• Year 2 are Mathematicians

  Thu 27 Feb 2025 Mr Smith and Miss Richardson

  This week Year 2 have been focusing on shapes in Maths. They have been learning to identify 2D and 3D shapes by systematically counting the shapes faces, edges and vertices. They have then applied this knowledge to solve reasoning questions by making different shapes out of resources and finding different ways to do this. 

  

• Year 3 are Historians

  Wed 26 Feb 2025

  This week year 3 have started exploring our new History Topic of the Stone Age to Iron Age. The children started identifying a range of tools and weapons. They then considered when these tools were used and placed their ideas on the timeline along with familiar dates such a their birthday’s and important dates in history such as the birth of Alan Turing and when Mary Anning first discovered a fossil. Then on Wednesday the children had a special visit from a Cave Man who brought artefacts and costumes to teach the children about life in the Stone Age. 

  

• Year 1 are Scientists…

  Wed 26 Feb 2025

  This week we have started our new Science topic of ‘Everyday Materials’. We identified the material used to make lots of everyday objects we find at home and in school. Our learning will move onto investigating the properties of different materials and their suitability for different purposes.

• Reception are Storytellers

  Reception have been really enjoying reading books that we have read in class. They are super storytellers when using the props to retell a familiar story. 

  

• Year 6 are designers!

  Mon 24 Feb 2025

  Year 6 have been investigating the use of CAMs to create reciprocating motion. They created their one cardboard prototypes to see how the shape of the CAM would affect the motion of the follower. They will use all of this information in their designs later this week! 

  

• Year 4 are Artists

  Fri 14 Feb 2025 Mrs Phelan & Mrs Halpin-Power

  Year 4 have been exploring the work of Karla Schuster. They have explored the use of different materials to make a collage and how they can be applied to create texture. They have begun to create their own collage animal using different types of paper and printing. Well done Year 4!

  

• Year 2 are Artists

  Thu 13 Feb 2025 Mr Smith and Miss Richardson

  This week Year 2 have been Artists. They have designed and created a loom based off the textile artist Diedrick Brackens. They designed either a repeating or abstract pattern in their books and then transferred this onto lollipop sticks to create their looms. They have then started to weave their designs using wool and the results are fantastic!

  

• Year 3 are Artists

  Thu 13 Feb 2025

  This week in art the children have been exploring artist Angie Lewin and how her use of materials, colour and patterns can showcase the best of nature and allow it to stand out within its surroundings. 

  

• Y2 are writers

  Thu 06 Feb 2025 Miss Richardson and Mr Smith

  This week Y2 have started looking at the story Our Tower by Joseph Coelho for story telling week. To build ideas for their writing we explored the school grounds to find secret passageways into magical worlds. Once the children had identified a passage they designed the magical world that they think would be hidden behind it. We then used drama to deepen by acting out going into our world and imagining how we would feel.
