Year 5 joined the Communion Service in Church this week. We wrote and spoke our own prayers, which Rev Kevin Colyer described as 'very deep and heartfelt' prayers. Well done Year 5! Tristan did a reading from Hebrews and spoke very well. We all enjoyed the service, and also enjoyed having our lunch at church!

Nursery - Music - Identifying Different Instrument Sounds
During our Listening and attention lesson the children have been identifying different sounds. First we learnt the names of the instruments and how to play them, listening to the sounds that each instrument made. The children then used their brilliant listening skills to identify a hidden instrument just by the sound it made! In our busy classroom this was a little bit tricky but the children did a great job and were able to distinguish between the environmental sounds and the target instrument sound. They then mimicked the sound they heard on the corresponding instrument on their side of the barrier. Well done Nursery class!
Year 6: Residential
During our residential trip we were lucky enough to try the zip line! Everyone pushed themselves to overcome their fears and have a go. Year 6 should be very proud of themselves.
Year 4 English - Drama
In English, we got to act as the characters Gulliver and Fig to help us understand them - it was lots of fun!

Reception - History - Past and Present Transport
This week, the children have been engaged in exploring different types of transport from the past and present. They observed and discussed various photos, identifying key features and comparing how transport has changed over time. During the discussions, the children showed curiosity and enthusiasm. Some noticed that the older transport images looked “smoky” and suggested that the vehicles might have rust. They eagerly shared their thoughts on how transport has evolved, making connections to their own experiences. Many children excitedly talked about different types of transportation they had used, such as cars, buses, trains, and airplanes. As they examined the photos, they compared similarities and differences, such as the shapes, materials, and designs of past and present vehicles. This led to meaningful conversations about why transport has changed and how it affects our daily lives. To extend their learning, the children explored models of transport, carefully observing details and expressing their ideas through drawings and writing. They shared their thoughts and feelings about different types of transport, demonstrating an increasing awareness of history and technological progress. Overall, the activity sparked rich discussions and deepened the children’s understanding of transport over time, encouraging them to think critically and make personal connections to the topic.
Reception - Colour Mixing
Today, the children continued their exploration of colour mixing, incorporating a bit of science into their learning. They used spray bottles filled with water to spray onto tissue paper, observing how the water caused the colours to run and blend. As the colours transferred onto the plain paper underneath, the children were fascinated by the patterns and mixes that appeared. Throughout the activity, the children engaged in discussions about the different colours they could see and how they changed when mixed together. They expressed excitement and curiosity as they observed the effects of the water on the tissue paper. Many children took pride in their artwork, eagerly sharing their creations with others. This hands-on experience encouraged creativity, scientific thinking, and exploration of colour mixing in an engaging and interactive way.
