Year 5 - Computing
In computing, Year 5 recorded their own radio adverts on Garage Band. They selected a product they wanted to sell and wrote a script with information and catchy slogans. Once the script was recorded, they added music and sound effects to make their advert as powerful or as catchy as possible.
Year 6 - Boomwhackers
Today during music, the children explored creating music using Boomwhackers! The children experimented with different pitches and rhythms, working together to play a variety of sounds and create music as a team. The children developed their listening skills, sense of rhythm and timing, while learning how to coordinate their playing with others. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, showing creativity and discovering how different notes can come together to create music!
Thank you!
Good afternoon, A huge thank you to you all for donating money on our Give Like Dolly Day. We raised £111 for this fabulous initiative. This will help purchase books for children to give them the best start in life. Thank you, Mrs Wilkinson

Year 3 - RE: Preparing for Harvest
To finish our Harvest unit in Year 3, we created a class prayer about thankfulness. Miss Craig and Lenny helped us all learn how to sign some parts of our prayer with Makaton so that we can perform it in church next week.
Year 3 - RE: Born to Lead
In their new RE unit, the Year 3 class will be taking a walk through the Bible and a walk through history to learn about the story of Moses and his connection with Ancient Egypt. This week, they began learning about Moses’ early life and how God was preparing him for a special job. They explored significant Bible verses from the book of Exodus and created storyboards to recall the most memorable parts of the story so far.
EYFS Stay and Play
A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for our stay and play session! At the end of the session, it was wonderful to see the children light up as they shared their phonics knowledge with you, enthusiastically showing off the sounds they have learnt alongside all the matching actions. A real highlight of the session was listening to them proudly retell the story 'The Something' through song, where they amazed us all by weaving in fantastic vocabulary like remarkable, peered, delighted, and wondered. They were equally excited to play teacher and explain the four key parts of a story using our friendly characters—Octopus Opening, Build Up Bear, Problem Penguin, and Elephant Ending. We are so grateful for your continued support and partnership, and we hope you enjoyed seeing your children's learning in action. Our next Stay and Play session is on 12th November at 2.30pm.
Worship: Black History Month
Our Black History Month worship began by inviting the children to imagine a huge book containing the history of the entire world. We discussed how some pages would be familiar to us, while others would tell stories we had never heard before. The children were then challenged to identify significant historical figures, including Samuel Pepys, Neil Armstrong and Adolf Hitler. We then introduced a selection of influential Black individuals. The children recognised Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, but were less familiar with the other figures. This provided an opportunity to reflect on whose stories we learn about and why it is important to celebrate and recognise the contributions of Black people throughout history. We watched a Newsround video explaining what Black History Month is, why it is celebrated and the importance of learning about Black history. Following this, we explained that each class would focus on a different significant individual each week, giving the children opportunities to discover new stories, learn about inspiring people and understand the impact they have had on the world. We concluded our worship by singing Make a Difference, encouraging the children to consider how they can make a positive difference in their own lives and communities. The worship provided an opportunity to celebrate Black history, broaden the children’s understanding of significant historical figures and encourage them to think about the importance of representation, equality and making a difference. A huge thank you to Miss Woods, our History subject leader for planning and leading the worship and follow up work.
Hello Yellow Day in Year 4
On Friday, Year 4 led a special Celebration Worship for World Mental Health Day. We shared our very special ‘ I wonder’ poems and highlighted how we can support mental health so that nobody ever needs to feel alone. The children all dressed in yellow and we completed activities throughout the day to raise awareness for the Hello Yellow day campaign.
Art -Recycled Sculptures in Year 4
In our final art lesson, the children used the recycled materials that they had collected to create some wonderful sculptures. We used lots of different techniques to join the materials in order to make them three dimensional. We also explored use of colour and texture before deciding how the sculptures should be displayed.
Craft Club
For the past 2 weeks at Craft Club, we have been working with air dry foam clay. The crafters have made artwork based on a theme of their choice. They have also used the clay to create very unique mirrors!
Year 1 Maths: Greater than, less than or the same
Year 1 have been trying really hard to understand the greater than and less than symbols. We use these in Maths as it is much quicker than writing the words. We read a story called Gavin the Gator which helped us to understand that the crocodile always wants to eat the bigger number. When we have the bigger number first, we use the greater than symbol. When the smaller number is first, we use the less than symbol. Year 1 arranged different objects and had to decide which symbol was the correct one to use.
