Year 1 are exploring structures this term. We are working to answer ‘How can you stop a tower from toppling over?’  We are investigating what needs to be in place so that a structure can remain standing on its own. We created some freestanding structures using different materials to explore and…

Year 2 started their coding unit by exploring the concept of  variables. They worked in small groups to test a number of materials to see if they float or sink. They used what they had observed to input the data in to the variables record sheet.

Year 3 had a fantastic time consolidating and learning about the Stone Age to the Iron Age. They had great fun taking part in axe making, copper art engraving, timeline construction, studying artefacts, Hunter gathering, making fire, examining poo and animal skulls.

In Reception the children have been making rockets using different 3D shapes and joining them together. We talked about what things we might see in space and how a rocket would get there. We have been reading the story, William Bee’s Wonderful world of things that go! We looked at how a space…

Year 5 have been studying the artist Hundertwasser and how he created abstract paintings. They learnt that abstract painting is to represent people or things not in a realistic way but to express their ideas about them in their own way. Using this method they created their own Hundertwasser…

Year 2 are currently learning about 2D shapes. Today they have been exploring how to use a ruler to draw shapes then they spent some time exploring how to make shapes using a geoboard on the iPads. They had great fun seeing how many different representations of shapes they could make.

Each term our children draw their own self portraits. We then display them on top of their old one in class to show how much progress they make each term. The children draw their features such as eyes, hair, ears and teeth. 
 

To celebrate our fabulous nativity play and winning the attendance for this term we had a Christmas party in Reception. We played some party games, such as musical chairs, bumps, statues and pass the parcel. We also danced and had some party treats. Merry Christmas! 
 

On Friday it was Christmas Jumper Day! Everyone in Nursery came to school dressed in their most festive Christmas outfit! 
We also had a very special visitor in school. Santa came to visit all our children and he brought with him a very special treat - a chocolate selection box! 
We loved…
