Fantastic work in science this afternoon investigating whether materials were conductors or insulators. We recorded results and used these to explain the science behind our findings. Ask us at home which materials are conducting.

Class 1 have explored the question, ‘What are the features of fruit?’ They have researched to find out where fruit grows and how long it takes to grow. Observed to see what the outer skin and inside of fruits look like, including finding the seeds. Then finally, they had great fun trying the…

During our forest school sessions we have started looking at winter birds in Britain and tried to identify them.  We have also had a go at weaving birds nests which proved quite tricky. The children have shown lots of interest in participating in the big bird watch, so it will be interesting to…

Today in science we were making predictions about circuits.

We had to use our prior knowledge to predict what would happen if we added an additional bulb to the circuit. We then used this knowledge to make predictions about other circuits.

What a fantastic day at Tamworth Castle.

We became archaeologists for the morning and uncovered artefacts. We had to determine what time period they were from and what they might have been used for.

Then in the afternoon, we acted in role as the different Saxon leaders discovering how the…

Congratulations to our children who took part in the Tamworth Primary Schools indoor athletics event at Rawlett recently.  They all took part in a number of running, jumping and throwing events to collect as many points as possible. Miss Jennings’s and I were really impressed with their athletic…

In English we have been reading the story Katie in London. The children have thoroughly enjoyed the story as it has linked with our Geography topic, the UK. We have spent some time talking about London and discussing the different landmarks.

In our English lesson today the children have had…

Children in year 4 and 5 have started their playground leader awards this week with Stoke City. The training will help children to have the knowledge and confidence to set up and lead sports activities at lunchtime. They will have the opportunity to develop many leadership skills such as…

Wow! I am so proud of our Class 2 dodgeball team.

We played brilliantly and worked so well as team.

Some great skills were shown and great sportsmanship!

Well done!

Reception went on a shape hunt around the school 5th found lots of circles, rectangles and squares. It was slightly harder to find triangles but the children spotted them in places such as on signs or on our door code box. Great work Reception!

Class 2 have started their new Science topic, electricity. They have looked at the scientific skills of identifying, grouping and classifying, plus recording data.  Well done everyone for a great start to the topic!

This term, Class 3 has stated a unit of work on coding.  Each person in the class has been given their own micro bit !  The micro bit is capable of recognising sounds, temperature, speed and even magnetism.  Like all computers, it will not work unless it is programmed accurately. That is where…
