Dear Parents and Carers, This year marks the 75th anniversary of VE (Victory in Europe) Day. Whilst current circumstance prevents us from going about our usual day-to-day lives, we still think it is possible to have a stay-at-home street party to celebrate this momentous occasion and bring a bit of fun to the community. Should […]
Year One have spent this week working on levers and sliders as part of their Design and Technology learning. They investigated lots of different books with moving parts, tested various levers and sliders, then created their own 3D houses in the style of 1666! Their levers then set their houses on fire and they evaluated […]
Year Three have had a fantastic time at Birmingham Museum. They enjoyed looking at the Egyptian artefacts in the morning. In the afternoon them became historians and examined artefacts closer, used cameras to take photos and pieced together broken amulets. As always their behaviour was impeccable.

Year One have created their own class band, singing their own rendition of ‘London’s Burning!’ They worked hard to listen to the beat, sing tunefully and even managed to sing it as part of a round which was very tricky to begin! Why not ask them to sing it to you tonight? 🎵
Year One have been computer wizards, finding out even more about the Great Fire of London through an amazing factual game! They had to help stop fires, pull down houses and work out how we know so much about the fire. They’ve also started to learn about Vlad the flea in English who survived the […]
Year Six have had a busy start to the new year. In line with our current topic, The Victorians, children have been sifting through real, Victorian censuses to gather data about people from the past. They used this information in a range of maths lessons, including objectives such as ‘calculating average as mean’ and ‘plotting […]
Year Four have settled back in with a busy January. In addition to being rock stars and working hard with learning our multiplication tables, we have proved that we are all successful bakers through our DT project when making a Roman bread roll. We have also experienced a super team challenge in building the HS2 […]
Here are the finished products from our Roman bakery. The children are currently tasting and evaluating the success of their finished designs. I think we’re all impressed with what we’ve produced from Roman ingredients.
