This morning we found something disgusting in our classroom. Somebody left a big bowl of frogspawn. Inside of it were lots of clues as to what our class story will be. There was a hare, a cat, a donkey and an animal we've never seen before. We still don't know what our new book will be but we hope…

Year 6 have been getting their balances on this week as they explored making shapes and balances with four, three, two and even one point of contact but not just on the floor but on the equipment as well!

Year 1 continued their Toy Story dances. Part of the lesson was to consider our facial expressions and body language for when we fall out with a friend and then make up.

Year 5 have been learning how to write Haiku. These are a type of Japanese poetry that have seventeen syllables, five in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the final line. We wrote our poems about space as we have been learning about this in science.

Year 2 have had a fantastic afternoon making faces out of fruit. We have looked at the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo and used his work as inspiration. The children had fantastic discussions and worked really well as groups. Lots of fun and laughter was had!

We have been working really hard this week on our partitioning. We have been using concrete materials to split whole numbers into parts and then even showing it by drawing too.

Year 2 had a fabulous PE lesson with Mr Lofthouse. Using a range of different balls the children were passing and stopping the ball with their feet, using the inside of their foot to pass the ball. It was a great way to start a Tuesday!

What a peaceful and prayerful week back Year 6 have had.  First we celebrated the Mass of Epiphany in the Cathedral on Tuesday and on Wednesday, as part of pour class Celebration of the Word we explored how we could share the Light of the World - Jesus with others.

Today, Year 4 started their electricity topic by exploring how to use wires and batteries to make a bulb light up. They worked cooperatively to problem-solve and created simple circuits that made their lamps light up. Great work, Year 4!

This week, children in Year 4 showed amazing cooperation skills when they worked in groups of four to create sequences showing matched and mirrored balances, rolls and different ways of travelling. They listened well to each other's ideas and everyone joined in with their group to produce some…

Year 3 have been enjoying making 3D shapes out of the magnets! We looked at all the different 2D shapes we need to make them into 3D ones.

In Year 1, we do lots of counting and thinking about numbers. This week we have been representing numbers using base 10, finding numbers on a 100 square and ordering numbers. Counting is a great activity to support your child’s learning, this can be done in any location; sat in the car, at home or…
