Year 4 have been learning all about tempo. They discussed the meaning of fast and slow before comparing 4 pieces of music and grading them by Tempo.
They listened to a metronome and practiced clapping to the beat. Then played a few rounds of follow the leader with their musical instruments.
They also became composing champions when they chose our own tempo and instruments to create mini pieces of music. They had a great time!
Class 8 are thoroughly enjoying their weekly drumming lessons with Mr Bird! Here they are performing altogether.
As part of Year 3’s 3D PSHE unit, they are learning about e-Safety. Today they discussed the importance of privacy and keeping our personal information safe.
In this lesson they had to write down a secret in ‘invisible ink’ on a post it note (using their finger!) and put them in the secrets jar. They then imagined how they would feel if the jar was stolen!
This led on to a great discussion about what things we should keep to ourself online, and how to keep ourselves and our ‘secrets’ and personal information safe from harm.
Year 1 are following a scheme called ‘squiggle while you wiggle’ which helps children develop their gross and fine motor skills. Here they are practicing their up, down, side and cross over movements.
Today Year 4 have been focusing on using practical equipment to extend their maths knowledge. They built numbers using counters, base 10 and took part in a 4 counter challenge!
On Tuesday 21st September, all children from Years 1-6 came to school in their sports clothes to recognise National Fitness Day. We were especially lucky to have an excellent personal trainer volunteer their time to come in and compete a short session with every year group.
During their PT session, the children had to rotate around 4 different exercise stations around the hall where they had to complete different exercises such as star jumps, sit ups, ladder runs and hurdles – all activities designed to get the blood pumping!
Take a look at the fun we had!

As part of Year 1’s topic ‘Happily Ever After’ they invited Chris Bostock in to tell the children some tales. They all had a fantastic time listening to and joining in with the stories. The children loved the visit so much that the Explorers and Pathfinders 5 & 6 joined in the fun too.
Year 1 have been making bird feeders as part of following instructions and getting ready to think of our own instructions. They then took the bird feeders down to the Secret Garden for their feathered friends!
In Year 3 this week we began our brand new Dimensions topic – That’s All Folks!
It is a history based topic with elements of computing as it’s all about early film and animation! The children are thoroughly enjoying it so far as this week we learned how to make flip books, zoetropes AND stop motion animations.
See below for some of our fabulous examples!
Today Year 4 started their new Dimensions topic all about Technology and the internet. They talked about how humans ‘stay connected’ and they were amazed when they had to create a timeline of technology and transport.
The teachers and children were shocked at how old some things were and the children couldn’t believe that the World Wide Web is only 30 years old!
