Year 3- Bringing the Stone Age to Life with PrimeVR
The children had an absolutely incredible time during our PrimeVR experience day, with the highlight being their deep dive into the Stone Age. Through the power of virtual reality, they didn’t just learn about history; they lived it, transported thousands of years back in time to explore ancient landscapes and see firsthand how early humans survived. The children came face-to-face with woolly mammoths, examined prehistoric cave art up close, and discovered how Stone Age people communicated. It was an unforgettable, immersive adventure that truly brought our history topic to life!

Reception-RE- Jonah and the Whale
In our RE lesson we learnt the bible story ‘Jonah and the Whale’. We listened to the story and discussed the meaning of the story together and spoke about forgiveness and why it is important to forgive others who sometimes do wrong. We then acted the the story out in class.
Athletics Club
Our first athletics club was a huge success as the children prepare for our DPSSA Witton Athletics event next week. We worked on various events such as relay hand overs, sprints, long distance, cricket ball throw and standing long jump. It was great to see the enthusiasm and support for each other.

Year 4 Geography - Rivers
In our Geography session we looked at the stages and features of a river and the way that land use changes from the source to the mouth. The children worked in small groups to create their own display which required labels for the mouth, meander, flood plain, source, confluence and tributary.

PSHE - Growing and Changing in Year 4
Today we had a recap on everything that we have covered so far for our growing and changing unit and then went on to discuss how animals also reproduce. The children had to guess which of the six animals reproduce first to last. We found that butterflies were the first at being able to reproduce at 3-4 hours with elephants being the last at 12-15 years old!

Year 5 - English
Year 5 started their new English topic today by making predictions about a story based on snippets of information. They were shown items from the book such as a map, film reel and binoculars and asked to discuss how these objects may be connected and what they tell us about about the time and place it is set in. Time will tell if their predictions are accurate!
Year 6 - Kooth Transition Session
Today, Year 6 took part in a transition to high school webinar delivered by Kooth. The session focused on mental health and wellbeing during the move to secondary school. Children explored the range of emotions they may experience during this transition and discussed common challenges they may face, including making new friends, adapting to a new environment, managing increased independence and coping with changes in routines and expectations. The webinar also provided practical strategies for building resilience, seeking support when needed, and maintaining positive mental wellbeing throughout the transition process.
Singing Worship
What a wonderful start to the week in our Singing Worship today! We began by singing School Rules, before continuing our preparations for the Year 6 Leavers' Service with a selection of special songs. We then sang As You Go, reflecting on the exciting journeys ahead, before our Year 6 pupils confidently led us in Stronger. It was fantastic to hear such enthusiastic singing from everyone and to see our Year 6 children leading so beautifully. A great way to start the week together!
Year 3- PSHE- Personal Space and Boundaries
This afternoon in PSHE, the children engaged in an important discussion about body space and the value of personal boundaries. To help bring these concepts to life, they participated in safe, supportive role-play scenarios. They practised what to do and say if someone is entering their personal space, or if they do not want someone touching them (such as a high-five, hug, or during play). The children handled the topic with great maturity, learning how to confidently use their voices to set boundaries and how to respect the personal space of others.
Year 1: Fun On The Outdoor Gym
Year 1 had fun together on the outdoor gym. We did not have our usual PE lesson due to a longer history session, so we decided to get outside and do exercise using the outdoor facilities.

Keep Fit Club
Our Key Stage 2 Keep Fit Club had a fantastic, active session today making the most of the gorgeous sunshine! We started our afternoon with a gentle stroll up to Jack Keys and we headed down toward the bicycle path. To cool off after our walk, we headed into the lovely shaded woodland area to do some exploring. It was wonderful to see the children encouraging each other, exploring nature, and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise.
Year 1 History: Off To The Market
Year 1 visited “the market” today and we absolutely loved it. We started off in class by comparing some differences from shopping in the past to modern day. Then, we each wrote shopping lists with 6 items and we had £1 to spend. When we arrived at the market, some of the children became the shopkeepers and some as the shoppers. The shopkeepers had to tell the shoppers how much their items were and count the money and give change. The shoppers could keep their items in brown paper bags. It was lovely to see the children working together, using their imaginations and they have all asked to do it again.
