Year 5 enjoyed learning and rehearsing 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes for our school poetry performance. It was wonderful to have a good audience of parents and carers to perform to. There are many budding actors and actresses in Year 5 - I look forward to seeing this grow. Well done, Year…

Year 6 had a great time performing their Mummy Ancient Egyptian poem.

Gory, funny and educational - the poem wrapped up part of our Ancient Egyptian topic!

In Year 2 we are learning how to exchange ten units for a ten rod using Diennes rods and cubes. Today we had a mammoth game of making 30 using a dice and the rods and units! You have to roll the dice, collect that many units but then exchange ten units for a rod once you have 10. It took us a…

This week, in the cold weather, we have had lots of fun exploring! We have been learning about freezing and melting, solids and liquids and we explored painting on the ice that was left in our tuff tray! We were very excited to find out that even the paint froze when we left it outside! We also…

Gosh - what a lot of 'Wealth and Work Week' learning we have done in Year 5 this week! We had wonderful question and answer sessions with parents who do a wide range of jobs. We have learnt about how to spend money carefully and the impact that borrowing money can have. Children now know what tax…
