Pre-School- Physical Development- Making Marks
In Pre-School we have been developing our mark making skills in class, using letter join and write dance to support our movements in the rice. Using our finger to mark swirls, rainbow, lines, figure of 8 and many more. The children have the freedom to see marks made in a different way instead of on paper.
Year 1 - Computing - Animated Story Books
In Year 1, we've been on an amazing adventure, bringing our favourite stories to life! We learned all about animated storybooks and added super cool sounds to them. Get ready to hear our characters giggle, monsters roar, and the wind whisper through the trees! It's been so much fun making our stories sing!
Year 5 English: Planning a Narrative based on Journey to the River Sea
Our Year 5 English lessons have been brought to life by the captivating narrative of Eva Ibbotson's Journey to the River Sea. Students have been diligently planning their unique, innovated stories, drawing inspiration from the novel's themes and adventures. We are excited to see these creative narratives unfold as they begin their writing journey this week.
Year 4 Class Novel
Year 4 enjoy their Class Novel time and have been so engrossed in this half terms' narrative, 'The Elsewhere Emporium,' by Ross Mackenzie. It is the sequel to the book we completed in the previous term and Year 4 can't wait to find out what will happen in the next stages of the adventure. Lots of predictions are being made as to what will happen - we hope it will be a happy ending!
Year 2 English
Our children have been developing their understanding of key grammar concepts! They've been actively learning to define statements, nouns, and adjectives, and confidently giving their own examples. Using microphones helped them practice articulating their knowledge clearly, reinforcing their learning in a fun and engaging way."
Year 5 English: Roleplays - Journey to the River Sea
Year 5's English lessons have been brought to life by Eva Ibbotson's captivating novel, Journey to the River Sea. Students explored characterisation through a dynamic role-play, recreating Maia's significant first encounter with the twins. They focused intently on using their actions and facial expressions to communicate the characters' emotional states. Following this, they independently crafted compelling letters from Maia's point of view, sharing her Amazonian adventures and personal feelings with her friends back in England.
Year 6: English
Year 6 have been writing a story opening, which creates tension and builds atmosphere for the reader. We focussed on including action, dialogue and description as a hook to grab the reader's attention immediately. L.O: To write an effective opening to a narrative (modelled write).
Nursery - Literacy - Fine Motor Skills
This week, our two-year-olds put their fine motor skills to the test with a fun lion-themed challenge! The children were tasked with creating a magnificent lion's mane using clothes pegs. This was a fantastic way to strengthen those little hand muscles! Some of our children focused on the crucial first step, diligently practising just squeezing the pegs open and closed. This action is vital for developing hand strength and coordination. Others, ready for the next challenge, skillfully navigated the pegs onto the lion's face, carefully attaching them to form a spiky, mane. It was wonderful to see each child working at their own pace, developing essential skills that will help them with everything from holding a pencil to buttoning their coats. Our little learners showed great determination and focus.
