• Year 6 are negotiators

  Mon 13 Jan 2025 Miss Hardman and Mrs Elliott

  This week, Year 6 represented different nations at a UN convention discussing the ‘greebeldy’ problem sweeping the globe. The children used their knowledge of modal verbs to write down their ideas as to how the issues should be dealt with. We had a fantastic time and have some government representatives in the making!

• Year 5 are geographers!

  Fri 10 Jan 2025 Mr Bawden

  This week, Year 5 started their geography topic comparing California to the North-West England. They began by learning about different climate zones and understanding how a location’s position relative to the equator affects the climate it has. The next lesson, Year 5 began understanding where North-West England and California are located in regards to their hemisphere, continent and country. A great start to this topic!

  

• Nursery are ARTISTS

  Fri 10 Jan 2025

  This week we challenged Nursery to think about what they wanted to paint before painting. They needed to think about the colours they wanted to use and the shapes they would need to make. They created fantastic paintings. Well done Nursery. 

  

• Year 2 are Chefs.

  Thu 09 Jan 2025 Mr Smith and Miss Richardson

  This week as part of their Design and Technology project, Year 2 have been chefs and made vegetable tartlets. Using an array of different vegetables including; courgette, tomato’s, spinach, mushroom, sweetcorn and then passata and pesto sauces, children designed, made and evaluated their tartlets. It was so lovely to see children willing to try lots of new food that they hadn’t tasted before. I’m sure you’ll agree they all turned out AMAZING!
