Over the holidays the children were given an optional task of creating shadow puppets based on their learning from their science unit on light. This week we have watched all of the shadow puppet plays, it was fantastic to see all of the hard work that went into these. Well done! What a creative…

Year 3 and 4 have been investigating materials and using their comparison skills to determine whether they were solids, liquids or gasses. They then grouped the materials into vent diagrams looking at whether some materials could be categorised as both.

Year 1 and 2 children have been learning about animals and their habitats. One of our children very kindly brought in his hedgehog! This really helped bring our learning to life as we spoke about where a hedgehog would usually be found, why alit lived there, how it would be adapted to live there…

Reception have had lots of fun exploring the natural world around them. This week they looked at spiders and their webs. They then had a great time creating a spider web and trying to catch as many insects as possible. Super job everyone!

Class 3 have been taking part in some hands on science recently. Firstly, in our materials topic, we wanted to find out if we could inflate a balloon without blowing into it.  With the help of bicarbonate soda and vinegar we found we could. When the two substances were mixed we found that carbon…

We had a fabulous day, learning all about why we celebrate Bonfire Night. We completed lots of fun activities in our forest school area, the outdoor classroom and in our classroom environment. Our favourite activities included making breadstick sparklers, they tasted delicious! We loved making…

Key stage 1 have had lots of fun exploring microhabitats and finding out which minibeasts live in them. 
 

This week the assembly team performed their drama based around the story of Moses and the Burning Bush. They worked so hard on their performance which helped further enhance our understanding of what respect is and can mean to others.

In Science this week our investigation centred around identifying the best material to make curtains. We used our lux metres to measure how much light each material allowed through and then used the results to inform our decisions. We then evaluated how we would tweak our investigation next time.

On the 3rd October the PTFA had their AGM at school. It was really well attended by current members, new parents, Mr Wynn and Chair of Governors Helen Robertson.

Please find attached the minutes and the AGM presentation. 

Any questions about joining the PTFA or about our events please come…

Class 2 are busy starting their final projects in DT.  Today they drew their design onto their canvas and started to paint. We can’t wait to see their designs come to life!

We have worked hard on our scientific enquiry skills this afternoon investigating factors that affect our shadows. We created our own results table, recorded results and formed conclusions from these.
