We have a new Self-Registration board in Nursery.

This helps us to recognise our name and makes us feel part of the team in Nursery.

When we come in each day we find our name on the fruit and add it to Handa's basket.

All of the children have really been enjoying exploring this lovely…

WHAT IS DNA?

The chemical structure of everyone's DNA is the same - the only difference is the order of the base pairs. There are so many millions of base pairs in each person's DNA that every person has a different sequence

No two fingerprints in the world are exactly alike. Everybody has at least 150 individual ridge characteristics on each fingerprint.

Forensic scientists and detectives take advantage of this when solving crimes. Our hands are constantly producing sweat and oil – even on our fingertips.…

Our topic this half term is 'Allotment'. We used maps to locate our local allotment and some children were lucky enough to visit their own family allotments and take photos. In school, we visited our vegetable garden and discussed what we can do to bring it back to life!  

We then thought about…

This afternoon, as part of our Power of Reading session, we had a go at drawing pictures of Handa from the story Handa's Surprise.

After we had drawn our first pictures we thought about what we could do to make them look even better.

We then had another go and I am sure you will agree our…

We have been having a lovely time shopping at Sainsbury's oooppps I mean Roseberry's.

We have looked carefully at the prices and found the right coins to pay for our shopping.

For some of the prices we had to think about our number bonds and our addition skills to work out which coins we…

This week, we started work on our new topic 'Allotment'.

We began by using maps to locate our local allotment and taking pictures. 

We then thought about vegetables which are grown locally and in season and we designed and made healthy vegetable soup - delicious!

Finally, we used our art…

Year 1 have had a super start to this half term.  We have started our new topic of Rio de Vida.  It’s started with looking at the carnival celebration in Brazil and why it so important to the Brazilian people. We listened to some Samba music and watched some of the parades, to see all the…

What a busy week Year 2 have had!

Our new topic is ‘Scented Garden’, and when we returned after our holiday, we discovered a magic beanstalk had grown in our classroom!

On Wednesday, Mrs Ward brought in some of her carnivorous plants, and some cacti.  We set up an experiment to see what…

A brilliant start to our new topic! The children visited a virtual aquarium on Monday and researched a sea creature of their choice. They then sketched their animal and recorded the facts that they had learned. Super proud of what they produced!

We have been very busy in the Art & Design Area creating drawing, paintings and even some collages of different coloured fruits and vegetables.  We used our pictures to build a food rainbow.  We think it looks amazing on display outside our classroom.

During our Phonics session today we were looking at things that begin with the m sound.  Our favourite was the mouse who wriggled and jiggled all over the table when his tail was pulled.

We tried to balance him on our heads, he was very tickly.
