Pre-School-P.S.H.E-What Does Our Body Need?-Making Fruit Kebabs
This week in P.S.H.E pre-school have been looking at - what our bodies need. The children had a good understanding of the food our bodies need and understand that exercise helps us to keep our bodies fit and healthy. The children then made their own fruit kebabs selecting the fruits they like and placing them on a kebab stick before enjoying eating their kebabs.
Year 5 English - Beowulf
Our study of the legendary poem, Beowulf, has successfully inspired Year 5 to embark on writing their own heroic tales. Following the narrative structure of the original, students devoted today's lesson to deep design and planning. They used a combination of imaginative thinking, name generators, and online image searches to meticulously create and describe the key components of their legends: the vivid settings, the noble heroes, and the terrifying monsters.
Nursery - Art - History - Poppy Creations
Today's lesson provided a meaningful introduction to the concept of Remembrance through a creative and collaborative Art activity, linking to an important moment in history. The children accessed the craft area to explore the poppy, a key symbol of remembrance. They used simple, sensory resources—red glue and red tissue paper—to create their own beautiful poppies. To mark the occasion, the children also participated in a challenging exercise during snack time: observing and taking part in a two-minute silence. While this was tricky for our youngest learners, they made a fantastic effort to maintain quiet and stillness. To further extend the theme of community and remembrance, we collaborated with the preschool children to create a handprint wreath. This collective piece of art will be placed at our school's adopted war memorial grave, providing a tangible way for the children to contribute to an important tradition of respect and memory.
Year 3 - Science - Recognising The Main Bones In The Body
This week, Year 3 explored the amazing world inside us during our science lesson on the human body! The children worked like scientists to recognise and identify the main bones in the human skeleton. They learned where the cranium (skull), rib cage, and femur (thigh bone) were located and what important jobs they did.
Year 3 - Design Technology - Evaluating Seasonal Foods
This week, Year 3 explored the wonderful world of seasonal food! We acted like food critics and evaluated three fresh ingredients: asparagus, radish, and spring onion. We tasted each food and discussed its texture, smell, and flavour. We then decided which ingredient worked best for a seasonal tart. The children used fantastic descriptive words to explain their choices.
Reception - Class Worship - Moses
This week in our Reception class worship, we learned about Moses and how he showed compassion and trust in God. We listened to the story of how Moses helped the Israelites and trusted God to guide him, even when things were difficult. The children talked about what it means to care for others and to have faith, just like Moses did. We thought about times when we can show compassion — by helping a friend, sharing, or being kind. To finish, we said a short prayer together, thanking God for people who care for us and asking for courage to trust Him, just like Moses.
Nursery - Maths - Quantity
This week's Maths lesson was inspired by the children's spontaneous interest in farm animals, leading to an engaging, tactile farm set-up in our malleable tray. Immersed in play, the children were naturally drawn to the animals and successfully made connections between the animals and the sounds they made, mooing for a cow, oinking for a pig. While enjoying this imaginative play, they were also building crucial number language and quantity skills. We saw great examples of early counting, with some children counting the animals in each pasture. They worked hard to follow requests that required them to retrieve a specific quantity, such as the instruction, "Can I have two pigs?" This hands-on activity provided a fantastic, concrete way for the children to link abstract numbers to real-world objects.
Year 6: P.E - Dodgeball
This half term year 6 are working on the skills and tactics needed to improve their dodgeball performance. We are focussing on playing small team games, with an emphasis on accurate throwing towards a moving target. L.O: To hit a moving target.
Year 6: English - Analysing a Classic Text
In English lessons, we have been analysing the language features and grammatical techniques used in an extract of our classic text 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Pre-School-Expressive Art And Design-Making Skeletons
On the workshop table, the children have been busy creating their own skeletons. They used cotton buds to represent the bones and practised their gluing and sticking skills to assemble their designs. This activity was a fun way to help them see what our bodies look like beneath the skin and to understand that everyone has a skeleton.
Year 4 Science - Sound and Vibrations
Year 4 experimented with different sounds in this week's Science lesson, finding out what varies different aspects of sound, such as volume and pitch. It was a very noisy lesson, but lots of fun and learning took place throughout the different activities!
Year 6: Maths - Fractions
In maths year six have been learning how to add and subtract fractions with different denominators. They have focused on finding the LCM to solve calculations. L.O: To add and subtract fractions.
