Reception- Literacy- creating our own houses for the colour monster
This week the children have been learning all about the colour monster and that each monster represents a different feeling. The children created their own house for a colour monster of their choice and created a special key which unlocked the colour monsters house and realised that feeling.
Reception- The Colour Monster
This week we have been reading the book ‘the colour monster’ the children have been super busy enjoying this weeks activities in our areas. The children have been using their fine motor skills to create a mosaic colour monster on the light board, they have been painting their own monster in the painting area, collaging a colour monster of their choice using different materials in the creative area and traced the outline of a monster and decorated their own monster using different writing techniques in the writing area. We have had a super busy week so far!

Year 4 - RE: What is Prayer?
This half term, the Year 4s are on a RE quest to discover what prayer is. We began by studying images of people around the world from different faiths praying. We recorded our best ideas and also posed questions for Sally the Social Scientist about how the people were behaving. We then studied some quotes from the New Testament and tried to uncover Jesus’ teachings about prayer. The children will be choosing where they want their quest to go in next week’s lesson.
Year 4 - Times Tables
Look at those proud faces! Our rockin’ Year 4s have had a fantastic start to their TT Rock Stars journey. They trialled some of the single player games and earned coins to spend on their rockstar avatars. We talked about the benefits of doing our times tables little and often, but I think it’s going to be more hardworking keeping some of the class off this app!
Year 5&6 - Football Club
Today Years 5 & 6 took part in their very first football training club. The children practised key skills such as dribbling, passing and teamwork before finishing with some friendly matches.

Football Club
It was the start of the football session for Key Stage 2. The children were split into teams and played small-sided games, giving everyone plenty of touches on the ball and chances to work together.
Year 6 - Electrical Circuits
Today Year 6 explored how to solve broken circuits. They investigated why a circuit might not work — checking for loose connections, missing components or incorrect placements. Working in groups, they tested their ideas, fixed the problems and discovered how electricity flows around a complete circuit. Once they had solved the issues, they successfully made their own working circuits using bulbs, motors and switches. This helped them understand how electrical systems work in real life and built their problem-solving and teamwork skills.
Year 2 Art- Making Clay Pots
Today in their art lesson, Year 2 enjoyed making a clay pot and decorating it. In order to do this successfully, they learnt some new skills such as pinching, scoring, making and applying slip. The scoring and application of slip helped them with the process of decorating their pot. They turned out amazingly well especially for a first attempt- well done Year 2!
Year 1 Maths - Recognising numbers as words
In our maths session this morning, we focused on recognising numbers as words. We did lots of chin it and spin it then we moved onto learning the ‘Number Word Rap’. The children were super enthusiastic especially when completing the independent activities. We found it quite tricky to spell the words, especially the longer ones, but we really persevered.
Year 2 Maths- Flexibly Partitioning Numbers to 100
Today in their maths lesson, Year 2 flexibly partitioned numbers to 100. They successfully used base 10 and a part-whole model to support them with this mathematical concept- well done Year 2!

Year 3 - Exploring Purple Mash
This morning, the children explored Purple Mash, a creative and interactive online learning space. They focused on grammar activities, practising suffixes and using them to create their own exciting sentences. Purple Mash offers opportunities for children to learn through discovery and creativity, which they find both enjoyable and engaging.
