Year 1- History walk
In history this afternoon we went on a walk to see the Steam Tram Turning Triangle. It was one of the first steam trams to open in the whole country during the Victorian times. We are currently learning about inventions in the Victorian times in our local area.
Year 2 - Odd and even number games
During our maths sessions we have been looking at multiplication and division and we have been exploring the relationship between odd and even numbers throughout our topic. The children explored the differences and put their knowledge into practice with a challenge game of odd and even snakes and ladders.
Year 1 Measuring Using Non-standard Measures
Year 1 have been measuring classroom objects using non-standard measures today which included dienes, cubes and counters. They compared the results when they all measured their exercise books with different non-standard methods too. On Friday we will move onto measuring using centimetres (standard units).

Reception- Continuous Provision- The Royal Family
This week the children have been learning all about the royal family. During continuous provision the children haven carrying out different activities in our areas which are all linked to the royal family. We have been painting King Charles in the painting area, we’ve had Buckingham palace and a London scene set up in the small world area, we have been building Buckingham palace in the construction area and we have been making cakes for a royal afternoon tea in the malleable area. We have been really interested in asking and answering lots of questions about the royal family.
Year 1- Computing
In computing this week Year 1's task was to make a wanted poster using the iPads. They had to create their own character and type up what their character was wanted for.
Year 5- Orienteering- Battle
The rain wasn't going to stop the Year 5 class from their last orienteering session. The children had to use their orienteering map to visit a series of control spots. They checked their answers by using the specified letters from the control markers. They all followed instructions correctly and competed fairly.
Year 5 - Class Worship - Community
Today for class worship we looked at our British Values of tolerance and respect. We discussed our roles in the community and what we may have done to help others. We looked at how the community in Turkey and Syria have come together after the tragic events of the earthquake to ensure children are still able to go to school.
Year 5- Science- Exploring factors which affect an object's ability to resist water
This afternoon in science the children learnt that water resistance is a force which prevents an object from moving easily through the water. We tested whether air resistance or water resistance is stronger by dropping different shapes of clay, from the same height through water and the air.
Year 4 - Science: Writing Scientific Questions for an Enquiry
This week we have been learning to ask scientific questions. We voted in our groups for the question on which we wanted to base our investigations.
Year 3 Science - Forces and Magnets
Year 3 have been making predictions on magnet forces, considering the position of both bar and horseshoe magnets to see if they will then repel or attract. Once they made their predictions they worked in small groups to conduct their experiments and report their results. We discovered magnets are a non contact force. Excellent work Year 3!
Reception- Muddy Monday
We have had a lovely muddy Monday out in the sunshine. The children were looking at signs of spring on our walk around our school today. The children used a checklist to find all sorts of things we may see in spring. The children were also looking through cloud detectors to see which type of clouds were visible today. The children decided it was the cumulonimbus clouds they could see.
