On Thursday it was World Book Day. We took part in a variety of different activities including describing our favourite book characters and reading our favourite books with our buddies on the school field, in the sunshine! Thank you to everyone who made some yummy treats, they all looked delicious and we loved spending time with our buddies.

21.03.25 Week in Review

admin on: Class 2

Good afternoon everyone, 

This week, I am going to start off with history. The class are experts at how the Great Fire of London started and why it lasted so long. The children thought about what should happen to the damaged areas of London and began to design new homes that would not pose the same risks as the old ones. They thought about the choice of materials and the spacing of the buildings to rebuild a safer and more modern London.

In maths, the class have enjoyed using various methods of working out to solve problems in various maths games and during our English lessons over the week, the children have drafted and wrote up a newspaper article about the Great Fire and include lots of facts and information that they have learned over the course of the half-term.

Thanks everyone, have a good weekend!

Mr. H.

Week ending 4.4.25

admin on: Class 3

Well, that's another term finished.  We ended on a high, with some lovely activities and lessons.

In Literacy, we have created a double page spread all about the Vikings.  The children have really enjoyed researching online and in books to add lots of facts and images to their work.  We have also been creating our Treasure bokes in DT.  This involved different skills, including using a net for the shape and scoring carefully.  They looked pretty amazing.  I science, we planted our beans.  I hope that they grow well in the spring sunshine.

We finished our afternoon off with a lovely Easter egg hunt in the grounds.  Everyone got an egg.  Try not to eat it all at once!

Have a lovely half term.

Be good and be careful.

Miss Watkins and team

Good afternoon everyone!

We hope you all have a wonderful Easter break and enjoy lots of special time together. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the good weather to continue!

The children across school had great fun this afternoon on an Easter egg hunt. They loved searching for their eggs beneath the beautiful blossom trees beside the playground. The weather was really kind to us all too. Thank you so much to FONS for the donation of the eggs; it really made this afternoon very special!

I have added some photos below of the egg hunt and also some photos taken whilst the children made the chocolate crispie buns last week. We linked the baking to our science by checking the temperature of the boiling water, the melted chocolate and melted butter too! We never miss an opportunity to link our learning!!

Have a super Easter!

See you all very soon,

Mrs Matthews and the class 4 team xx

We have managed to pack a lot into our final week of the term! 

West Yorkshire Fire Service visited us at the start of the week to talk about fire safety in the home. They gave us lots of top-tips to be prepared in case of an emergency, including making a plan in case of a fire, knowing where your keys are at night time and making sure our bedroom doors are closed when we go to bed. 

We had a practical Science lesson, trying to recreate what it feels like to enter old-age. We investigated what it would feel like to have impaired vision and hearing; reduced joint movement and less control of our fingers. Luckily, class 5 have a very long way to go before they need to start worrying about feeling like this (Mrs Kendal, not so much!). 

In English, we read The Lorax and noted the similarities between a children's book and what is happening in the real world. We had fun taking part in a conscience alley! 

To finish our topic work on The Ancient Mayan civilisation, we made a Mayan inspired dish and sampled our creations - receiving mixed reviews! 

To finish the week, we took part in a lovely Easter egg hunt in our beautiful school grounds, with the sun shining on us. Thank you to Dr Bamfield and the school government for such a lovely afternoon. 

It was lovely to see so many of you at this week's family sharing event. Thank you for coming - it was wonderful to see the children so proud of their work!

Have a wonderful Easter break! 

Love from Mrs Kendal x

Welcome back from the Easter  holidays.

We have had a lovely start to this short half term with a story called Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis.

It explores themes of empathy and caring the creatures in our environment and introduces the children to the concept of habitats.

In math's we have been working on combining small sets numbers of fruit and writing a number sentence. 

1+2=3

1+3=4

1+4=5

This was the first step for many. Have a go at home.

Art work we have been printing and adding features to the habitat of the Bog Baby.

In the woods we have been looking for mini beasts. You can do this at home and also try to identify the flowers around school as I don't know the names of some of these beautiful flowers.

Here are a few highlights.

Adding groups together

Trying healthy foods.

Looking for mini beats

Thank you for your support at home.

Mrs Oddy and the team.
