Year 1-2 Transition day
What an AMAZING day we have had getting ready to move into our new Year 2 class. Year 1 have worked so hard making our own “all about me” poster so Mr Norris can learn even more about them. All the children showed off their amazing writing! Everyone in our class was so excited to show Mr Norris around our school and even more excited to show him where we get to play on the trim trail and MUGA. We can’t wait to welcome you all back through the year 2 door in September for our new journey!

Bikeability Cycle Training- Year 5 and 6

The aim was to give our children the confidence to ride their bikes and enjoy the many advantages that cycling offers. They had the opportunity to learn about safety and other important aspects of cycling from four experienced coaches.

Year 3 Music
During music Year 3 were using both hands to play a tune, holding C with their left hands and playing the tune with the right. Everyone had a really good try and the tunes sounded brilliant. Well done Year 3!
Year 3 Computing
During computing Year 3 were talking about GPS, considering the positives and negatives to using GPS. They then went on to use GPS to track down people who had stolen some money from a bank.
Year 4 - Science with Mr Prescott
Our super scientists have been investigating melting points with Mr Prescott this week. They heated margarine, coconut oil, and dark, white and gluten-free chocolate over a tea light candle and measured the temperature to see which had the highest melting point.
Reception Junior Jam
Today in junior jam the children had a music lesson, focusing on the role of a conductor. The children were able to name lots of different instruments in an orchestra. We watched a video of a conductor and discussed what they do. We then played a music game called Popcorn where the children copied the actions and followed the music by tapping, stamping, patting and snapping. In our French lesson, the children remembered how to say hello and they knew their numbers up to 10 in french with the help of a song. We then played a game of hide and seek with the numbers to see if we could remember them. The children also played a counting game where they were able to count the pictures of sweets and chocolate in french. They then learned head, shoulders, knees and toes. In our Computing session, the children learned the difference between a photograph and a video. They then went onto the iPads and went on the sketch app to create their own animals. The children showed the Christian value of respect to our junior jam teachers.
