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!
On Monday we went to Kinetic Adventure in Claydon (near Ipswich). We learnt all about the sizes of planets, the International Space Station and even had a go at a few science experiments. We had a lovely day and would recommend everyone to look out for the offers they have over half terms and on […]

In a recent Woodpeckers computing lesson, we looked at Sketchpad on the Chromebooks. This is a free website that allows you to draw, write and colour. We thought about what astronauts might take onto the International Space Station and then drew our pictures of items in their bag using Sketchpad.

They had a religious belief […]
This week in the forest, we were very busy planting sunflower seeds, recapping our clay skills from Autumn term, building ships and checking the progress of the frogspawn!
Miss Jones made an Easter display for the residents at BlackBrook Residential Home with the Easter Eggs the children had coloured. Mrs Cousins will deliver the Easter cards the children have made to the older residents in the village. Well done Kingfishers.
On Friday 28th March, several children from the Owls and Woodpeckers classes took part in a hockey skills session. The children spent some time at various stations learning some skills useful for playing hockey. Thank you to the adults for taking them and all who came and supported the team.
In Year 6, we have been learning different watercolour techniques. We then tried to use some of the techniques in our iceberg paintings.
