Rev Ben's Worship: Creation
Today’s whole school worship was led by Rev Ben where we explored the story of creation. We thought about why and how God created our world, which is rich in variety and we are trusted to look after. As we look around our world and as we go through our day, Rev Ben reminded us to reflect on how we can show love, respect and generosity to others and our world.
Year 3 - English- Expanding Our Vocabulary
Today in class, Year 3 writers were introduced to a thesaurus to help make their writing more descriptive and interesting. We learned that a thesaurus is a tool for finding new and exciting words. The children practiced this by using it to find different words such as beautiful, kind and cruel and which helped them expand their vocabulary.
Y4 English - The Explorer by Katherine Randell
In English today, Year 4 focused on using adverbials for place. We learnt that a fronted adverbial is when the adverbial word or phrase is moved to the front of the sentence, before the verb. The children worked really hard to collect adverbs and then add a comma to start their sentences. Next they used key events from the start of the story to finish their up levelled sentences, correcting along the way with their purple polisher.
Welcome to our Wellbeing Warriors 2025-2026
Today our Wellbeing Warriors gathered together for their first meeting. We looked at their role and what it involves across our school family. Lottie, Scarlett, Lana and Naomi can’t wait to get started and roll out lots of upcoming events like Hello Yellow Day for World Mental Health Day on 10th October. We are super excited about continuing with our Walk to School initiative and encourage everyone to try and gain even more badges than last year!

Year 2 Art- Exploring Clay
Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their art lesson this week, exploring the creative possibilities of clay. They had the opportunity to manipulate the material through rolling, flattening, pinching, and marking. They are already looking forward to our next lesson.
Year 2 PE- Moving, Jumping and Landing
This week in PE, Year 2 focused on developing their jumping and landing skills. They practised both straight jumps and star jumps, concentrating on using the correct technique. Pupils worked hard to land safely—on the balls of their feet, with bent knees and arms forward to help maintain balance. Well done, Year 2, for your fantastic effort and focus!
Year 2 Maths- Telling the Time to the Hour and Half Past the Hour
Year 2 have enjoyed learning to tell the time to the hour and half past the hour on an analogue clock. They have not only practised reading and making times, but have also worked hard to draw their own clock hands—carefully distinguishing between the shorter hour hand and the longer minute hand.

In Maths this week, Year 2 have been revisiting and deepening their understanding of how to use manipulatives—such as Rekenreks, Base 10, and ten frames—to build and represent numbers.
Reception - Self Portraits
This week, Reception have been looking at their facial features in order to paint self-portraits. We talked about features such as eye colour and how they are all different to each other. We used mirrors to look at our own features so we could select the correct colours to use for our paintings.
Year 4 - Class Worship
This week, in our class worship, we looked again at Lisa and Bishop Philip’s worship about living out God’s big story. We looked at our big frieze and recapped the story, using the pictures to help us. We discussed how Bishop Philip lives out God’s big story and shared ideas about how we could do this in our daily lives. Towards the end of our worship, the children shared their favourite parts of the big story, explaining the reasons for their choices. Here are some of their ideas: “I like Kingdom of God because it’s about everyone getting along.” “I like Creation because it’s reminds me of nature.”
Year 4 - Music: Glockenspiels
This half term, the Year 4 music topic is songwriting with glockenspiels. In this introductory lesson, the children found out a bit about glockenspiels. They then explored some famous soundtracks and learned about how they are written to enhance the events in specific parts of the films and create an emotive response.
Year 5 - French
In French, Year 5 revisited various topics from previous years such as greetings, places, numbers and questions. Future lessons will explore hobbies and free time.
