Year 5 - French
In this French lesson, the children began by learning the names of different locations around school. They revised familiar phrases for saying their name, age and where they live then compared and contrasted British and French schools. The main focus was using the phrase ‘Je suis dans’, meaning ‘I am in’ and ‘Il/elle est dans’, meaning ‘he/she is in’.
Year 1 Science: Live Lesson with Steve Backshall for Oceans Week
Yesterday, Year 1 joined a live lesson with Steve Backshall to learn about the fish that live in the oceans. He was at the National Marine Aquarium and went underwater with his camera! We were able to see lots of different fish, eels, crabs and even small sharks. We learnt lots of amazing facts about the fish and he also told us about the importance of looking after the environment so that rubbish does not go into the oceans.
Year 6 Junior Jam - Music
Year 6's new music unit is all about electric drums. Today, the children learned that drums are one of the most important aspects of music, as they help to keep all of the other instruments in time with each other. They learned that drum kits are made up of lots of different types of drums, for example: kick, snare and hi-hat drums. The children then had a go at playing a set of electric drums with a partner.

Reception - RE
This week we learnt about Psalms and how we can sing prayers to God. We read the Clever Cub story ‘Sing to God’ and the children drew pictures of things they would like to sing about as a way to say thank you to God and what we are thankful for.
Reception - PSHE - A growth mindset
Today we revisited the idea of ‘bouncing back’ when things go wrong. We reread the story of Rosie Revere and then shared our own things that ‘we can’t do-yet’ using the magic word yet to train our brain and allow it to grow, every mistake is a clue that we need to try again a different way. We worked in pairs to build a tower and kept trying to build it as high as possible when it fell down.
Year 1 English: Making Predictions
Today, we came to school and found out that a wolf had been sighted on our school grounds! We had a video from Mrs Ham asking Year 1 to help look for clues and eyewitness reports from Mrs Thompson, Miss Kachwalla and Mr Bloomfield which gave us a trail to follow. We found some clues such as a bin bag, packed lunch, honey, a cup, glasses and a red cloak. When we came back to class, we saw the front cover of our new book The Last Wolf and wrote a prediction for the story.
Year 2 - History - Florence Nightingale
Year 2 have started a new unit of learning in history about Florence Nightingale. We learned lots about her and quizzed each other.
Year 2 - PE - Fundamental Skills
Year 2 have been working on our PE skills. We sprinted and threw bean bags with improving accuracy.
Year 3- Class Worship- What Can Football Teach Us About the World?
During class worship today, we looked ahead to the upcoming 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup and explored the big question: "What can football teach us about the world?" We learned that this tournament will be the biggest one yet, bringing together 48 teams to play matches across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We discovered that football is truly a universal language, played by millions of people in entirely different environments, whether on a beach in Brazil, in a busy city, or in a refugee camp, showing us that all you really need to connect is a ball and some space. Ultimately, we reflected on how the World Cup is about much more than just sport; it is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our global community. We concluded with a prayer, reflecting on how people who speak different languages, eat different foods, and live in different cultures can still be brought together through shared experiences, teamwork, and mutual respect.
Year 3- English- Writing in Role: The Beetle's Complaint
In English this week, the authors have been putting their persuasive writing skills to the test. They have started writing a formal letter of complaint to the Spider, taking on the creative perspective of the Beetle. The children are writing to firmly argue the Beetle's case, claiming that the object in question rightfully belongs to all the insects. It has been wonderful to see the children using expressive vocabulary to express the Beetle’s outrage and make his complaints as convincing as possible. We cannot wait to see how their final letters turn out.

Year 5 - School of Kindness
Today Krish from the School of Kindness visited to help us all be kinder people. In a whole school worship, he told us that being kind is based on three key ideas: friendliness, generosity and consideration. We developed examples of these from our everyday lives before discussing how being kind can actually boost our physical and mental health. We then returned to class and made a personal gift for a friend or family member to show our appreciation of them.
