Y3/4 Science Week – Mr Chalk, Associate Nurse – Our Expert Visitor

27th March 2025Claire Dutton

Today, we carried on our learning from science week and enjoyed a special visit by Eli’s dad (a.k.a. Mr Chalk). Mr Chalk is an associate nurse and he shared not only a fascinating insight into his role but also lots of examples of how biology (and even maths!) helps him to look after the patients in his care. Of course, the children had lots of questions to ask but they were also fantastic at Mr Chalk’s ‘guess the broken bone’ quiz – well done boys and girls!

A big thank you to Eli from Class 10 for lending us his dad for the afternoon, and an even bigger thank you to Mr Chalk for his engaging and informative presentation!

Year 4 swimming reminders.

11th March 2025Alishia Pearson

Hello! For the next two weeks the children will be doing water safety swimming lessons. For these sessions they will require their normal swimming costumes and a pair of shorts and t-shirts to go over the top. These will be worn in the water so we would also advise a carrier bag as they will hold a lot of water when in their bags for the day and may cause other items to get rather wet.

Can we also kindly remind that sprays and aftershaves/perfumes are not to be used in the changing rooms or brought into school due to allergies and to support children with asthma.

Many thanks, the year 4 team.

Year 4 ‘shine’ during Science Week 2025!

10th March 2025Chris Mumby

This week, Year 4 had an exciting and hands-on science lesson as part of our Science Week celebrations! The children explored the topic of light and how it travels in straight lines through a fun and practical investigation.

Using torches and cardboard with small holes, the children experimented to see how light moves in a straight path and how it can be reflected and directed. They were amazed to see that when objects blocked the light, a shadow was formed—proving that light doesn’t bend around corners!

The best part? Watching the children work together, discuss their ideas, and make predictions before testing them out. Their enthusiasm and curiosity shone just as brightly as the torches!

XP Outdoors- Pancake Day with Year 4

4th March 2025Rory Kershaw

This morning, Year 4 students had a fantastic time celebrating Pancake Day in XP Outdoors! Instead of simply enjoying ready-made pancakes, the children took full control—mixing their own batter and cooking pancakes over an open fire.

With some support, the students carefully measured flour, eggs, and milk before whisking it all together to create the mix. Then came the exciting part—cooking the pancakes over the fire!

Geography club – what are we learning?

27th February 2025Alishia Pearson

So far we have looked at what geography is, how the earth is structured and how the earth crust is divided and what it’s made up of. To do so we have made an all about geography poster, made a model of the earth’s layers and recreated the earth’s crust diagram. All of which have been fabulous and of lovely quality! Well done Geographers!!

KS2 Disco Divas!

13th February 2025Claire Dutton

KS2 children had a blast at our Valentine’s Day Disco yesterday – lots of hotdogs, dancing and sweets were enjoyed by all 🙂 Mr Mumby took to the decks and by children’s request, the highly acclaimed tune – ‘Sigma Boy’ – had the school hall jumping like never before!
