In year 3/4 we are working hard using Spelling Shed. This is new for us and is helping the children to practise and learn their spellings using games and challenges. The children love it! We can almost hear them “buzzing” whilst they use it, just like the bees in the games.

In Year 3/4 today the children have been exploring what an electric circuit is and how to make one. To challenge their scientific minds, the children have been predicting if different drawings of circuits will make a bulb light up. The children had to think carefully about what they already knew…

We have been finding our way around the Bible to see what it has to teach us about Harvest.

Our favourite passage as a class was from Genesis 8:22,

“As long as the earth continues,

There will be planting and harvest.

Cold and hot,

summer and winter,

Day and night

The infants celebrated a very special occasion in church today - Baby Poppy was baptised! 

Reverend Karen kindly came in to show us what happens during a baptism. Our Year 2 children acted as the parents and godparents, making promises to help guide Baby Poppy as part of God's family.

What a…

Our new school year has got off to a brilliant start and we have gelled together as a class amazingly. Everyone's working super hard and we're having lots of fun at the same time. One of our English topics is fables and so to get to know some of them, we worked in groups to act out some of…

On Wednesday we had a wonderful time. We spent the whole day outside learning team building skills at Forest school with Mrs Kearns and Miss Gill. We were given a challenge: to build a wash bowl stand and draining platform. The only materials we were give were 15 bamboo canes, string and a bowl;…

We've had a football-filled day of fun! From creating team posters to creating a collaborative picture, from finding facts about players in the Euros to playing football all afternoon, we've had a great time. After all that, there was only one way to finish the day and that was with a loud class…

All the infants took part in all the races on thankfully a dry afternoon, including the egg and spoon race, the sack race and sprinting. They were all amazing! All the points won will be added together with the scores from the other classes and our Sports Day Team Champions 2021 will be announced…

In PSHE we've been finding out about how our bodies start to change as we get older. Today we thought about how this might make us feel and talked about why teenagers are often described as being grumpy! We had great fun thinking of reasons why parents and teenagers might get upset with one…

We made it through thousands of years of Biblical history in chronological order. James came in to help us learn what happened and when it happened (the Bible is not written in chronological order). Over the course of 6 hours, we went from creation Christ’s birth at the beginning of the New…

Today we had an interesting visit from John (the bug guy). He told us all about different bugs and how they survived, even in the harshest conditions. We learned you can find snails everywhere on the planet; tardigrades (water bears) are indestructible; stick insects are all female and essentially…

As part of our RE topic this half term. we visited church to identify the different features and think about what makes a church such a special building for Christians. 

We discussed what we could see and were particularly interested in the beautiful stained glass windows - we recognised that…
