We had some very special visitors this afternoon! Our Learning means The World theme this week was ‘Police, fire, ambulance!’ Some very kind police officers came to chat to the children. They told them about all their job and let everyone have a turn in the car, try on some of their uniform and of course have a turn of the lights and siren! We had a fabulous afternoon.
Today in RE, we discussed and explored why Lent is important to Christians. We discussed what Lent is and created a booklet all about Lent. Then, we created some artwork, using water colours to create a sunset background with a silhouette of cross to represent the cross that Jesus died on.

This week, Year 4 put on an amazing performance for their assembly about rocks and fossils. A super well done everyone!
We have had a perfect pirate week in Reception! Lots of pirate creations such as hats, maps, ships and so much more. Amazing combining of groups, reading, building and spelling words and reading our everyday words. Our sentence writing is developing as well as our independence ☠️⚓️⭐️❤️
1 Red have fully embraced Rockstar day, they have brought rockstar characters to life with their wonderful rockstar singing and dancing. I am sure you agree they all look amazing!
What a great morning we had this morning! This morning we had our parents and carers join us for a maths workshop. We introduced them to some of the methods that we used for multiplication and division, we showed them how we can play with numbers using different methods and sang a couple of our favourite multiplication songs.
As part of our Land Ahoy theme we have been looking at different types of boats and how they move. We looked at pushing and pulling and decided that we would design and build a transport for our boat which would then be used to launch our boat successfully into the water. We used a range of materials and had great fun designing and redesigning our prototypes. We realised that some ideas may sound good but when we tried them they did not work so we had to work as a team to problem solve and complete our mission.
1 Red had a very successful Math’s workshop today. We showed our parents/carers how to explore and play with Math’s indoors and out. The children had great fun teaching their adults different methods of recording. Everyone had a great time getting stuck into all things Math’s
Today in Maths the children have been using their oracy skills to explain how to solve problems using their knowledge of multiplication.
2 Red were given a design brief to use their scientific thinking to plan and make a boat transporter for it to travel on land.
After doing some research and watching boat launches, they worked in teams to try out and problem solve their design ideas.
They considered push and pull forces, how things move, as well as using prior and wider knowledge about boats, movement and floating.
