Year 1 and 2 are very excited for their next visitors who are coming into school. They will be coming into school next week and the children will be blown away by this experience. We are asking for £4 per child towards the cost of this fantastic experience. Please pay for your child to experience this through parentpay. Thanks
A great big thanks as usual to our parents and carers for a super fun and successful family learning event today. We used our crafting skills to make rockets just like the ones that the three astronauts we are learning about in our expedition might have used for their exciting journeys into space. It was wonderful to see the support and friendly competitiveness between both the children and their grown ups!
We know that the children love to work alongside their grown ups in school and we cannot thank you all enough for your unwavering support.
We hope you had a ‘blast’ (off)…see what I did there?

Congratulations to Hero who has had lots of success in her recent dancing competitions! 1st place and 2nd place in her solo dances! We are so proud of you Hero!
A huge well done to Addison who was selected as one of our school Reading Ambassadors. As part of her role Addison had to go into Year 4 last week to read them a story. She took her friend Isabella along for moral support. I had so many staff and children approach me after Addison had read to the Year 4s to tell me what a wonderful job she did! So many lovely compliments. I am so proud of you Addison!
In Miss Rodgers and Mrs Clays groups this week the children have been learning ‘dge’.
In Miss Schon’s group we are continuing to learn the split digraph sounds in more depth. This week we have been developing our fluency by reading the book Yig’s Trombone and practising answering comprehension questions. Next we will be moving on to the split digraph u-e sound.
In Miss Coopers group we have been learning /ue/
If you have any cardboard tubes or plastic bottles that we could use to make rockets, they would be greatly appreciated. Please hand them to your class teacher this week. Thanks in advance!
Today was one of those days when you remember why you became a teacher!
Paisley, Erin, Myla, George, Olivia, Willow, Willow, Macky, Reeva and Gabby were invited to read a poem at the VE Day Memorial service in Thorne Park this morning and I was so proud of the children and the way that even the very youngest of them seemed to understand that although it was a celebration of the end of the war, it was also a solemn occasion which they were attending to show respect.
Winston Churchill once said – “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’ – so the chance to attend events such as these where they can begin to understand the devastating effects of war will hopefully ingrain in them the importance of peace.
You were a credit to yourselves, your families and our school.
You were all awesome!
Well done to this week’s winners! 🙂
Year 1 and 2 would like to invite parents and carers to our family learning event at 2pm on Thursday 15th May.
We will be making rockets! Can’t wait to see how creative you all are!
PLEASE ENSURE YOU ALL ARRIVE AT THE HALL DOORS THROUGH THE ASH TREE ROAD GATE. THIS IS THE ONLY ENTRANCE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER SCHOOL AT THIS TIME ON THIS DATE.
In maths we have been learning about different types of measures. we have been measuring the length and height of objects in non-standard measures and in cm. We have been measuring and comparing the mass of objects using bucket scales and we have been learning about the difference between capacity and volume.
