As part of our RE learning about special places, Reception visited the local church in Milton, where we went in a treasure hunt to find lots of the special features that you might find in a Christian church. The children thoroughly enjoyed the visit and learned lots of new facts.
During Our recent RE lesson, we thought about the symbolism of water. The children wrote words to describe water and then washed some of them away. We learnt that Christians use water for baptism because it has many different symbolic meanings. Over the next few weeks we will remember this work when looking at examples […]
Year One have been doubling and learned that when we double we add the same amount again! We spotted a pattern, noticing that when we added 1+1, 2+2, 3+3… that the numbers went up in 2s which we’ve also been counting in. We put our skills to the test with a range of games – […]
Year Five have now completed their current art unit where they have been inspired by ‘The Sun’ created by Edvard Munch. Throughout the unit, they have worked in the medium of oil pastels practising their blending using the colour wheel. They have produced a range of fantastic pieces and went to peer-evaluate them.
Year Three have loved exploring their new text, ‘The Stone Age Boy’ this week. They have enjoyed participating in some drama activities to help them to understand the events and characters in the story. They worked in groups to freeze frame different events, considering the thoughts of their characters. They also sequenced the events by […]
Year Two have been growing plants together this year. Recently, they planted their own sunflower seeds and hope to grow huge sunflowers based on everything they have learnt over the last two years of science. Who will grow the tallest? Mr Mellor has put his sunflowers in some strange places, such as the cupboard and […]
This week the children have been practising their reading and writing skills, they have been segmenting and blending lots of words and even trying to write them. They enjoyed searching for the words with a partner, taking it in turns to sound them out and write them independently. We are so proud of your fantastic […]
In Science, we have been learning all about our senses! We used different body parts – our 👀 👂 👅 👃 and 🙌 – and tested how well they worked! We had to count balls being thrown using our eyes (with a sneaky 🙊 hidden), sniff pots (with stinky vinegar in!), listen carefully outside to […]

They are focusing on, not just the recognition of the numbers to 20 but also the composition of those numbers. By using ten frames and numicon shapes, the children are gaining a deep understanding of what makes each number. Well […]

This morning, we have written kennings poems all about ourselves, including our hobbies, skills and favourite things. We then performed them to the rest of the class and found out lots of new things […]
