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 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!
Sun Safety
☀️ Sunshine at School! ☀️ Dear Parents and Carers, As the warmer weather is finally here, we're so excited for the children to enjoy some sunshine during their time at school! To make sure everyone stays happy, comfortable, and safe while they play and learn in the lovely weather, we kindly ask for your support with a few things: Sun Hats: Please ensure your child brings a sun hat to school every day. This will help protect their head and face from the sun. Sun Cream: Please apply a long-lasting sun cream to your child before they come to school in the morning. If your child needs to reapply during the day, please provide a named bottle of sun cream that they can easily manage themselves (staff can offer guidance if needed, but are unable to apply it). Weather Appropriate Clothes: Please dress your child in light, comfortable clothing that is suitable for warmer temperatures. Layers can be a good idea in case the temperature changes throughout the day. Water Bottles: It's really important that the children stay hydrated, especially when it's warm. Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school every day so they can have access to water throughout the day. We have water fountains available for refills. We absolutely love seeing the children enjoy the sunshine and make the most of the warmer days. By working together to ensure they have these essentials, we can help them stay comfortable and safe while they do so! Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our children happy and healthy.

Year 2 - Music - Exploring Pitch
In Year 2 music, we're channeling our inner Von Trapp children to explore the exciting world of pitch using scales! Just like Maria taught her family "Do-Re-Mi," we're discovering how sounds can be high or low by singing and playing simple musical ladders. Inspired by the melodies of "The Sound of Music," we're learning to hear and create our own high and low sounds, stepping up and down our musical scales to bring songs to life.
