Weekly Update 25.4.25

The highlight of this week has been the Explorer Day to launch our new geography topic! The children had lots of fun dressing up as different pirates and explorers. We completed a Scavenger Hunt around the school grounds and also learnt about the seven continents. 

On Thursday we completed our MindMate lesson for this half term. We identified different emotions and discussed how it's normal to feel different things to our friends sometimes. 

In maths both Year 1 and Year 2 have begun learning about turns. We have done lots of practical work by turning different objects and shapes. 

In English we read our new book "The Pirates Next Door" by Johnny Duddle and we made some predictions about the plot using the blurb for clues. 

Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday for a sunny week at school!

The final week of Spring Term has come to an end!

We finished off our topic of the 'Step back in Time' this week by learning about William Murgatroyd. The children worked in teams to create posters about who William Murgatroyd was and what he did. 

This morning we pretended that we are in Victorian school and the children enjoyed writing on their 'blackboards' with white chalk. 

Have a wonderful Easter break and I will see you again on Tuesday 22nd April!


Weekly Update 28.3.25

We have had a week filled with learning. 

On Monday morning we were able to watch Key Stage Two's dress rehearsal of 'Bugsy Malone'. The children loved this experience and have been humming songs from the show all week. 

In English we have written sentences using key vocabulary from the Victorian era (including words such as 'blackboard', 'abacus', 'schoolroom' and 'drill'). We also looked at an example of a diary written by a Victorian child in preparation for next week. 

In maths we have continued looking at money. Year 1 have learnt how to recognise a variety of coins and notes. Year 2 have learnt how to add coins to make different amounts. 

We have also continued learning about animals and their habitats and we have had a look at examples of different food chains. 

Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of school before the Easter holidays.

Another week has flown by!

In maths the children have enjoyed learning about money. We have spent lots of time identifying different coins and making different amounts of money. 

In English the children have written some fantastic diary entries from the point of view of one of the little pigs, describing the events of the day. 

Elsewhere in the curriculum we have learnt about the responsibility that comes with owning a pet as part of our PSHE topic on rights and responsibilities. We have also enjoyed listening to some classical music as we continue to learn about Mozart in music. 

Thank you to everyone who attended Parent's Evening this week. It was a great opportunity to share all the hard work from the children and talk about their learning. 

Have a wonderful weekend and see you again on Monday!
