The children completed the puzzles and made a picture of ‘The Great Fire of London’ and ‘Samuel Pepys’. The children gave their ideas of what they thought they were. The children watched a clip […]
In art we have begun looking at the artist Henry Moore. We explored mixing colours and different drawing media to create the different colours and effects he uses in his ‘Shelter paintings’.
Owls’ Science topic this half term is Properties and Changes in Materials. This week we looked at solubility. The children had to work as scientists to plan and carry out their own tests to investigate the solubility of different materials. Lots of great learning and discussions.
To launch our new History topic, the Owls class started the term with an Ancient Egyptian immersion day. The children first had to ‘excavate’ some artefacts from an archaeological dig, examine them and make predictions about them. In Maths, we investigated how many cubes we’d need to make different sizes of pyramids. We then tried […]
In July 2023, Yer 5 & 6 visited Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia for their residential trip. They were involved in many, many activities which included gorge scrambling, canoeing and mountain walking.

The Kingfishers performed their last assembly of the school year. The children were confident to stand up and perform to the audience. The children told the audience about what they enjoy learning at school, read Kingfisher’s Class ABC poem and sang ‘Oh I do like to be beside the seaside’ A great assembly Kingfishers.

They accessed some areas of the wildlife area and then headed over to the local woods to play some Forest Fun games. They children […]
On Wednesday 21st June, a group of children represented our school in the netball county final. They played really well demonstrating good team spirit and skill. Thank you to Mrs Wyncoll and Mrs Allum for coaching and accompanying them to the tournaments.
Kingfishers Class were very excited as they had received a very important letter. Mrs Clark opened the envelope and read the letter from Thomas Claridge (Head of Royal Correspondence) who was writing on behalf of the King. The letter was thanking the children for sending congratulations cards for the King’s Coronation.
In Science we dissected a heart. The children had been learning about the heart in previous lessons so this really helped embed the learning. Some of them were really brave and used scalpels to cut into the chambers!
