Here are Year 6 having their last class school photo taken in primary school!

In a flash, their time in primary is starting to draw to a close! There's still so much fun to be had but is this the start of the beginning of the end?

During Lent, we are praying the Stations of the Cross during class prayer time. The children in Year 4 lead each Station. It is good to have this quiet time of reflection on the events that happened between Jesus being condemned to death and his burial in the tomb. 

Year 5 have been creating homework projects since January. We had the choice of space, planet  Earth or famous scientists/inventors. We all put a lot of time and effort into our projects. Mr Hodder came to see them and was very impressed. They are going to go on display in the Library and some of…

Year 6 enjoyed their break before coming back to school full of energy and excitement.

They even had the time of their lives as Mrs Rush, our student teacher, tested their time reading skills!  They didn't have a second to waste!

This week we’ve been reading and exploring Chapter one in our English lessons and today we watched the opening scene of the film The Iron Giant. In groups we used hoops to create a Venn Diagram and we worked together to put them in the correct place.

Today, Year 4 were delighted to welcome the comic artist, Kev F Sutherland  who led a workshop on comic art. During the workshop, Kev modelled how to create comic characters and how to draw a comic strip. He worked with us to create our own class comic, including a comic portrait of every child in…

Year 2 have had a fantastic afternoon measuring. The children had to choose between tape measures, rulers and trundle wheels to measure different objects. The team work and mathematical conversations were great to be a part of! Lots of fun and learning has happened in Year 2 today.

In PE this half term, Year 1 have been practicing underarm and overarm throwing. We have discussed that overarm throwing is used when we need to throw for distance and underarm throwing is utilised when we want to throw accurately. We have been applying theses skills and knowledge in small group…
