This week in Year 1's RE lesson, we looked at God's creation and how it is being spoiled by the actions of people. We talked about how we have choices to make everyday, some of which help the world and others that actually harm it.

The children set to work and cleared 'the beach' of litter,…

Today we used the ten frames to practise quite a tricky but very important skill in maths.  We were learning to use ten to add numbers.  This means that instead of using our fingers to calculate 6 + 7, we used our number bonds to make the sum 6 + 4 + 3.  As we know 6 + 4 = 10 already, we only have…

Today we have followed a simple map to find a new toy for Nursery. We have used lots of directional language. The children were very good at looking for clues on each photo to find the next place to look. 

In science, we have been investigating the question ‘Which solids dissolve in water?’ We mixed a variety of solids with water to find out, then we tried to retrieve the original solid by filtering them using a funnel and filter paper and recorded the results. We used different scientific…

We followed instructions to make a raspberry and banana smoothie for Mrs Walsh! She thought it was delicious! 

Look at the amazing detail on these beautiful sparkler pictures.

Just a few of the fabulous self portraits that we’ve been creating recently.  As you can see we have been using lots of different media to colour them in.

This week we did an art project inspired by Bonfire Night.  We worked in teams to create a bonfire collage.
