Year Four have been carrying out a fair test to find out how sound travels best. They made the decisions on which aspects to keep the same, including the distance from the sound source, the noise made and the number of taps or scrapes as they tested a range of objects and materials. They then…
To supplement our science topic, ‘Living Things and their Habitats’, Year Six have been up the woods to find species, including arachnids, annelids, molluscs and insects. We photographed the species using the iPads and will be using the photographs to draw other comparisons in future lessons.
Today, Reception were very lucky and had a visit from a mermaid! Her name was Mermaid Hannah and she had a beautiful tail! She told us that she lives in a shell palace under the sea with her friend Oceana. She explained to us that she went to school under the sea and answered lots…
Year One have had a great week exploring many different areas of the curriculum! From identifying and classifying trees and plants in the (rather muddy) woods to building Sukkah’s as part of their RE work on Sukkot to investigating number and ordering from smallest to greatest and vice versa, they’re really impressing their teachers!

Reception have been channeling their inner zen by performing a wide range of yoga poses alongside some mindfulness colouring. The children are loving these weekly sessions and here you can see them practising the warrior and boat positions.

They have worked their way around the ‘vibration stations’ to explore drums with rice, tuning forks in water, slinky’s and string and guitar strings. During their exploring, they made observations on what they could see, hear and feel. They then used their…

By working together, they eventually found all of the numbers and successfully ordered them on the forest floor. Look at how proud they all…
