Year Four have worked their socks off this week during their involvement in a city wide TTRS competition. They have shown determination and commitment to answer as many questions as possible to gain places on the leader boards for our school, our class and as individuals and their hard work has definitely paid off! As […]
This week, we have been continuing to work hard in our fractions unit in maths. The children used counters to concretely subtract from a mixed number whilst crossing a whole. It was fantastic to see them representing mixed numbers with such confidence and then transitioning onto pictorial and abstract methods.
Year Two have been learning about money recently. In this lesson, they worked with concrete resources to understand the concept of giving change. They drew pictures, set a price and sold them to their friends, ensuring they were giving accurate change.
Year Six we’re presented with a mystery photograph of a family from the Victorian era. They were presented with an old, handwritten Victorian census taken 4 years after the photograph and a signature at the bottom of the picture. With this, children were tasked with identifying the name, age (when the photograph was taken, not […]
Happy New Year to all! It’s great to see all children back in class after the holidays. This afternoon, children are using Purple Mash’s Spreadsheet programme to create a spreadsheet which will calculate how many weeks they’ll have to save up in order to eventually afford some of their most desired items.
Year Two have been learning about money this week in maths. They first reminded themselves about what coins exist and their value. They then started to count coins and combine them to make amounts. The children have held the coins and used them help with their counting. Super work!
Reception have had a fantastic first week back at school after the holidays. They were so excited to see their friends and share the news about what they had been up to and what lovely gifts they had received from Santa.

This week, we began our new unit of learning in maths – Fractions. Crucially, we reminded ourselves of what a fraction was and the different ways they can be represented. Together, we defined a numerator and a denominator and began to explore equivalent fractions using the fraction tiles.

After reading the story of Rama and Sita, the children acted it out as well as making play dough diva lamps, Diwali cards and lots of rangoli patterns. We also did some Diwali yoga and Indian dancing before writing out […]
