Handa’s Surprise

This week Reception have been reading Handa’s Surprise. They have been learning about all different kinds of fruits and today made a fruit salad with all of their favourites. We also talked about healthy and treat foods. Ask your children to give you some examples at home.  

Reading in Nursery

Nursery have started their shared reading this week! They took their discussion books home on Friday and were very excited to share the story with Mrs Dixon and their friends! Well done Nursery!  

Year One are computer wizards!

Year One have been learning about how to stay safe online, using their Purple Mash logins to create their own avatar. They know that they shouldn’t share any personal information online including their photographs and also know that they must tell an adult if they see anything online that they do not like. They made […]

Active Literacy Club

The Active Literacy Club started today with year one and year two girls. We had a mission to go to the purple planet to meet the space pirates. First we had to build our rocket before learning all of the captain’s commands.  Next week we will be launching our space rocket into space.    

First week back

Reception have had a very busy, exciting week back at school. As well as dressing up as rockstars on Monday, we have used money to buy vegetables linked to the ‘Supertato’ story, written get well cards as part of our PSED work and this afternoon, we dressed up as our favourite characters.

A successful bake off in Year Four!

Here are the finished products from our Roman bakery. The children are currently tasting and evaluating the success of their finished designs. I think we’re all impressed with what we’ve produced from Roman ingredients.  

Year Four’s Roman Bakery

Year Four have been busy bakers this morning in the Roman Bakery. They have each made bread using a variety of Roman ingredients from their original design. We are going to be evaluating them during the afternoon, and bringing a sample home to taste.

The children loved watching the wood chipper, despite the wayward sawdust that was created! They were then […]
