• Year 2 are Passionate about Poetry…

  Wed 01 Oct 2025

  To celebrate national poetry week, Year 2 have been listening to a poem call ‘From a Railway Carriage’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. Before the children heard the poem, they were told the title and we discussed their predictions about what the poem could be about. 
   

  We have created story maps to help us retell the poem on Tuesday then our learning moved onto imagining we are in the rain way carriage. The children thought of and shared so many wonderful, creative ideas - we can’t wait to use these in our descriptive piece of writing!

  Tue 30 Sep 2025

  Nursery are enjoying poetry week this week. We are reading the poem 'Hurt No Living Thing' and to help to bring the poem to life we have been going on bug hunts outside, we have been making mini beasts using natural objects and we have been designing our own butterflies! Well done Nursery!

  This week, Year 6 started their poem for Poetry Week. We are looking at ‘The Highway Man’ by Alfred Noyes. We read the poem together, discussed the story and then used a story map to help us retell it. We all absolutely love the poem and can’t wait to get started on our setting descriptions.

• Year 2 are Geographers…

  Wed 24 Sep 2025

  Year 2’s geography topic this half term is ‘Salford’. We ventured out on Monday for a walk around our local area to look at different types of houses. Before setting off, we mapped out a route and ensured we followed this. The children were excellent at identifying detached, semi-detached, terraced houses as well as flats. Well done, Year 2!

  

• Year 3 are Geographers 🌍🚙

  Wed 24 Sep 2025 Mrs Burton and Mr Smith

  This week Year 3 took a trip out into our local area. We carried out some fieldwork to find out what is the most popular mode of transport used. Before leaving for our walk, we discussed the most suitable way to record this. In pairs, we recorded traffic on a tally chart over a 3 minute period. We were shocked at the amount of transport we saw in such a short space of time!
