What a great first impression from the new Year 3s. They have been kind, funny and eager to learn about space and more specifically Yuri Gagarin – the first man to go into space. The new Y3s have worked hard on understanding his life and have also created some artwork based on planets!

Class 11 flood research! 🌊
As we ended the week, Class 11 have been researching what can cause a flood. We have also looked into how humans can cause flooding, the physical impact to the earth that this can have and then how we can prevent them in the future. I can’t praise Class 11 enough for how well they collaborated with each other. It was another lovely lesson that we have had this week!
Reception Writing
Our reception children have been trying really hard to improve their writing by doing it in all sorts of different ways.
Well done everyone, keep up the hard work and keep using those phonics skills.

Class 11 Writing! 📝
I have not got enough praise for the writing that Class 11 have produced. This was the start and I know that it will only get better! We completed the first part of our setting description and applied our knowledge of expanded noun phrases. We created lovely descriptions to describe the farm.
Class 11 practises weights!
Nope, it’s not those type of weights! We’ve been getting to understand how different objects have a different mass. We used weighing scales to be able to see this and we used our vocabulary of lighter, heavier and mass to gain more confidence with this. Check out how we got on below!
Class 11 Narrative Learning! 📚
Today, Class 11 have been exploring different features of narrative writing. We looked at a story about a Flood. We have been looking closely at features like fronted adverbials, conjunctions and what actually makes a great story. This included a setting description at the start to set the scene, a problem that happens in the middle and a resolution (we hope) at the end. What impressed me more though was Class 11s collaboration together. They found so many features and just cracked on with the job.
Reception Maths
We have had such fun this week in our maths sessions. We have been number hunting, practising our number bonds to 5 and making different shapes from squares.
Well done Reception Crew 😊
Class 11 Family Learning! 🌋
We don’t know if you’re aware, but there was an eruption close to Green Top and we had to make sure that we could escape safely from the area. Luckily, we all just about managed to complete the challenging clues and evacuate from the eruption area.
In all seriousness, it was a lovely morning filled with so many smiling faces and not just the children. Thank you to everyone who could make it and for making it a really lovely morning!
Class 11s Magnificent Magna Trip!
Well, it is fair to say that Class 11 loved their trip to Magna today. They got to experience making their own volcano, as well as helping to make it erupt. They used lots of team work, great vocabulary and determination to make sure that the eruption was large.
We then ventured around the Magna Centre to look at other areas, such as the air and fire floors. This literally blew our mind and we enjoyed watching the fire tornado and seeing how that worked.
After a quick spot of lunch and play in the park, Class 11 then went to explore more of the centre, looking at the Earth floor, where we got to try and gather rock and drive diggers (don’t worry, we were in charge of sorting the digging out!) to help collect more rocks. Finally, we finished off in the water area and this was by far our favourite. We got to squirt water guns, drive boats and some of us even experienced a storm on the way!
Class 11 absolutely loved their day at the Magna Centre and have even asked if we can visit again. Hopefully you have heard lots of great stories from them! Thank you as well to the parents that helped out, it definitely made it easier and more settled! 😆
Class 11 newspaper feature finders! 📰🗞️
This morning, Class 11 worked superbly well together so that they could find and then understand the features of a newspaper report, in preparation for our next set of writing. We looked into headlines, fronted adverbials and how we need to use facts to get the true story out there. We’ll be practising this in the coming days, especially the 5Ws when it comes to writing introductions!
