Year five Dolphin Class had a curiously creative time in their art lesson this week, making £D flowers from a variety of different papers.

Y4 were really excited to be back on the laptops and building their skills in using 2Logo. This week, we learnt how to use the ‘Repeat’ command to create a range of 2D shapes. Some children even managed to use this command to make a ten-sided shape and a circle! Keep up the enthusiasm for…

This afternoon in Science, Y4 made drums out of classroom objects to investigate sound vibrations. We worked in groups and placed rice on our drums and observed to see how much the rice moved when tapping the drum with a different amount of fingers each time. This was a great way to explore the…

We have been learning about subtraction this week. We practised our verbal recall of subtraction facts within 5, using a prompt (e.g. number line) if/when required. Once we had worked out the answer, we wrote the number sentence to represent each subtraction fact.

This week we have read the Gingerbread Man story, the children took part in hot seating to discuss the ideas and thoughts of different characters. We then wrote what we thought the characters would say to each other in the story.

We have researched about the Lebanese Civil War - where the story is set - and learnt about how life changed during these times. Finally, we re-enacted the moment that the protagonist, Ayesha,…

This week in Geography, we have learnt all about different coastal habitats. Y4 were really interested in the different habitats especially a coral reef (as you can find stingrays here) and rock pools (where you can find a species of manatee). Keep up the super Geography work…

This week, we went on a local area visit to Lidl to buy ingredients to make gingerbread men! We planned our route and walked safely along the pavements to the supermarket, discussing the importance of road safety along the way. When we arrived at Lidl, we looked at our shopping list before buying…

We have had the delivery of our VERY special books. Well done to the 25 children who managed to get their writing published in our Writing competition! Always proud of our very talented children. 

This week Nursery are studying the artist Andy Goldsworthy. Yesterday we talked about Andy Goldsworthy and discussed his sculptures, the natural materials that he liked to use, where he produced his artwork and the shapes that we could see in his designs. 
Today we went on a hunt around the…
