Ruth and Sutty from Bible Explorers returned today to tell us more stories from the Old Testament. We practised the symbols from last time and heard about the stories of Moses and Joseph. We found them really exciting…

Last week, in our RE lesson Year 4 wrote some prayers. We had all put a named heart or star on our prayer tree and we switched off the lights so we could see the lights on the tree and our lighted candle. We wrote prayers, praising God for our wonderful world, thanking God for our fabulous friends…

This week, we welcomed Naomi St. John into our class to help us design and create multi-layered prints which will eventually become our Christmas cards. Having created our basic designs and transferred them onto polystyrene tiles, we learnt how to ink them and print our designs onto coloured…

We had the electrical buzzers in fencing this week.

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…

This week in Science, Year 6 explored faults in circuits and how to repair them!

The children started the session by working together in teams to create human circuits, that would only allow the electrons (tennis balls) to flow when they were fully connected (feet to feet!). As we became more…

Today, the 11th November, we all stopped and gathered in the hall at 11 o’clock to remember the people who have died in wars both in the past and in ongoing conflicts. Following our two minutes of silence, Year 6 recited three verses of the poem “For the Fallen”, which they have been learning in…

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…

Today, we were eating pizza! We had to decide which nutrients were in each slice first though.

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