Year 1 Science
Year 1 have been learning about the different seasons in science.
We learned about the changes we may see outside in spring and went outside to see if we could observe any of these changes. We noticed the leaves were growing back on the trees, flowers were growing and the weather was starting to get warmer. We learned that in spring the weather can change a lot so we kept a weather diary to record what we could see.
Great work Year 1!
Weekly Newsletter - 26/04/24
Dear Parents and Carers,
We are celebrating our second week of 95% whole school attendance! This is a fantastic achievement and really does make a difference to the wellbeing and happiness of the children. Well done everyone!
This week we have had visitors from the London Maths Hub who came to see our Mastering number sessions in action in Reception and Year 1. Our visitors were blown away by how well the children could talk about their learning using mathematical vocabulary. Next week we have a visit from Read, Write, Inc phonics and we know that they will be blown away too! Well done everyone.
Please remember that next Thursday 2nd May, school is closed to the children as we are being used as a Polling Station.
Uniform Consultation
We are due to review our school uniform policy in readiness for September. There have been a number of requests from parents and carers for the uniform policy to include bottle green polo shirts. Any changes would be phased and we would like you to share your thoughts. Please click on the link below to have your say. The form will be open until Friday 10th May. Once we have the information back we will be able to make a more informed decision. Consultation form

Year One visit the Book Fair.
Year 1 had the opportunity to visit the book fair on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Their excitement and enthusiasm was great to see. We were able to look through the books on display and discuss what they might be about to help us choose some titles that we might like. Many of the children were keen to share the books that they had chosen with a friend. We were very proud of how the children behaved so sensibly and took excellent care of the books especially when putting all of the books back carefully in the right places.
Well done Madagascar!
Madagascar were rewarded with extra play for filling their marble jar this week. They voted to have that play on the KS2 gym equipment. The children also managed to take photos of each other as part of our computing lesson 'How to take a good photograph'. All the photographs on this Blog were taken by the children. Well done Madagascar what good photographers you are!
Reception experience day
On Friday 24th May the children in reception are invitited to come to school dressed as what they want to be when they are older. We thought this would be a nice learning experience as our "Growing and changing" topic comes to an end in providing the children with an opportunity to think about and share a job they might like to do when they are grown-ups. The children may have already began discussing this, as one of our homework bingo activities was to draw a picture and write a sentence about what they want to be and now they will be able to bring this to life. We look forward to seeing the many job roles they may choose to do!
New Zealand Forest School
It was a chilly afternoon for New Zealand Class’
last forest school today. Despite the weather we thought about caterpillars
and butterflies, which should be appearing soon if the weather ever warms up. There
was lots of leaf munching with hole punches like caterpillars, hollowing and
threading elder pieces to make caterpillars and butterflies to decorate. Also
the children enjoyed playing in the mud kitchen, the hammock and the balance
beam.
Year 2 Healthy Eating
In our last PSHE unit in year 2, we were looking at how to keep our bodies healthy. We looked at food groups by playing a game, discussed what makes a meal ‘healthy’ and learnt about how medicines work and the importance of using them safely.
We then designed and made a healthy snack - crudités and yoghurt dip!
Year 2 visit the Book Fair
Year 2 visited the book fair yesterday. We spoke about how to choose a book and the features of books.
“You could read the blurb to see if you will like it” - Stefan
“I found a book with someone from Ancient Egypt in it!” - Sydney
