Fri 27 Feb 2026Well done to everyone on a fabulous first week back!
This week we have completed our learning of Algebra in maths, applying our knowledge of formula and equations to reasoning and problem solving. It has been tricky at times but we have been extremely resilient in our learning.
In English we had a big debate about whether or not the work of Alan Turing should have led to the immediate end of world war 2, or were they right to keep his work secret. The children had some great ideas, shared their opinions respectfully and maturely and considered things from others points of view. This will help hugely when we write our own balanced arguments.
We had an interesting Blitz online workshop on Thursday afternoon and have begun our designs for our moving vehicles in DT.
In PE we have begun a unit on dance and started out with dance battles to help our confidence!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Carmichael & Miss Ottowell

Fri 27 Feb 2026We hope you all had a lovely half term holiday. It was great to see all the children on Monday after a week off. This week, we have begun researching tropical rainforests ready for our non-chronological report writing in English. In Science, we looked at the life cycle of an amphibian and in Geography, we looked at where rainforests are located around the world.
Please see the spelling list for next week. Your child should come home with these in their spelling book and a spelling sheet with handwriting for them to complete. This is due next Friday.

Fri 27 Feb 2026Year 3 have had a great first week back! They have worked hard to continue their understanding of length and perimeter in Maths and writing instructions in English. They have really enjoyed starting to think about nutrition in science and have all got a good understanding of what a balanced diet looks like. The children are really excited to be continuing to learn about the Romans in our deeper topic of Roman Britain in history.

Fri 13 Feb 2026We have had a busy last week of half term - where has the time gone?
We completed and published our biography of Anne Frank, the work the children produced was fantastic! We have begun our research into Alan Turing and the Engima code in preparation for writing a balanced argument after the break.
In Maths, we have been learning about algebra, creating formula and equations and applying this to reasoning and problem solving.
We had a busy day on Tuesday for Internet Safety Day where we learnt about AI and how to stay safe and wary of the digital world around us. Feel free to re watch the BBC live lesson online!
Our afternoons have been filled with RE where we have been learning about Judaism, the religious celebrations and how Jewish people were discriminated against during WW2.
Children will be bringing home their Sats revision guides this evening. Please support your child with their learning at home using these resources and make sure that no books are written in. Let us know if you require any paper and pencils for working from home. These should be a great help in the run up to Sats.
Have a great half term break and stay safe!
Miss Carmichael & Miss Ottowell.

Fri 13 Feb 2026Thank you to all the parents and carers who came in for our RE workshop. It was so lovely to have so many of you attend. This week, we have focused on RE and what it means to be a Christian. On Thursday, we had a special visitor from Capital One who is a risk analyst and spoke to the children about how they use maths in the real world. Following a whole school assembly, Year 5 worked with Andrei to explore how different professions use maths in the workplace and for their hobbies.
