Parnts often ask us, ‘how can I enrich the experiences I have with my my child when I play with them at home?’ This picture is a great example of how it can be done. Whenever we place ourselves into a child’s play we ask ourselves three questions: Is there an opportunity here to make conversation?, is there an opportunity here to be mathematical and is there an opportunity here to mark-make (draw or write words, sentences and numbers) How would you apply these ideals to this situation? Post your ideas in the comments section. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Wearing a hat is not only fashionable, stylish and fun; but it also draws attention to the head and brain tumours, a devastating and at times ‘invisible disease’. And what a range of hats adorned the heads of Year 1 and 2 today as we took part in ‘Wear A Hat Day’, raising money for Brain Tumour Research. It was good to see so many of you taking part. Well done and thank you for your donations 🤠 🎩 🧢 👒👑🎓

It was lovely to see lots of parents today at our Family Fun Day, your children were so excited to see you and show you what they like doing in Nursery. Thank you! 

This afternoon, the children have been learning how to use the internet safely and efficiently to research ‘heroes’ from history.  They’ve learnt about how some websites pay to have their pages at the top and that they aren’t always reliable. 

 

A new new site that they did learn about, which is great for researching on, is KidRex!  This is a child friendly search engine that they can use.  

 

Check it out!

 

 

 

 

A huge thank you to all the people who came to our Family fun afternoon. We had a fantastic time making cards, making cakes and playing in our wonderful garden. We hope you all enjoyed spending some time in school with us. We really do appreciate your support and the children so enjoy having you in! Happy weekend everybody! 

Year 5 have been working hard over the last two afternoons creating space art. We chose our paper and images and then used either oil pastels or chalk to create our masterpieces! 

Year 4 had a busy afternoon with their SOLE books sticking in science work and reflecting on our learning.

Year 6 have shown incredible engagement with the fascinating topic of World War II. We have been investigating how light travels through periscopes that children made whilst learning about the Battle of the Atlantic. Pupils have also investigated which cities were targeted in bombing raids and why.

We had a glorious afternoon in the wonderful garden yesterday afternoon. Have a look at some of the play and learning that we got up to...

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our family fun event in Nursery and Reception. Please come and join us from 2-3 for some food, craft and fun. We hope to see lots of you then!
