We are having a busy final week of the Spring Term in reception! We’ve been loving the sunshine and being able to use all of our wonderful outside space. The children have been showing off their developing gross motor skills on the bikes and trikes where the children have been challenging themselves to travel around cones and various obstacles showing their focus and control. In maths the children have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes and have been naming them and talking about their properties. We’ve been having lots of fun creating our own shape pictures representing different methods of transport, and been using the magnetic shapes to create our own models too. In reception we have been working incredibly hard on our independent writing, the children have been coming up with their own sentences and independently writing them using capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. #EYFS #learningthroughplay #onthemove

This week in KS1 we have been super mathematicians.
Year 1 have been focusing on mass. We have been investigating mass and comparing objects based on this. We compared the masses of objects using non-standard units of measure. We used the stem sentence: the mass of the ________ is ________ cubes. We then used pencils as our non-standard unit of measure.

Eagles and Hawks have been experimenting with coding and programming a Micro:bit. They have created polling programs and pedometers to count the amount of steps taken and some had to debug after their coding was sabotaged by others! Polls were taken to find their opinion on many topics such as pineapple on a pizza or did you like football. The results were very interesting.

Our Year 4 children had a fantastic morning yesterday at Woodroffe Secondary School taking part in the Primary Maths Roadshow. They tackled exciting problem-solving challenges, worked together on maths puzzles, and explored new ways of thinking about numbers.
A big thank you to the team at Woodroffe for hosting such an engaging and inspiring session - our budding mathematicians loved it!

🌟🎨✨ Poetry Power in Year 3/4! ✨🎨🌟
This week, our incredible Year 3/4 class has been diving into the magical world of poetry! 📝💫 From similes as bright as the sun to alliteration that dances delightfully, their creativity has been bursting with brilliance!
Not only did they craft some magnificent metaphors and spectacular stanzas, but they also brought their words to life with beautiful illustrations! 🎨🖌️
We are so proud of their hard work and imagination – poets and artists in the making! 🖊️💭

To all year 3-4 parents.
Tomorrow is our dress rehearsal of Panto Pandemonium.
If possible please could all costumes and props be in school in the morning.
The children have all worked so incredibly hard and it's easy to forget that they are still so young. Such talent!
Tickets will be sent home asap for those that have replied with their slips.
We ask that all children please be returned to school on Wednesday 2nd of April @430pm so that we can get them ready.
If this is an issue, please contact your class teacher so that we can support you to allow this to happen.
Kindest regards
The year 3 - 4 team

How many talented artists do we have in year 5/6? The answer is - lots! The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the works of famous English artist David Hockney. Hockney's work is bold and colourful and based on his travelling around the world. In his later years, Hockney moved onto digital pieces, using his personal photos and creating a unique collage. The children have analysed, investigated and recreated some of his favourite pieces. Have a look at some of their stunning work - you will be impressed by the high standard of work.

We’ve been enjoying the dry weather and being able to make the most of our large outdoor space! We are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful outside learning environment and the children have been loving doing big mark making with paintbrushes and water on the paving stones. The children have been helping with the weeding this week ahead of our spring planting next half term, they were very excited that they found worms and caterpillars! The children were very gentle and took good care of them and made sure to return them safely to their homes. This week we have been reading ‘what the ladybird heard’ and we’ve been retelling the story using our puppets. #EYFS #beingimaginativeandcreative #EAD #understandingtheworld #learnthroughplay

Year 1/2 have had a fantastic week full of learning.
Year 1 have been using thier sense of smell to identify smelly items in science. The smelly items were covered up so we couldn't see them! The onion was particularly stinky.

Every half term the Little Acorns learn a new poem from the Poetry Basket. Here are a few of our little stars performing 'Pancakes' after just 4 weeks of learning it.
We are busy creating some specials cards for this weekend too!🥰

Healthy snacks were on the menu this week at Cooking Club with Project Food! The children learnt to make muffins - some with spinach, carrot and cheese and some with banana! We are so impressed with how adventurous everyone is getting and how much more confident they are at following recipes.
Thanks so much to all the adults who are helping to make this possible. You really are the dream makers!
