  Fri 06 Jun 2025

  This week we have listened to and enjoyed our new storytelling text called The Wooden Baby! Today we completed a plot matrix collaboratively and the children wrote all of the key words on their boards.  I am so pleased with their application of their phonics skills and their beautiful handwriting. Well done 1P! 
   

  Year 1 has been learning how to quarter shapes and objects this week! After mastering halving before the half term, they’ve blown us away with their brilliant quartering skills- even challenging each other to spot how many quarters make up different parts of a whole. I’m so proud of the connection they’ve made between halving and quartering. Well done 1H!

  This week Year 2 have been Scientists looking at the difference between seeds and bulbs and have predicted which will grow quicker and given reasons why. They have then dissected seeds and bulbs and observed differences between them. The children have then prepared and conducted an experiment to research what seeds need to germinate by planting cress and bulbs in a variety of conditions and will observe them grow over the week.

• Year 5 are historians!

  Tue 03 Jun 2025

  Year 5 began their history topic on the Anglo-Saxons by studying the burial site at Sutton Hoo. The classes used the evidence to hypothesise and predict what the site was used for. Once they found out that it was a burial site the children looked at a reconstruction of the burial area to predict what the Anglo Saxons were like as a people from the items.
