As part of our PSED and Maths this week, we have been talking about our favourite drinks. We put our choices onto a bar chart so that we could see which drinks were the most and least popular. We counted how many children liked each drink and discovered that apple juice was the most popular […]
This week, Year Five have been learning about applying different powers of ten. They revisited Gattegno charts, something they found very tricky last week, and used them confidently to solve problems involving different powers of ten. Well done Year Five for this fantastic application of growth mindset and perseverance (a word we have been defining […]
Within class this week, we have continued to explore our new science unit of forces. We have begun to look closely at gravity and the significant scientist Isaac Newton. Here are a selection of images of the children preparing our investigation where we are going to take precise measurements using force metres.
Children have been investigating the concept of length by making estimations regarding the size of different objects and features in the playground. They then measured using either metre sticks or rulers the actual length of these. As the lesson progressed, it was evident that children were beginning to grasp the concept as their estimations became […]
What a fantastic first week Reception have had. We have been so busy making new friends, exploring our classroom and outside area, enjoying new activities, investigating, building, drawing, making, dancing, meditating and so much more. We can’t wait to see what next week has in store. 😀
Year One have worked amazingly well this week, settling brilliantly in to their new classroom, showing us their growth mindsets, working in teams for PE and stretching their brains when sorting in Maths! 🧠 Keep it up everyone: your independence has already grown and we are so proud of you and your bravery – you […]
To complete our computing learning, we have been learning how to programme the Beebots to follow a path around a range of different maps. The children loved predicting where the Bee-Bot would finish once they had programmed it.
As part of their learning in Computing, the children have created their own animated books! 📚 They wrote stories relating to their Geography learning about Antarctica or penguins 🐧 or linked to their Maths work on time, thinking about what they did before, during or after school. They used backgrounds, created images, added and changed […]
This week our new year five class have begun to settle into their new surroundings. They have consistently impressed all of their teachers with their wonderful knowledge of key operations in maths and skilful writing techniques. We can’t wait to watch them grow and shine even more next year!
We have been so impressed with our new Year Twos. Whether it was the plant maths, the David Hockney art or the mysterious creature writing, they have thrown themselves into all the activities this week and shown they are more than ready to begin their journeys in year two. We are so excited to get […]
