This week Reception listened to a story about some children who needed to practise playing nicely together and taking turns. Following on from the story, the children went outside to learn some new playground games that they could play at playtime and dinnertime. They played Soldiers and Sausages, Skittles, Duck, duck, goose and What’s the…
What a fantastic day we had at Manchester Airport! The children created their own passports and checked in on the Monarch DC10 where they had the opportunity to climb in the cockpit and use the pilots controls. We learnt about the different parts of the aeroplane and the roles of different people in the airport…
This half term in Year Five, our P.E. has been focused on athletics. We have been training in a range of events from the sprint to the egg and spoon. Each week the children have been implementing their maths skills to record their times/scores and taking a weekly average.
Year One have been using maps, atlases and globes to locate where they live in the world! We know that the UK is made up of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and we have studied the seas that surround the UK. We have also found out more about climates all over the world, learning that…
This week the children have had a selection of paint and using thin paintbrushes have been working very hard to paint a picture of a train. We had some lovely designs and lots of rainbow coloured trains, we were so impressed with their concentration while they completed their paintings. Well done Nursery!

This week, Year Five have begun their DT project on mechanical systems. Their stimulus is to focus on fun fair rides and how they have changed between the past and present.
