Imaginary Lands in Year 1

In English we have been exploring settings.  The children made up their own places and described them.  Which place would you like to go to ? ‘The trees are tall and bushy.  The clouds are fluffy like a cat.  The forest is very warm and welcoming.  There is a path that leads to the sea.’ […]

Girls Football Festival

On Thursday, selected girls from Year 3 and 4 took part in a Girls Football Festival which took place at Sutton Primary Academy. The festival was based around taking part and having fun rather than being competitive. The girls played small-sided games, with the focus being dribbling and finding space. They enjoyed this as it […]

Reception Visit the Farm

Reception enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre! The children had such a lovely time and were SO well behaved! We enjoyed handling chicks, guinea pigs and a turtle! We also got to meet rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, donkeys, ponies, alpacas, ducks, swans, pheasants, geese and lots and lots […]

Going to the Library in Nursery

This week in Nursery the children have taken a little walk down to the Museum and Resource Centre down the road where the Library currently is. The children enjoyed listening to stories read by the staff there and then had a look at all of the children’s books on offer and chose some to look […]

Experiments in Year 1

This week in Year 1 we investigated what happened when we added water to a plate with skittles on. We found out that when the water was added, the food colouring dissolved and the colours made a beautiful rainbow. After this, we were full of questions… “What would happen if we used different sweets?” “Would […]

Explorers in Nursery

The Nursery children enjoyed visiting the Eco garden to become mini explorers, on the hunt to find some minibeasts. They used magnifying glasses and searched high and low, looking under rocks, logs and leaves, finding lots of woodlice, beetles, ants, flies and snails. We found evidence of caterpillars when we saw some leaves that had […]

Mini Beasts in Nursery

We have really enjoyed learning about mini beasts in Nursery! This week we have been busy exploring different media to create our favourite creepy crawlies, paying close attention to their features and patterns. This has given us a lot to talk about as we have discussed the differences and similarities between these little critters and […]

Farms in Nursery

Nursery have been busy creating farm animals using different media, looking and thinking carefully about their different features. They had great fun making ‘muddy’ animal footprints and tractor tracks and equally enjoyed giving the animals a wash after! We’ve also been making the most of the beautiful weather, having lots of fun outside.

Fairies in Reception

Reception have enjoyed a wonderful and magical ‘fairy’ themed week.  We have shared fairy stories and have performed fairy dances incorporating our colourful wings! The children also had a fantastic time whilst going on a (very glittery!) fairy hunt around the school, reading clues that led them to the next location.  Once completed, everyone received […]

Frank and Bert in Year 1

On our curious quests this week we have been reading a book about great friends called Frank and Bert.  We have been learning how to use exclamation marks.  We drew the characters and wrote exclaiming sentences!
