Year 1 had great fun measuring different objects with the scales.

This half term, Year 4 are enjoying the book 'The Firework Maker's Daughter' by Philip Pullman. Today, we read the chapter where Lila struggles to climb the mountain to visit Razvani, the fire fiend. The children created their own freeze frame to show what happened to Lila during the journey. Ask…

Building on last week's introduction to simple circuits in our electricity topic, this week, children in Year 4 investigated how to make a switch for a circuit using a few simple materials. Our electricity learning links to this term's DT project as the children are going to design and make their…

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!
