Year 6 News
Fri 19 Sep 2025Everyone has been working really hard in their Maths and English groups this week. We have read a range of Greek myths and we have identified the main features of these. In Maths, we have been working on place value, which has involved identifying the value of digits and rounding numbers.
We created timelines to show key events from the Ancient Greek era in History and in Science, we found out about Thomas Edison and his inventions.
Below, are next week's spellings.

Year 3 News
Fri 19 Sep 2025We are now getting into the normal school routine in year 3. We have now started our first English lesson and our first Maths lesson, with the children making excellent starts in both. Our phonics and spellings groups are now in action each morning and I have included the spelling words we are learning below. The children have coped very well with being inside mid-week due to the torrential rain and luckily P.E lesson went ahead on the sunnier days. In music we examined Space Oddity by David Bowie in detail and revisited place value in maths and started writing expanded noun phrases in English. We had a special guest in on Friday and the children were excited about meeting an athlete and learning about the future lesson they will be doing.

Fri 12 Sep 2025This week has been test week and the children have focused in these really well. In the afternoons, we started a new PE unit on dance, and have learnt to count in beats and follow choreography in time. We have also started our new History topic on Ancient Egypt and have focused on looking into why the Egyptians chose to settle by the River Nile and how it was a vital source for them. In our reading sessions, we have been practising our vocabulary and retrieval skills in texts about the Geography of Egypt and Egyptian Mythology. In Science, as part of our unit on animals including humans, we have been learning about the organs in our digestive systems and their role in digestion. In computing, we have been looking into effective searching when using search engines to try and find specific information. Next week we will begin our English unit on Instructions and Maths lessons on number and place value. You will receive a set of spellings to practise for our weekly spelling test. We also test our times tables on a Friday so keep practising at home too. Have a great weekend.

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.

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.
