Reaching high for the best for your child

Mystery Motor Skills

This half term in Nursery, we have introduced ‘Mystery Motor skills' as part of our morning routine. The children have enjoyed jumping, balancing along beams, climbing through tunnels and throwing and catching beanbags!

Science, DT and Mental Health

This week we have completed a range of activities to end off this half term. At the start of this week, we were reminded of the importance of staying active and how this can help our brains. We took part in a workshop about expanding our brains through exercise and considered what we do to help our brains grow. Then, we completed our science topic on sound by putting together everything we had learnt about how sound is created to make our own musical instruments. We had to consider what sound we wanted it to make and how the sound would be made. At the end of the session we performed in our very own class orchestra, using the instruments we had made. Later in the week we completed our sewing projects. The final touches were added to our purses and we put on either a button or a popper to fasten them. Finally, in English we have been using persuasive techniques to write about a dream holiday destination and all the amazing wonders that it might have to offer it's visitors. After all that hard work, we are definitely ready for half term next week - perhaps in one of our dream locations!

Super Scientists!

Today, Year 6 celebrated the end of their 'Heartbeat' topic with a riveting pig heart dissection which they were both nervous and excited for. This activity allowed them to see all their learning about the heart in the flesh and explore the four chambers. The children were fantiastic scientists and they were able to describe each part of the heart in thorough detail which greatly impressed all the adults!

What a busy half term!

This term the children have been working incredibly hard! We have been learning about People Who Help Us. The children have really enjoyed this topic and have met lots of amazing people. We met the school cooks, a real life lollipop lady, a librarian and we got to explore our school and meet some of the staff who help us every day.

PE in Year 2

During PE this term, we have been exploring and developing basic gymnastic actions on the floor and by using the aparatus. They have been working on their skills of jumping, rolling, balancing and developing an awareness when creating sequences which included the use of shapes, levels and directions.

Library Visit

We went to the library!

We walked out of school and through the town to the library. We looked at some pictures of what we would find along out way. We spotted Aldi, the silver sphere, Noodle stop, primark and a cafe.

Children's Mental Health Week

Last week we was Children's Mental Health Week. In Nursery, we focused on feelings and the children were brilliant at identifying their own feelings and beginning to work out how others might be feeling from their expressions or behaviour.

Taskmaster Week 3

This week, the children have been learning about advocacy. They considered the terms negligence, duty of care and damages, all while advocating for a claimant and a defendant. The children then had to have representatives to stand up in front of a judge guest to put forward their arguments.
The scores will be in next week.
