles III! What qualities would your perfect monarch have?
Year 1 and 2 trip to Imagine That!
Year 1 and 2 had an amazing trip to Imagine That! in Liverpool on Monday. From imaginative play to slime making, science experiments to magical snow, the day was jam packed with fun and excitement for everyone - including the teachers! Well done Year 1 and 2 for your incredible behaviour and amazing curiosity that you showed throughout the day.
Year 5 - PE - Badminton
Game, Set, Match! Our Year 5 athletes brought the heat to the court today for our final Get Set 4 PE badminton session! It was the perfect end to the unit as the pupils combined their footwork, grip, and tactical thinking into some high-energy competitive matches. We were so impressed by: Perseverance: Keeping those rallies going even when the pressure was on! Precision: Some truly fantastic serving to start the points strong. Sportsmanship: Cheering on teammates and officiating with fairness. Seeing all those skills click into place during match play was the highlight of the term. Way to go, Year 5!
Reception - Literacy- Fruit Tasting To Develop Vocabulary
We had a brilliant sensory morning diving headfirst into the vibrant world of Handa’s Surprise. To bring the story to life, the children took part in a fruit taste test. From sweet, juicy pineapple to tangy oranges, watching their expressions with every bite was absolutely priceless. This hands-on experience sparked a fantastic carpet discussion, where we explored new vocabulary like delicious and tangy. I was so proud to see the children enthusiastically head back to their tables to use these rich descriptive words in their independent writing.
Year 6: English - Active Learning
This week we have been trying to include aspects of active learning during our usual lessons. We used different coloured cones in English to pair up with people we don't usually work with! It was a great strategy to get the students moving, and working with different people.
Year 6: History - The Sikh Empire
This week in history year 6 analysed a variety of sources, to gain a historical perspective of how Ranjit Singh was seen at the time of the Sikh Empire. We spoke about the 5 'Rs' and discussed how reliable different sources may be.
Year 3 - R.E. - Learning About Mother Teresa
Year 3 have been diving deep into Religious Studies this week, exploring how personal faith has the power to change history. The children have been focusing on the life of Mother Teresa, looking closely at how her deep beliefs transformed her from a young teacher into a globally recognised symbol of compassion. Through their lessons, the pupils investigated how her faith gave her the courage to leave her comfortable life behind to serve the poorest communities in Calcutta. The class had some fantastic discussions about how inner convictions can drive people to make a lasting difference in the world, prompting the children to reflect on their own values and how they can show kindness in their daily lives.
