Classes
On Wednesday 4th December, children from the Owls and Swans class travelled to London. The first stop was the National Gallery and then to the Lyceum Theatre to watch The Lion King Musical. Thank you to all the adults who accompanied us on the trip. A great day was had by all.
The children were very excited as a parcel was delivered. The children passed the parcel around and were able to give their suggestions of what was in the parcel. Miss Jones opened the parcel and found Tinsel and Jingle in the box. Miss Jones read the letter to the children which Tinsel and Jingle had […]
In Art the children designed and made a mandala which can be used as a sun catcher. At break time they collected autumn leaves. They used the autumn leaves to create a circular pattern which they tried to make symmetrical. Amazing art work.
The children became ‘artists’ and began focusing on – Drawing. The children thought about the question – Can we explore line and mark making to draw water? The children recapped over last week’s lesson and identified the lines. The children were shown a range of the work of Zaria Forman. The children were asked to […]
Thank you for your generosity towards this year’s poppy appeal – £214.12 was raised by the school.
In English, we are looking at the story of Cinderella. We have learnt skills such as using commas in lists, prepositional phrases and have tried to use adventurous vocabulary. Today we wrote our story opening and tried to include these skills. Here is some of our work so far:

The children explored the bag of items, naming them and thinking about what weather condition they were associated with. The children matched weather pictures to the correct word. They […]
This week we have published our writing; a report about Sutton Hoo. We learnt the need for a heading and subheadings and presenting our information clearly. We found our information through watching short clips, reading books and investigating who may have been buried in the boat. Some of our published pieces are below.
In RE, as part of our Hinduism unit of work, we have been acting out the story of The Blind Man and The Elephant to help us understand that there are many ideas about God and they are not all the same. It depends who you ask and what aspect of the religion you look […]
The children in reception created their own fire engine. They discussed what features a fire engine had and why they are important. The children got busy selecting a box and covering it with red paper with Mrs Clark’s support. The children added the features to the fire engine and used blue milk bottle lids for […]
On Friday 18th October, we held our Harvest Assembly in the school hall. The children sang songs and read some beautiful poems. We also collected some non-perishable goods which will donated to the Colchester Food Bank. Thank you for your generosity.
