Researching Explorers in Year 4

As part of our History topic Year 4 have been studying different explorers. We have already looked at Christopher Columbus and this week we looked at Amelia Earhart. We played detectives, studying newspaper articles about her to find out some amazing facts, sharing our ideas with the rest of the class and writing up the […]

Life Cycles in Year 1

In Science in Year 1, we have been learning about life cycles of different animal groups and talking about the huge changes that happen to frogs and caterpillars in particular, as they grow into adults. We learnt that this is called metamorphosis! Along with our learning, we have been really lucky to watch our very own […]

Hedgehog Research in Year 3

Year 3 have received an interesting letter from the mysterious Bebop and Jelipher. The letter was hard to understand but the children found out that the visitors thought that Hog Hedges (hedgehogs!) were very dangerous animals. The children then had to research facts about hedgehogs and create an information sheet ready to send back to […]

Truss Bridges in Year 5

In Year 5 we have been busy creating our very own Truss Bridges. We had to cut, shape, join and finish accurately. It took much longer than we thought to create them. This week, once they were all finished we tested the weight they could carry. They were so much stronger than we imagined! We […]

Jack and the Beanstalk in Nursery

To link in with our focus story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, the children have been practising their cutting skills by cutting out leaves to create a beanstalk. They’ve enjoyed re-enacting the story using the story characters and props.

What is Art in Year 1

Signs of Spring in Nursery

We went on a lovely walk around the school grounds yesterday looking for signs of spring. The children walked in pairs with a clipboard and checklist of things they might see. They did a great job of spotting all the new life around school and in the eco garden.  We found blossom, flowers, buds, green […]

Science Week in Year 1

Year 1 kicked off their Science Week with a visit from Tim Kaye from Cultivating Learning and Nature.  They examined creatures found in our pond including tadpoles and leeches and then explored creatures found on land such as shiny woodlice and some impressive worms.   We had a fantastic time and learned a lot. 

Science Week in Nursery

This week in Nursery we have become Scientists investigating magnets, creating colour changing ‘walking water’ and changing the colour of flowers. We have discovered which objects float and sink and had a go at the ‘skittles experiment’. We were also lucky enough to have a visitor come and help us find different creatures (minibeasts and […]
