Introducing protractors in Year Five
We’ve been working very hard on using protractors within our maths learning. For most children, this was their first time at using protractors and they’ve done a super job at measuring angles up to 180 degrees. As we move forward this week, we will explore drawing precise angles of our own using a protractor.
Levers in Year One
We’ve completed our Design and Technology unit by adding leavers to set our houses alight like in London in 1666! 🔥 We had to design the lever considering how it would move, create a list of things that we would need and then make and evaluate our work, thinking about how we could improve them […]
Year Four artists

Filtering and separating materials in Year Five
In our science lessons, we have continued to look closely at the properties of different materials. This week, we investigated separating materials once they have dissolved or been mixed into a solution. We looked closely at filtering to help us to separate the materials.
Amazing maths in Reception
Reception have been counting, recognising and counting on using numbers to 20.
Bakers in Year One

We loved tasting the bread and of course we remembered to turn off the oven unlike the […]
Year One’s Instructions
In English we’re investigating instructions as part of our learning. We’ve spotted different features such as a title, numbers to order, a ‘you will need’ list with bullet points and noticed that they were bossy, using bossy verbs (imperative verbs) to begin. We’ll be baking bread and writing our own instructions next week! 🌟
Shelters in Year Two
Year two received a message from children in Zambia this week! They asked the year twos to help them to design, build and evaluate a shelter to keep them safe from The Enormous Crocodile. The children set out to find examples of shelters in the school grounds in preparation for designing and building next week.
