Year 5 Geography Presentation
Year 5 have been turning into true global citizens this week during their Geography lesson. Focusing on the delicate beauty of our oceans, the children explored the powerful impact humans have on marine life and coral reefs. The class showcased some incredible skills, proving they are real experts in their field: They successfully interpreted thematic maps, identifying where coral reefs are located and tracking how ocean temperatures are shifting. From plastic pollution to the effects of climate change, the children clearly explained the various ways human activity is altering our marine environments and the negative impact this will have on us. They didn't just share facts; they inspired us all to think a little more about how we treat our blue planet.

Year 4 D.T. - Making Prototype 1
Year 4 are enjoying our D.T. topic, which is all about mechanical systems. We have been learning about different types of movement and the different components in real life moving systems. Our focus is cars! We made our own chassis and axis out of simple materials to create our first prototype car and recorded how far it travelled from an inclined plane. Year 4 cannot wait to make and test the second prototype!
Year 4 - KS2 Science Show
Did KS2 have a fantastic time during our Science Show about Electricity? Year 4 certainly did! We could apply our scientific knowledge of electricity to help reason and explain the experiments we took part in and make predictions about what might happen. It was so much fun!
Reception- Literacy- Story Time With Collette
The Reception children were treated to a wonderful storytelling session when Collette visited the school to share a special book. The classroom was filled with quiet focus as the children listened intently to the story, completely captivated by the adventure. Afterwards, Collette opened up the floor for a lively discussion, where the children eagerly answered questions and shared their favorite moments from the tale. To wrap up the exciting visit, everyone got to tap into their own creativity by making their very own "scribble monster" characters—a hands-on, messy, and thoroughly delightful end to a memorable morning of reading and imagination.

Year 1 - RE - Naming Things in Nature That are Amazing, Interesting or Puzzling.
Our Year 1 explorers were out in nature today on a special quest. As part of our RE lessons on Creation, we have been looking closely at the world around us and naming things that we find amazing, interesting, or puzzling. From the intricate patterns on a leaf to the vast, changing shapes of the clouds, our children have been full of wonder and curiosity about the natural world.
Reception- Class Worship- Worship with Jack
The children have enjoyed having class worship with Jack this week. Developing their understanding of Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit. Jack our puppet told the story and we used resources to interact, working in pairs to share thoughts and feelings. How we can be mindful of others feelings and help others like Jesus did.
Nursery/Pre-School-Continuous Provision-Independent Learning
This week in Nursery and Pre-School, the children have been super excited exploring our learning environment. We have added some new areas in the nursery; we now have a 'baby station' where children can wash the babies, dry them, and get them dressed. On our Funky Fingers table, we have a World Cup football match! The children use their fine motor skills to flick their player to the ball and score goals. They have absolutely loved playing as England footballers.
Year 2 RE: Symbols of the Holy Spirit
Year 2 have blown us away with their thoughtful depictions of the Holy Spirit. After applying their knowledge of symbolism in bible stories, they created oil pastel art of the 3 symbols of the Holy Spirit: the dove, fire and wind.
Year 3 - Geography - Using Ordnance Survey Maps
Our Year 3 explorers swapped their textbooks for OS maps and compasses this afternoon, turning the classroom into a hub of navigation and discovery! As part of their geography learning, the children have been mastering the four cardinal points—North, South, East, and West—and putting their new skills to the test. Here is what our mini-explorers got up to: Finding North: Learning how to hold a compass steady and watching the needle magically align. Cracking the Code: Deciphering Ordnance Survey map symbols to locate everything from churches and campsites to forests and rivers.
