💜 Year 1 💜 We’ve had a very busy and exciting week in Year 1! In Literacy, the children wrote about special memories for someone special and shared their imaginative ideas linked to "If the World Were…”. In Maths, we have been learning all about money, recognising coins and practising how to use them. In History, the children explored amazing landmarks from around the world, including the Burj Khalifa and the Pyramid of Giza. We also had great fun taking part in a circus skills workshop, where the children learned new skills and showed fantastic teamwork. To top it all off, they proudly performed their dance for the whole school – they were amazing! Have a lovely weekend! Miss Shuffle and Miss Dennant

💜 Reception 💜 This week in Reception we had a fantastic visit to Africa Alive where we enjoyed seeing lots of different wild animals. The children represented the school brilliantly and showed excellent behaviours for learning. Circus Ferrel has arrived and we enjoyed a circus skills workshop where the children showed great resilience when trying new things such as poi, diablo and tight rope walking. We have also immersed in the Tiger Who Came to Tea and have written tea party invitations and shopping lists. We finished the week, watching a very special "showstopper" assembly in the big top and proudly performed our new circus skills to the whole school. Next week, we continue learning about Wild Animals and will share the story 'Rumble in the Jungle'. In Maths we are going to explore subtraction using cubes and counters. Circus Ferrel are performing Saturday and Sunday at 2pm - we would love to see you there! Have a fantastic weekend Mrs Gee, Mrs Cook and Mrs Hay

💜 Reception 💜 This week in Reception we have immersed in the book 'The Visitors'. The children have created their own art work using natural resources and have created stories and have written sentences about their picture. In Maths, we have been using mathematical frames to find pairs of numbers to total 10. In the garden we have enjoyed playing in the shade and have spent time talking about the warm temperatures and how to stay safe in the sun. We even had a special treat of ice pops in the garden delivered by our Year 6 friends. We ended the week with a visit from Chef Nik from Edward's and Blake, who talked to us about healthy eating, which linked to our "Very Hungry Caterpillar" topic. We finished a very hot week, playing in the shade and having a "spa" in the garden. Next week we visit Africa Alive on Monday and welcome Circus Ferrell to our school. A fabulous week awaits us! Please remember hats, drinks, suncream and pack lunches for our Africa Alive trip on Monday. Have a fantastic weekend. Mrs Gee, Mrs Cook and Mrs Hay

During PSHE, the children have been learning about the Pantasaurous, thinking carefully about how we can be kind, respectful and supportive of one another. In Maths, we’ve been working hard on place value to 100, showing great focus and confidence with numbers. In Literacy, the children proudly published their own books inspired by The Most Magnificent Thing – we are so impressed with their creativity and perseverance! We finished the week in the best way possible with a water splash park and a well‑earned ice lolly to cool down. Well done, Year 1 – you’ve worked incredibly hard this week! Have a brilliant weekend Miss Shuffle and Miss Dennant 💜

💜 Year 2 💜 Year 2 have had a fantastic 2 weeks and have been busy with lots of exciting learning and experiences! One of the highlights was our wonderful trip to the local fire station. The children had an amazing time learning all about the important role firefighters play in keeping our community safe. They explored the fire engines, tried on some of the equipment, and asked lots of thoughtful questions. It was a brilliant opportunity to bring our learning to life and learn more about the people who help us every day. Back in the classroom, the children have continued to work incredibly hard, showing enthusiasm, curiosity and kindness in everything they do. We are so proud of their positive attitudes and the progress they are making as we approach the end of another successful year. Well done, Year 2—you have been superstars! Have a wonderful weekend Miss Bailey & Mrs Eccleston

💜 Year 5 💜 What a fantastic week we've had in Year 5! In Literacy, we continued to immerse ourselves in the story of Macbeth, using our Rainbow Grammar knowledge to create sentences that effectively displayed character. In Reading, we have been enjoying Romeo and Juliet. In Maths, we worked hard to perfect our skills in using a protractor to measure and draw angles, as well as calculating angles around a given point. In Science, we planned our enquiry questions and are looking forward to carrying out our investigations next week. In Geography, we analysed the causes and effects of human threats on our oceans and discussed how our actions impact marine environments. In Computing, we used filtering tools within a database to answer specific questions efficiently. In DT, we explored a range of strengthening techniques and materials to support free-standing structures. A huge well done to all of the children for their fantastic effort during the Year 5 SATs—you have all been amazing, and we are incredibly proud of you! Have a lovely weekend, enjoy the sunshine, and we look forward to seeing everyone next week! ☀️ Miss Trussler & Miss T

💜 Year 4 💜 In Literacy, we have been using figurative language to describe what can be seen and then adding fronted adverbials in sound description. In Maths, we have been identifying angles and types of triangles. In Geography, we sorted human and physical features. Then we looked at the different locations we visited on our beach trip and wrote about them. In Science, we performed a test to answer questions: Is there a link between height and shoe size. We then collected our data as a class. Finally, finishing off with an assembly in the class celebrating the week! Have a wonderful weekend! Mrs Lark & Mrs Longthorne
