💜 Year 4 💜 This week, Year 4 have been busy exploring a range of exciting topics across the curriculum. In English, the children put themselves in the shoes of different characters as they wrote thoughtful and detailed diary entries, using their creativity to bring events and feelings to life. In Maths, we rounded off our learning on rounding by developing confidence in rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000. The children showed great determination and accuracy as they tackled a variety of challenges. Our Geography lessons focused on responsible trade, where we investigated the journey of chocolate from producer to consumer. The children were fascinated to learn how money is distributed among the people involved in making a chocolate bar and discussed what makes trade fair and responsible. We shed some light in science on how to incorporate switches into a simple circuit, reminding ourselves of the dangers that encompass electricity and how to keep ourselves safe. In PE, we continued to build our football skills with a focus on defending, working on positioning, teamwork and how to effectively stop an attack. Meanwhile, in Art, the children experimented with a variety of materials to create collages, exploring how different textures can add interest and detail to their work. To finish the week, our PSHE learning encouraged us to think about the environment and the positive impact our choices can have. We discussed simple changes to our everyday habits that can help care for our planet and make a difference over time. Mr Gook & Mrs Colwell 💜

💜 Nursery 💜 Another exciting week in Nursery! We have continued exploring the changing seasons and noticing the signs of autumn all around us. The children have enjoyed talking about what they can see outdoors and sharing their observations with their friends. In phonics, we played listening games and Sound Bingo, identifying a range of familiar sounds. The children also enjoyed guessing animals from clues and using their listening skills to work out the answers. In maths, we focused on finding pairs and spotting groups of two. The children enjoyed matching activities and searching for pairs both indoors and outdoors. Dough Disco helped us develop our fine motor skills as we rolled, joined and shaped playdough into different creations. The children's imaginations have been fantastic! We also enjoyed moving like leaves in the wind during our physical development sessions, twirling, floating and drifting around the space. Outside, the children had great fun exploring another area of our Nursery garden. They enjoyed riding the bikes and trikes, developing their coordination and balance, and challenging themselves on the climbing equipment. It was wonderful to see them building their confidence, taking turns and encouraging one another as they played. We also had our attendance treat this week - the House Captains from Year 6 came to read, sing and play with us! We had a great time thank you so much! We are so proud of the children's enthusiasm, curiosity and growing independence this week! Ms Gillings & Mrs Obree 💜

💜 Reception 💜 What a fantastic week we have had in Reception! 🌟 In Maths, the children have been exploring taller and shorter as well as more and less, using lots of practical activities to develop their understanding. We also started our new story, Full, Full, Full of Love, and enjoyed talking about the different ways we can show someone that we love and care for them. The children had great fun in PE, creating a range of animal balances and showing off their strength, balance and imagination. Another highlight was our first full library session, where the children loved exploring the books and choosing stories to enjoy. In Phonics, we have been learning the new sounds n, m, d and g and have been working hard to spot, hear and write them. Have a brilliant weekend! Miss Shuffle, Miss Tillett and Mrs Almeida 💜

💜 Year 1 💜 What another busy and brilliant week we have had in Year 1! The children have continued to impress us with their enthusiasm, confidence and fantastic attitude towards their learning. In Maths, we have been exploring the vocabulary fewest, least, most and greatest. We began by using practical resources to compare and order numbers before moving on to using a number line. We had another surprise waiting for us in the classroom this week! We arrived to find a bag of soil, some gardening gloves, a trowel and a mysterious letter from a very tired gardener! The children made some fantastic predictions about what could be growing before discovering it was a turnip! This led us into our new story, The Enormous Turnip. We have thoroughly enjoyed reading the story, joining in with repeated parts and acting it out together. In PE, we continued developing our sending and receiving skills through football. We practised kicking the ball accurately using the inside of our foot and worked hard to control our passes to a partner. In Computing, we developed our keyboard skills by learning how to use the Caps Lock key when typing our names. We then put our creative skills to the test by producing some very lifelike digital self-portraits! This week in Phonics, we have been assessing the sounds the children have been taught so far this term. It has been wonderful to see just how much they have learnt and, most importantly, how they are beginning to apply their phonics knowledge when reading. Please keep an eye out next week as some sound cards will be coming home for the children to practise. A little bit of regular practice at home really helps to build confidence and fluency. We have enjoyed listening to a variety of stories during our story times this week. If your child has a favourite book at home that they would like to share with the class, they are very welcome to bring it in for us to enjoy together. We were also delighted to have some children already reach our "Story Starter" milestone by reading 25 times! What a fantastic achievement. Keep up the brilliant reading at home! Have a lovely and restful weekend! Miss Pearce and Mrs Hay 💜

💜 Year 3 💜 This week in Maths, we completed our work on place value and have worked hard to develop our understanding and confidence with numbers. In Literacy, we proudly published our narrative writing based on Flood by Alvaro F. Villa. The children showed fantastic creativity and worked hard to produce their final pieces. In Science, we continued our learning about plants, focusing on seed dispersal and the different ways seeds travel to grow in new places. We also enjoyed a range of fun activities for TTRS Day! The children had a great time practising their times tables in different ways. Remember to keep playing Times Tables Rock Stars at home to help improve fluency and increase our chances of winning across KS2! 🎸 Finally, a huge well done to all of Year 3 for successfully delivering our first class assembly. The children confidently taught their peers about road safety and made us all very proud with their enthusiasm, knowledge and teamwork. Miss Coles & Mrs Eccleston 💜

💜 Year 2 💜 What a fantastic week we have had in Year 2! In Maths, we have been developing our counting skills by practising counting in 2s and 5s. The children worked hard to spot number patterns and improve their fluency. In Literacy, we used our imagination to write character and setting descriptions, before beginning our own exciting narratives. We have focused on including lots of detail to help bring our stories to life. In Science, we completed evaluations of our plant experiments. The children reflected on their results and explained what they had discovered about what plants need to grow and survive. In Religion & World Views, we learned about baptism and explored what this special ceremony means to Christians. In PE, we practised our throwing and catching skills, showing great teamwork, coordination and determination. Our highlight of the week was definitely TTRS Dress-Up Day! The children loved dressing up, taking part in the fun and challenging their friends on NumBots. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm for improving maths skills while having fun together. Well done, Year 2, for another week of hard work, perseverance and excellent learning. Have a lovely weekend! 🌟 Miss Bailey, Miss Clark and Miss Bow 💜

💜 Year 5 💜 What a fantastic week Year 5 have had! In Maths, we have been building our confidence with column addition and subtraction, whilst also exploring fractions through fun LEGO activities. The children showed great determination and problem-solving skills throughout. In PE, we enjoyed developing our hockey skills and finding moments of calm and focus during our yoga sessions. In Religion & World Views and PSHE, the children worked hard on preparing and delivering speeches about values and the human body, demonstrating thoughtful discussion and growing confidence when speaking in front of others. We also had a wonderful time celebrating TTRS Day, with some truly amazing costumes on display! It was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm for maths and learning. Well done, Year 5, for another brilliant week! Miss Ball & Mrs Longthorne 💜

💜 Year 6 💜 What a fantastic week we have had in Year 6! In Literacy, we have begun exploring images from The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, using our imagination to consider the stories behind the illustrations. We have also been analysing the key features of mystery stories, focusing on how authors create suspense and intrigue. In Maths, we have been adding and subtracting numbers with more than four digits using the formal column method, developing our accuracy and confidence with exchanging. In Reading, we have continued exploring Freeze, making in-depth inferences about the characters' thoughts, feelings and motivations, using evidence from the text to support our ideas. In Geography, we discussed migration and explored push and pull factors, considering the different reasons why people may leave one place and move to another. In Art, we experimented with a range of mixed-media techniques, exploring different materials and textures in preparation for creating our final pieces. Well done, Year 6, for another brilliant week of hard work, creativity and enthusiasm across the curriculum! Have a lovely, restful weekend, everyone. We look forward to another exciting week of learning! Miss Trussler, Miss Coleman & Miss T 💜
