Class 11 Earth Hook! 🌎🌍🌏

17th April 2023Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 11 were right back into action and have began their hook week for the new Expedition. The new Expedition is called Earth Shattering Events: What happens when nature strikes?

The children were focusing on the different layers that made up the Earth, so it only felt right that we created a fun, collage that showcased the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core, so that we could see the different layers of work.

Keep an eye on the blog, as we continue to be hooked into our new Expedition this week!

Aspirations Week in Reception.

We’ve had a lovely day today for aspirations week in reception. The children have been lucky enough to have two special visitors to see them.

This morning we had Tina Woods come to see us with Lola the dog. Who came to share her experiences of looking after dogs and how to care for them.

This afternoon we had a visit from Fireman James. Who talked all about being a fireman and talked about what they have to do and wear. The children even go to try on his hat.

Our chicks are here!

8th March 2023Lorna Vaughan

The Reception children were all very excited when they arrived to school today to find out that some of their chicks had hatched early in the morning. They were very lucky to also watch some of the chicks hatch out of their eggs throughout the day. The best part of the day though was definitely all getting a little cuddle.

Below is a video of one of our chicks hatching.

Healthy Recipes

8th March 2023Carly Schon

To continue with our Design and Technology case study and to generate recipes for our book product KS1 have been making healthy desserts. We used skills such as chopping and peeling to create our parfaits which included foods from 3 of the 5 food groups that make up a healthy meal that has made up part of our learning in the case study. Why not ask your child to explain them to you? Below are photographs of the children from class 6 making their desserts. Great job guys…and a huge thanks to Mrs Clay for supervising the activity.
