We have started our gymnastic unit. Children have been learning how to perform a cat jump full turn. Over the course of this half-term, they will be learning other jumps, leaps, turns, travels and rolls before putting all of their learning together for a final performance.
The children have had a fabulous first week in Reception! They have settled in well, reconnected with old friends and made new friends and are eager to begin their next learning journey.
Not only did Year One impress during transition week, but they’ve impressed their new teachers on the return to school too! They’ve settled in to their new seats, solved tricky maths problems and worked together to learn the new classroom routines! Well done everyone! We can’t wait to see what you achieve this year! ⭐️
Year One have been expanding their computing skills by creating animated books. They used Purple Mash to create text and images and then added movement and sounds to their different pages. It took a lot of perseverance and skills relating to editing and saving too – well done to everyone! ⭐️

In pairs, Year Three planned a lesson in the subject of their choice and draw a mind map to ensure that everything was considered such as equipment, rewards, a starter and a consequence if children were not listening (just in case) to name […]
Year One have been designing salads for herbivores! 🥗 They had to learn about where the food items grew (above or below ground), taste test the salad ingredients, design their salad considering what the animal would eat and then make their salad using chopping, grating and peeling skills. Once made, the salad was evaluated with […]
Year Three have worked hard this afternoon to learnt about levers and linkage. They are currently making a waving hand mechanism. Look out for the finished product soon!
