The Reception children worked together to create an ice cream kiosk. They made balls of ice cream and helped put the signs up. They took turns to be the ice cream seller and the customers. Lovely turn taking Kingfishers.
The children in Year 6 have been learning about the function of blood and it’s composition. They made models to represent the different components.
On Thursday 8th May, the Year 5s visited Kinetic Adventure. The day began with a workshop about the solar system where we used playdough to represent the relative sizes of the planets. Later in the day, we had a fascinating talk about life on the International Space Session. In between, we got to spend time […]
The Swans have been learning about the function of the heart. They were extremely lucky to receive a dissection lesson from Mrs Harvey who is a trained high school Science teacher. Every single child took part and this really helped embed their learning about the different parts of this vital organ!

They had a religious belief […]
On Thursday 24th April, Years 3 and 4 attended the Schools’ Farm and Country Show at Trinity Park. The children moved round different zones throughout the day: Conservation, Livestock, STEM and Food.
