Reminder that there is an Accelerated Reader drop in for KS2 parents on Thursday 17th November 3pm-4pm in the school hall. Please pop along if you want to learn more about AR and how it works.
Accelerated Reader Drop in!

Science Club – Using magnets
Last week at science club we used magnets. We started off with a walk around school to see what magnetic objects we could find. Then, we tested the strength of the magnets by seeing how many paperclips we could hold. Finally, we used iron filings to show the magnetic pull.
It was also great to share Leila’s volcano experiment brought from home.
Class 14 – Investigating Forces
Last week, we used every we had learnt in case study 2 to plan and carry out our own investigations. We then wrote up our experiments for our final touch down.
Class 10: amazing writing and response to marking and feedback.
Class 6 Phonics
The children have been working super hard in phonics. Yesterday we learned the /ir/ grapheme. The children put lots of effort into their independent sentence writing. Well done Class 6.
KS2: Accelerated Reader drop in
As mentioned, there will be an AR drop in for KS2 parents on Thursday 17th November 3pm – 4pm which will take place in the hall. Please feel free to pop along and find out more about how Accelerated Reader works in school!
Reception Out Of this World
A huge well done to Hazel, Isla and Violet for being Out of this world this week. Well done girls, you are a real asset to reception.
We are so proud of you all.
The Reception Team
Reception Final Product and Celebration of Learning
As part of their expeditionary learning this week the children have been busy baking biscuits to raise funds towards our final product ‘A bear for every child’. Each child will be bringing home a delicious bundle of biscuits today that they are very proud of! If you feel able to donate to this worthy product please donate on ParentPay. The suggested amount will show as £1:00 but any donations are more than welcome.
The money raised will buy every child a teddy bear to take home. Each bear will come with a tag around its neck including a QR code to show the learning journey of the expedition. We will also be buying bears for a local charity to distribute the bears to the families they work with.
The celebration of learning will be a celebration performance and teddy bears picnic to showcase our learning from the expedition. (30th November 2pm) The children will share their performances showcasing their learning using songs and stories about ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and each child will receive their bear. You are invited to bring a picnic afterwards as we share in a final teddy bears picnic together!
Class 15 – Investigating Friction 🏎
Yesterday, we continued building our knowledge on forces and focussed on friction and how it helps objects to slow down and grip surfaces.
The children discussed which variables we would change and keep the same to ensure the investigation was accurate. They then put their cars to the test to measure the difference they travelled on different surfaces! Another great science lesson guys – Well done!
Year 3/4 Star Reader 📚
Well done to this week’s Star Readers. Keep up the great work!
