KS1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group

This week we have been learning the /ou/ sound. The children have been really impressing me with their knowledge of red words and also their confidence when reading our shared reading books. I can tell that many of the children have been practising at home! This week we have also focussed on writing words and sentences. Keep it up everyone, I am very proud of your efforts!

KS1 Phonics: Miss Rodgers and Mrs Clay’s groups

This week in Miss Rodgers and Mrs Clays groups the children are consolidating their learning. The children have been taking their latest assessment and we have been blown away with the improvement in children’s reading fluency. Thanks for all your help with this at home. We hope you have enjoyed reading with your children and seeing their progress!

Class 8 science work

I was really impressed today by the children recalling their knowledge on the life cycle of a plant and then learning about the functions of the structure of a plant. They did some superb labelled diagrams and then wrote about the different jobs that parts of a plant have to do!

Great work class 8!

Maths Week 2025- Challenge 1

Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.

For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:

  • Numerals (e.g. 7)
  • Words (e.g. seven)
  • Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
  • Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
  • Arrays
  • Tally marks
  • Money
  • Anything else creative!

How to Take Part

  1. Choose a number that inspires you.
  2. Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
  3. Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
  4. Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.

Happy Maths Week!

Year 2 road safety talk

Year 2 loved their road safety presentation this morning by ‘The Riot Act’! They were so engaged, loved the interaction from Dan and the puppets he brought in. Most of all they went away understanding the importance of road safety and that they must remember to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN and then also LOOK again!

They sang songs, joined in and it was a great session to witness! Well done year 2, remember to always STAY SAFE!

Class 8 beautiful art work

The children have been working very hard to create art work for their final product. They have drawn their own fruit shrinky dinks in the style of Dennis Wojtkiewizc and I can’t wait for them to be finished!

Absolutely beautiful!

Class 8 – beautiful work

We have introduced our new text this week, ‘The Tiny Seed’. These children made their own book of the story and could talk through the story and explain what happened to the Seed. Not only great literacy, but also great scientific work today! Well done
