• Year 3 are historians!

  Thu 19 Jun 2025 Mrs Burton and Mrs Bailey

  Yesterday year 3 had the most incredible trip to the Grosvenor Museum in Chester. We took part in a Roman day. We started the day with a Roman workshop looking at why the Romans came to Britain. We had the chance to explore artefacts and become detectives for the session.  We also took part in a Roman soldier tour. We carried shields through Chester City centre to the amphitheater for formation training. The whole of the city knew we were there with our amazing chanting. Brilliant day had by all.

• Year 2 are Scientists

  Wed 18 Jun 2025 Mr Smith and Miss Richardson

  Year 2 have been learning about life cycles in Science. On Wednesday, we went to Trentham Monkey Forest to learn more about macaques including how they grow, what they eat, how to identify male and females and how they interact within their social circles. We also learnt how they are endangered with only 8,000 left in the wild and discussed why their conservation work at Trentham is important. We were also lucky enough to see some new born monkeys (only 3 weeks old.)

  Year 4 have begun their money topic in mathematics. They have worked hard on converting money from pounds to pence and pence to pounds. They have compared and estimated amounts of money and have now begun to calculate amounts and work out change. Well done Year 4 you are superstars! 
   

  

• Year 3 are Mathematicians!

  Fri 13 Jun 2025 Mrs Burton and Mr Bailey

  This week Year 3 have started their measurement topic looking at mass and capacity. We used scales to compare masses and measuring jugs to compare capacity. We found that it’s not always the biggest thing that’s the heaviest and not always the tallest container that holds the most. 

  

• Year 2 are Mathematicians.

  Thu 12 Jun 2025 Miss Richardson and Mr Smith

  This week year 2 have been working on column subtraction. We started practically with our tens and ones and then learned the written method for our books. After practicing without crossing a 10 we learned how to exchange numbers. The children have blown us away with their subtraction skills.

  Today, Year 6 got to participate in a triathlon organised by the Brownlee Foundation. We raced a course involving swimming, cycling and running. We had a fantastic time and loved cheering one another on. Keep an eye out for those Olympic medals in our future!
