Year 6 have been very busy with our iCompute work this term... We have been creating our own 'pong' style games using Scratch by writing, testing and debugging our coding. We've learned to analyse pre-exisiting code from other games so that we understand what each element of the code does within…

Today we welcomed Rachael from St. John’s Hospice into school to present her with a cheque for £783. We raised this money from our “Readathon” which actually took place before lockdown. At last we have been able to invite her into school to find out what the money will be spent on. She explained…

Year 4 have been designing and making chairs. We made a variety of test chairs to see which materials were good to use. Next we designed a chair for a teddy or book character in our sketch books. Finally, we had a fun afternoon making our finished product.

In literacy, we have been reading the story ‘The Way Home For Wilf’. Today we acted parts of the story and the rest of us had to guess which bit we were doing.  Our acting was so good everyone could guess which bit we were doing!

Our good friend, Debbie Green, came into class today to teach us all about the books of the bible.  It was lovely to see her again and we learnt a lot!

Intra-sports across year groups is finally back, and boy, did we come back with a bang!

In Reading, Year 6 are working with the book, 'Stay Where You Are and Then Leave' by John Boyne. For the first chapter, we decided to bring the story to life by acting out the scene where Dad, George, returns to the house wearing his new Army Uniform. In this scene, his family realise that George…

We thought of questions using our question hand to ask “ Harry the Happy Mouse”. We enjoyed being the different characters and listening to how they felt. 

Continuing to explore our senses, today we investigated our sense of smell. We predicted what we thought the smell was and then we revealed the actual. It was good fun predicting ! 

It is lovely to be enjoying time outside together again and Year 5 are doing a great job acting as Reading Buddies to the younger children. They are available each lunchtime play to help the infants choose and read books from the outdoor “book shed”.

Today we went on a field trip to gather information for making our own maps of the local area.  We noted down all the different things we walked past on our trip to Dorrington Field.  We tried to draw rough sketches of our journey on the way, but it was not always easy to know which direction we…
