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.

Worship: Worship Behaviour & Living Out God's Big Story
This morning in Worship, Mrs Araujo, our Behaviour Lead shared our behaviour focus for this term- Behaviour in Worship. We recapped our manners and lunch time behaviour focuses from last year and how they were linked to our 4 B's of Be Safe and Be Kind. This term we are going to focus on our 4 B's of Be Respectful and Be Ready and Mrs Araujo showed us special widgit symbols and Makaton signs that our teachers will be using to remind us of good listening, track the speaker, stay silent until asked to participate and good sitting. We then watched the latest Worship across the Diocese video about Bringing the Kingdom to life. After Pentecost what did the disciples do next? How did they make sure that they were following Jesus' teaching? In this episode we explored the actions of Jesus' followers that meant that they brought God's Big Story to life at that time, and the ways in which we can do the same today. We reflected with Bishop Philip on how we can be storytellers of God's big story as we can learn about Jesus, pray, eat together and give to others.
Year 5 - RE -Bible Translation
In RE this week, Year 5 were looking at how the Bible has been translated into over 7000 different languages. We started by discussing what we thought the word ‘translate’ means, why does it need to be translated and if the children thought it would be easy to translate. Following this we watched two video clips. One was about how the Bible used to be banned in China but a man named Robert Morrison spent 25 years translating it so that as many people could access it as possible. The Bible Society now distribute all over China with members of the church walking for several hours just to access a Sunday Service .
Year 3- Maths-Our First TTRockstars Session
In maths today, the children logged on to TTRockstars for the very first time, and they absolutely loved it! They had fun choosing their very own Rockstar names and avatars before getting started with the games. During the session, they practised a wide range of times tables through fun, fast-paced question games. The platform automatically adapts to each child’s learning needs, helping them to improve their recall and speed with multiplication. It was wonderful to see the children so engaged and motivated in their maths learning.

Year 5 - Move and Learn Physical Activities
Brad from the Blackburn Rovers Community Team visited Year 5 to talk to the children about the importance of physical activity and a healthy diet. The children went into the hall and learned about staying healthy through physical activity. They played games such as dodgeball and rock-paper-scissor relay. All the children had fun participating during the day. Thank you Brad.
