Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
In Reception we have been exploring the past. We invited some of our family members in to school to talk about their past with us. We have really enjoyed learning about how different people grew up.
Roll up! Roll up! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls the circus is coming to Year 6. We will be exploring how to create mood and atmosphere in the coming weeks so started off with our very own circus performance. We had an artist, a magician, a contortionist, a singer, dancers and lots lots more. We all got invited to the biggest show of the year and had such good fun.
We then created designs for our own travelling circus. We are so pleased with the results!
Last week Nursery learnt about length and we learnt new vocabulary to compare objects. We compared sticks and made snakes with cubes and we then talked about which were longer or shorter.
This week both Year 5 classes were excited to invite their adults into school to enjoy some quality reading time and some morning snacks.
Year 3 have been learning about why and how people pray. We have explored different religions including Christianity and Islam. We learnt about Muslim prayer from some of the girls in Year 3 who are practising Muslims.
We have been using different resources from the maths station to show one more and one less than a given number. We have also used a number line to jump forwards and backwards.
This week Year 4 have started a new science topic all about Animals including humans. We have carried out two experiments looking at what happens to the food we eat once we have chewed it. We discovered that Salivary Amylase added to our food when we chew makes things taste sweeter. We all also looked at what the stomach does to the food we have eaten using a food bag, crackers and cola.
Well done Year 4 super science!
This week, we had some visitors who came to talk to us about their exciting visit to Nairobi, the Masai Mara, visiting a Masai tribe and the Kenyan Women’s Centre. We loved hearing about their travels and learning more about Kenya.
This week in Reception we went outside to look for bugs. We explored our outdoor provision and then used our phonic knowledge to write down the names of the insects we found.
Over the last couple of weeks we have been honing our computer skills to develop and design our own website. We have recently been learning about Mary Anning so have been using this as inspiration to create our own website, using Google Sites
