In maths this week the children have been identifying 'more' and 'less' between groups. We used objects, pictures and numbers to develop and expand our knowledge. The children have then challenged themselves by changing amounts to make 'more' or 'less'. 

We were super at using the correct…

Today in reception we have been exploring the snow and discussing the process of freezing and melting. We think that the snow and ice will melt because the sun is out. We will check back later to see if we are correct!

Today in literacy we have been focusing on forming the letters c, an and o. We began by tracing the letters before having a go at forming them ourselves. This is a real focus currently as the children are building up to being able to write captions and full sentences. We love writing in reception!

Today the children have started their new topic of properties of materials, starting at the very beginning of this we have investigated the differences between solids, liquids and gases right down to their particles.

Year 1 took part in their DT day where they created a final project of ‘fabric faces’.

They learnt  how to join fabrics, cut fabrics and created their own design.

everybody had a great day and really enjoyed learning something new.

It has been a great first week back, it has been lovely to hear all about the children's break and what they have been getting up to. This week we have been settling back into our routines and recapping learning from last term. 

In maths we have been looking at numbers 0-4, we have recognised…

Today we became scientists today and investigated the question ‘Which material is the best reflector?’ We tested materials such as foil, plastic, glass, card and fabric. After testing using torches we discovered foil is the best at reflecting because it reflected the most light as it was smooth,…

Today we had lots of fun during our first Forest School session. We used sticks to create our very own pictures frames. We used string to attach the sticks together and worked hard to tie the string and make knots. Once completed we took pictures using our frames. We can’t wait for next weeks…

We launched the Red2Blue initiative in school today. In Reception, we discussed what it means to have a 'red head' and a 'blue head'. We read the story 'My Monster and Me' and discussed ways that we can move from a red head to a blue head. We used a blue crayon to draw things that make us feel…

After reading the story ‘Small Things’ we created our own storyboard and diaries as if we were the main character. We spoke about how he might be feeling and gave him advice on what to do to become happier and calmer. 

Today we lauded our Red2Blue initiative in school. This is about recognising when we’re in a ‘Red head’ feeling stuck, pressured or worried and how to get back into the ‘Blue head’ feeling content, determined and confident. We looked at the story ‘Small Things’ and created our own art based on the…

Year 6 completed some art using Zentangle patterns to show the complexities within the human mind as we work towards building resilience when moving from our Red to our Blue head during trickier times.
