In our art lesson today we have been learning how colour and brushstrokes can communicate aspects of our identity. We used different sized and shaped brushes whilst experimenting with colour and painting techniques.

We are so impressed with how our personalities have shone through in our…

In Science we have created our own filters to clean water. We had to use 6 different layers of materials which would trap the dirt but allow the water through. Our water was much cleaner at the end but we still wouldn’t drink it!

What a wonderful, hands-on maths lesson we had today! Years 1 and 2 took their place value learning outdoors to consolidate their understanding of teen numbers using natural materials and physical movement.

Using our natural surroundings, the children represented the place value of each teen…

Excitement was in the air this week as Maple Class got to use our brand-new chromebooks for the very first time!

What We Learned:

1. Logging On: Every child practised finding and typing their own unique username and password. This is a huge milestone for building independent digital…

In our Art lessons we have created a continuous line drawing of our selves. This proved to be quite a tricky skill, one which we haven’t attempted before, however we persevered and tried our very best.

Next, we used our ideas to communicate our identity in the self portrait and wrote these…

After a session around the playground, some of the children took theirs bikes out onto the…

In Science we have been learning about mixtures. We have discovered you can separate mixtures that have different sized particle by sieving. We became gold prospectors and created our own sieves to see how much gold we could extract from the sand.

How to Play

• The Knights: Armed with a ball, the knights had to dribble and bounce their way…

Our classroom door has had an inspirational makeover! Inspired by the fantastic Little People, BIG DREAMS book series, Maple Class have been thinking carefully about the future and what they hope to achieve.

We spent time talking about our goals for this school year—like making new friends,…

What an incredible way to celebrate our year 6 children. In our beautiful church surrounded by our friends and family we shared our memories and poems to send our year 6 friends off in style.

In English Willow class, to link with our topic on the Stone Age, have been reading Stone Age Boy.

We then wrote our own stories based on this story.

As part of our learning around traditional tales, the children carried out a science investigation inspired by the story of The Princess and the Pea.

We wanted to find out how many layers it would take before we could no longer feel the “pea” hidden underneath!

Our Reception children became…
