It was lovely to see the children dressed in their finest red outfits in support of Red Nose Day!

Well done everyone for support such a fabulous charity!

This week in the wildlife area, the girls managed to tie up the willow den and then spread a tarp over it – we are now okay if it rains!

Some of the children worked with Mrs Rowan and had a go at using a flint and steel to start a fire.  It was lovely to see how determined they were to…

Today we worked collaboratively to create a timeline showing all the events throughout the reign of Queen Victoria.

The children worked together to read the dates and then decided the position on the timeline.

The children are working incredibly hard with their rehearsals of ‘The Button Box’.  It is really coming on now and you are in for a treat!  Please can we have all costumes in on Monday (18th) so that we can check them all and make any alterations, if we need to.  Can they be brought in in a named…

On Thursday, we dressed up and had great fun for World Book Day, and created reviews of our favourite…

There were some fantastic costumes this year for World Book Day.  The children looked great and it looks like David Walliams is our most popular author.

During Golden time, the children are very passionate about getting the most out of our wildlife area. We were surprised by how much of the path and paved area had been covered by soil and weeds. The willow den is nearly finished and we started collecting and sorting wood into kindling and larger…

This week, we have started reading ‘Ice Palace’ by Robert Swindells.  The children wrote kenning poems to describe one of the characters from the book – he isn’t very nice!

It’s been a busy week again…

In Literacy, we’ve started to read our exciting, new class text, ‘Ice Palace’ by Robert Swindells. After reading the first few pages, we gathered ideas about how the language made us feel. We collaborated with our peers, and created a class poem by carefully…

It’s been a week of sharing our great practice! On Wednesday, five staff from the Enquire Learning Trust visited to carry out an Enquiry Walk in school, looking at children’s work, speaking with children, exploring the learning environment and seeing great teaching. They were very impressed with…
