To mark the end of their Easter topic, Year 6 have created some wonderful Easter artworks.
As part of Year 6’s Dimensions topic they have been discovering more about the Romans. They were fabulous craftsmen; they used their legacy to create mosaics and clay pots.

Year 3 enjoyed their final kickboxing lesson today with Mr Brown.
They have learned lots of new skills over the last six weeks including basic punches, kicks, ducks and even got involved in some pad work! They have all made such good progress in such a short space of time.
Year 3 had an exciting afternoon trying lots of different Greek foods. As part of our Dimensions topic- Athens v Sparta, we have been learning about Greece. The children have learnt about the history of Greece, food and culture. We thought it was only right to try some of these foods. So we had an enjoyable afternoon trying the different delicacies! We tried: olives, Greek yoghurt, Vine leaves, baklava, feta cheese, pita bread with tzatziki and hummus.
Class 3 enjoyed exploring the parts of a plant as part of our Science lesson. We took them apart, looked carefully at them and then reassembled them before labelling the main parts of the plant.
We have also been looking at length in our maths lesson so compared the lengths of the stem with our partner.
Year 4 have been learning all about Healthy Eating this half term. They now know about the different food groups, the correct ratios for the food groups and how to choose healthy options for themselves. This week we have moved onto careers involving food and had a visit from our school cook- Mandy. The children prepared questions such as:
-How do you choose the menu? -How do you ensure we have a healthy diet?
-What qualifications do you need to be a school cook?
-What roles are there in the kitchen?
-Do you enjoy your job?
The children listened to Mandy and received lots of information for their next task- designing a school menu.
Thank you Mandy for visiting us this week. 😊
The eco warriors in year 3 have done a great job at picking up and spotting rubbish around our school. They enjoyed cleaning up our environment whilst having fun!
The sheer joy when you solve a maths puzzle! ❤️
Class 4 had the “best fun” (so they told me) in maths today! The BIG triangle puzzle was such a fun way to practise rapid recall of number bonds for 10 and to develop team work and resilience.
Year 1 kicked off our ‘Great Big School Clean’ today. Every day our Eco-Warriors will choose friends from their class to help them keep our school grounds litter free.
Year 4 took part in the Outdoor Gym Challenge as part of Science Week. This year the theme is all about growth, we looked at why growth is important to our development and health.
The task was to think about ways to grow physically but to find ways that everyone could enjoy it with an outdoor gym. We tested out exercises that needed NO EQUIPMENT such as squats, planks, sprints and sit ups. The children even created a few exercises of their own. They then created an exercise plan that added up to no more than 10 minutes for another group to complete.
The children in Year 4 loved this activity and when evaluating the task they said, “We were so surprised how many things you could do without equipment.” They also said, “We found it difficult to choose exercises that were right for everyone, not too hard or too easy.”
