Thu 20 Jan 2022It has been a busy week in Year 6. We have explored different types of poetry in English and have written our own poems about war. In maths, we have continued our work on fractions. We have been dividing fractions and finding fractions of amounts. In topic, we have been exploring the events that caused World War Two to happen and questioning what could have been done differently to prevent it. In science, we have been using classification keys to group animals according to their features.

Year 4 Latest News
Thu 20 Jan 2022It certainly has been interesting in Year 4. We have missed many of our children and hope they are making a speedy recovery. For those of us in school, we have started a new English unit called Spy Fox, which the children have loved and have interviewed witnesses of Dr Hammer's terrible crimes! In Topic and Reading sessions, we have learned more about mountains and have set up an evaporation experiment in Science. We hope to be back to full strength next week and are looking forward to seeing you all. Have a good weekend.

Fri 14 Jan 2022This week, we have started our mountains topic and welcomed a special visitor into school. His name was Nigel Vardy and he is part of Bear Grylls' Project X, which focuses on inspirational people who have overcome difficulties and achieved. He is a climber and mountaineer. During one of his expeditions in Alaska, disaster struck and he developed frostbite, leaving him with injuries that he had to overcome. He told his story and kept everyone mesmerised. We have also learned that there are mountains in the United Kingdom and have started our art project based on mountains and the artist Nicholas Roerich.

Year 6 Latest News
Mon 10 Jan 2022What a way to start the new term! In preparation for our whole school trip to the theatre, we learnt about playscripts and how they are used, acted out parts from a Robin Hood play, explored different theatres from around the world and learnt about the history of pantomime and what to expect at the theatre. We also completed a maths investigation where we planned a trip to the pantomime and worked out how much it would cost just to send Year 6! It was quite an eye-opener. All this was followed by the amazing Robin Hood pantomime at the Theatre Royal. It was a brilliant show and we all loved it.

Year 5 Latest News
Fri 17 Dec 2021We have had a really busy week in Year 5. In RE, we have been thinking about peace and why Christmas is a time of peace. We thought about what our ideal world would be like and what our ideal Christmas day is like. On Tuesday, we enjoyed a visit from two local police officers, who told us about their job and we were able to explore the police van and try on pieces of the uniform. Some of the children were put in handcuffs and Mia scared us all when she turned on the siren! We hope you enjoyed our Christmas sing-a-long. The children sang beautifully and we are really proud of them.
We all hope you have a lovely Christmas. Stay safe. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
