Well, it certainly has been a busy day in Year 3.  In maths today, the children were representing numbers to a 1000.  To shows this, they were using dienes sticks and place value counters.  In science, the children conducted an experiment. They tested how different liquids affect the size of a gummy bear. We discussed what a fair test is and they made predictions about what they thought would happen. 

Thank you to everyone who came to the Year 3 parent meeting today.  Below are the class books that we will be reading and learning about this year. 

Your child now has a library book to share with you at home. Enjoy sharing this together. Our book changing day is Friday , so please make sure it is in the bookbag ready to be handed back for someone else to enjoy.

Year 6's First Week  Back! What a fantastic first week and a bit we have had in Year 6! We have already started making some wonderful memories and have been busy learning, working together and having lots of fun. In PSHE, we have been exploring what makes a positive person. We created cupcakes to represent the different ingredients that make up a whole person. Just like our cupcakes, everyone is unique, with their own special qualities and differences – and that is something to celebrate! 🧁 We have also been developing our communication and teamwork skills, learning how important it is to listen, cooperate and support one another. In PE, we have been focusing on wellbeing and developing our throwing and catching skills. We started with one ball and gradually made the challenges harder by adding more balls to our pairs and groups. It certainly tested our concentration and teamwork! It has been a brilliant start to Year 6, and we can't wait to see what comes next! 🌟 Cake Baking...

 We have had another busy week in Year 4. We have continued to learn about place value in maths and in PE, we looked at how we can be fair when playing different.

We have had an exciting and enjoyable first week in Reception! We have been coming into school with positivity and lots of smiles! Thank you to our parents for supporting the very important transition into school - It really helps us to settle and be ready for the day. We have spent the week learning new routines, making new friends, sharing, listening, waiting our turn and most importantly, having fun in our new classrooms! This week, we read the story of the smartest giant and linked this to our value of kindness.  We talked about how we can show kindness by helping others, sharing, keeping our hands and feet to ourselves and listening to others. We have also looked at the story of the Colour Monster. We explored feelings and how these may look.  We learnt that all feelings matter and how important it is to talk. Phonics - Over the past week, we have been focusing on listening using environmental and animal sounds.  We have also explored rhyme!  Next week we are v...

  Year 6 Creative Homework This term, our Year 6 pupils have been given a Creative Homework Challenge designed to encourage independence, creativity and a love of learning beyond the classroom. Rather than completing the same task each week, pupils have a choice of 10 exciting activities linked to our learning. They can decide which tasks they would like to complete and how they would like to present their ideas. This gives pupils the opportunity to take ownership of their learning and allows them to explore their own interests. Pupils are encouraged to think carefully about how they want to show their learning . They could create models, posters, games, stories, comics, fact files, maps or something completely different! The aim is not simply to produce a finished piece of work, but to research, create, problem-solve and develop ideas independently . Choice-based creative homework is also a great way for children to share their learning with their families and develop confidenc...
