Year 5 News
Fri 12 Sep 2025It has been test week in school this week so the children have been busy completing English and maths assessments. Next week we will be on our usual morning timetable with English and maths every morning. Every Friday, the children should come home with their spelling book which has the spellings they will be learning the following week and then tested on Friday morning. If they do not bring their book home, we will always post a picture of their spellings on the class news. Please encourage your child to learn their spellings, times tables and read three times at home.
In science, we have been learning about the shape of the Earth, the sun and the moon and why we have night and day. In topic, we looked at the different continents and the countries that make up North America.

Year 3 News
Fri 12 Sep 2025Great week again in year 3. It was test week this week so the children were beavering away each morning with their maths, SPAG and reading papers. Highlight of the week was in science, with our rock walk. Children have been geologists and have been discovering the names of different rocks and identifying them. We had our first Spanish lesson, which is taught by Senora Cress. The children loved learning another language and were fully engaged in it. P.E was Cosmic Yoga this week due to the weather and we continue to explore the Stone Age, learning about timelines and what humans were doing from the beginning of our time. P.E kits on Thursday and Friday next week please, have a great weekend.

Fri 05 Sep 2025It has been great to welcome everyone back into their new Year 6 classes this week. What a brilliant start to the year! We have been really impressed with how well everyone has settled in. We have created our class charter and in RE, we have been thinking about wisdom and what the 10 commandments might look like in today's modern world. We have also become familiar with a Greek myth called Theseus and the Minotaur, which will feature in our writing next week.
Have a great weekend.

Year 4
Fri 05 Sep 2025Year 4 have had a great first week of the academic year. We have done an entire unit on Music and spirituality as part of our RE topic this half term. We have looked at and compared songs in different religions and have considered why religious texts are used as a basis for songs. We have also had lessons throughout the week on our British Values and protected characteristics. As part of our new Topic on the Ancient Egyptians, we have also designed, made and painted our very own Egyptian Salt-dough plaques and have mummified a tomato as part of an experiment into the mummification process. Our PE days from next week until the end of the term will be on Monday and Thursday so please come dressed in PE kit on these days (Monday will be indoor PE and Thursday will be outdoor PE). Starbooks will start from next week and all the children have taken out a book from the library so please read at home a minimum of 3 times before next Friday. Have a restful weekend ahead of next week.

Year 6 News
Fri 18 Jul 2025On Tuesday, Year 6 enjoyed their end of year treat - a morning of laser tag and zorbing. It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and having fun. I think people spent most of the time on the floor in their zorb, rolling around!
On Thursday, the DAaRT graduation went really well. Our DAaRT officer and Year 5 enjoyed the sketches and information that was shared. The children really have worked hard on all aspects of the programme.
Well, there's only 1 more week to go with lots of fun things planned. Have a lovely weekend.
