This week Reception have been focusing on report writing for our alien visitors! We had a think about what kind of animals the aliens would like to find out about and then thought about what we already knew about them. We went home and discussed our chosen animals with our parents before writing up our…
Year One have been coding this week using ‘Scratch’ to move a sprite (cat) around the screen! They listened and practised so well then created their own algorithm jigsaws (instructions) for the cat to follow. They had cats jumping on the bed, walking into the sea and finding different animals! Amazing. They also used secondary…
Children have been fortunate enough to have received a visit from Mary Anning this week. She delivered a workshop, which showed how she became a famous Palaeontologist (person who studied fossils). Children replicated her work by digging for the remains of some species. They asked very good questions and showed a superb understanding.
Year Two have really enjoyed learning about Stoke-on-Trent in the past. This photos shows the children exploring two maps of Baddeley Green: one from 2022 and one from 1950. They used two colours to highlight the similarities and differences before discussing their conclusions as a class.
Year Two is full of super scientists! We have been looking at animals and humans this term and the children loved exploring photos of themselves as babies and toddlers and pictures of their parents as children. They played a matching game and discovered that parents look like their offspring. We have also been learning about…
This week Year Three have been thinking like historians, asking questions and drawing conclusions about life in Ancient Egypt. They used pictures created to show what life was like using different sources of evidence. They asked some very interesting questions, spotted lots of clues and used their existing knowledge to understand further. Well done Year…

This week, Year Five have been delving deeper into their focused text ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ and learning more about the key characters Hiccup, Toothless and Snotlout. In order to connect with the emotions of each character, the children created freeze frames to portray the scene where the characters in the story accidently wake…
Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about different countries and adding information to our world map. We discovered that Handa from the story Handa’s Surprise lives in Kenya in Africa and one of the children in our class has relatives in Thailand. Following on from our walk this morning, we also…
