Year 4 Music - Making The Sounds Of A Rain Storm
Year 4 music students brought the sounds of a rainstorm to life! After watching an orchestra video that demonstrated how to create rain effects using only their hands, the class worked in groups. They began slowly and quietly, gradually building the intensity and speed of the storm with actions like finger clicks, claps, and jumping. The piece progressed from a gentle shower to a loud, quick downpour.
Year 2 - RE - The Torah
In RE, we explored the Torah scrolls, the holiest Jewish religious text. We learned that the Torah is handwritten and contains the Ten Commandments from the word of God. Because the scroll cannot be touched directly, readers use a special pointer called a Yad to follow the text.
Year 2 - Science - Life Processes
Our Science lesson was all about the 6 things that keep us alive! We couldn't believe it when we found out that even plants move—like sunflowers turning or roots growing! To share what we learned, we split into teams to make a special show-and-tell about each process.
Nursery - Geography - Leaf Hunt
Inspired by our story this week, the nursery class embarked on a fascinating leaf hunt outdoors. The children immediately observed that the ground was covered in a thick layer of leaves, which sparked a natural geographical discussion: "Why are the leaves on the ground?" and "Where did they come from?" This curiosity led to a key observation about seasonal change. The children looked up and noticed that the trees, which had been full of leaves, were now largely bare. This visible change from leaves on the tree to leaves on the ground provided a concrete lesson in the cycle of nature and the concept of where materials originate. We then searched enthusiastically for leaves of different colours, shapes, and sizes, carefully collecting them to use as natural resources for our other work taking place in class. This hands-on exploration linked observation of the local environment directly to classroom learning.
Pre-School-Maths-Positional language
This week in Maths the children have been looking at different positional language. Using a teddy and a box the children had to place teddy in different positions when instructed.
Pre-School- PD-Glow In The Dark Dodgeball
Last half term the children had the opportunity to take part in Glow in the dark Dodgeball. The children had the best time learning new skills to help them play dodgeball, whilst glowing up in the dark.

Year 2 - English - Independent Write
What a fantastic way to wrap up the half term! Year 2 has completely immersed themselves in writing an independent story inspired by the beautiful book, The Way Home for Wolf. Before putting pen to paper, the children researched different animals to weave into their tales and crafted brilliant plans to guide them through the writing process. This preparation paid off, as Mrs. Cookson was absolutely blown away by the huge improvement in writing stamina the class demonstrated. She is incredibly proud of their dedication and can't wait to curl up and read their imaginative final stories!
Year 2 - Art - Autumn Leaves
Year 2 have successfully wrapped up their Explore and Draw art unit! To finish, the children created stunning pictures of autumn leaves using an exciting technique. They first drew the detailed leaf shapes and veins with wax crayons and then painted over the entire piece with watercolors. The magic happened when the paint didn't stick to the crayon, creating a beautiful wax-resist effect that makes the vibrant crayon drawings pop against the watercolor background. The finished artwork looks absolutely amazing and truly captures the beauty of the season!
