In PSHE, we have been working on our listening skills and learning to listen better to others. To practise, we did an activity where we each secretly drew a picture. We sat back to back with a partner and had to describe our pictures for our partners to draw. We had to listen carefully to […]
The children became ‘artists’ and thought about the question – Can we explore playdough and its properties to create a dinosaur? The children listened to instructions and explored the play dough. The children were asked to create their own dinosaur sculpture. The children looked at the models of the dinosaurs and set to work making […]
As part of their Scientist study on George Stevenson, the children in Woodpeckers class have been learning about steam power. We learned about how steam is different to smoke because smoke is from something burning, and steam is from liquid boiling. The children were able to demonstrate knowledge of the difference between steam and smoke […]
The Swans have been learning about Thomas Clarkson and his campaign to abolish the Transatlantic Slave trade. They used their history skills and discussed why his chest was an important part of the campaign. They then created a role play based on the meetings Clarkson would have attended to present the contents of his chest. […]

On Tuesday 17th January, some children from the Owls class took part in an Under 9 Futsal competition. They played extremely well and showed great sportsmanship and team work. Thank you to the adults who accompanied the group!

Graham explained he is a Palaeontologist and told the children he uses a hammer and brush to find fossils. […]
The children were very surprised when they found the window open, some dinosaur footprints on the table and a nest full of eggs. They were very excited about this discovery and became ‘explorers’ thinking about, and discussing the evidence they found. They came to the conclusion a dinosaur had been in the classroom!! The children […]
The children were introduced to their enquiry question for this half term – How is our school and local area affected by the seasons? The Year One children were asked to think about the question and Mrs Clark recorded their answers. The Reception children were asked to tell Miss Jones about the word weather and […]
In Art the Reception children designed and made a mandala which can be used as a sun catcher. They used flower petals and leaves to create a circular pattern which they tried to make symmetrical. Amazing art work.
Mrs Gage talked to the children about Remembrance Day. Mrs Gage then read the children a story called ‘Where the Poppies Now Grow’. Mrs Gage showed the children a tin and told the children there was words in the tin from the story. The children tool it in turns to choose a word and they […]
