🌟 A fantastic start to the new term for our Year 3/4 pupils! 🌟 This week, we’ve dived into our brand new Geography unit: What are rivers and how are they used? 🌊 The children kicked things off by exploring the water cycle, learning key processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Working in small groups, they created brilliant diagrams to show how water moves through the cycle. Lots of great teamwork, creative thinking, and scientific curiosity on display! 💧🌀 Here’s to a term full of learning, discovery, and fun! 🌍✨ #Year3 #Year4 #GeographyFun #WaterCycle #Teamwork #PrimaryLearning

It was a real pleasure to celebrate Easter together as a school family on Friday in the The Minster Church. Our Year 1-2 pupils, who led us in a retelling of the Easter story, and year 6 pupils, who led us in a prayer, spoke so clearly. Singing was full of joy. Our termly stars were celebrated with enthusiasm. What a wonderful way to celebrate Easter! Thank you to everyone that supported us and made it possible. From Rev Leisa and the church staff, to all the parents, carers and friends who helped us walk safely to and from the church. We all wish you a very Happy Easter! 🐣

🎭 What a show! Our brilliant Year 3/4 pupils wowed everyone with their fantastic performance of Panto Pandemonium! From dazzling costumes to hilarious moments and confident singing, they truly brought the pantomime magic to life. A huge well done to all the children and staff involved – we couldn’t be prouder! 🌟👏 #PantoPandemonium #AxminsterStars #PrimarySchoolProud

Year 2 have been having a go at writing instructions. We've made Rice Krispy Nests and then we wrote the recipe using imperative verbs and sequencing words. Maybe you could try the recipe over the holidays? Happy Easter!

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.

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
