Reception are mathematicians!

10th March 2025Rebecca Carter

Last week in maths the reception children have been exploring matching number and quantities. Here is our collaborative team challenge! We had to work together to build the highest tower in a minute. We had to compare how many bricks were in the tallest and smallest towers and then had the extra challenge of building them all with the same amount of bricks! Here are some of our moments in action

Year 1 Fire Lighting – XP Outdoors

4th March 2025Rory Kershaw

This afternoon, Year 1 students had an exciting XP Outdoor session as they learned the skill of fire lighting using flint and steel!

We discovered how sparks are made by striking flint against steel. With patience, focus, and plenty of determination, they practiced creating tiny sparks—watching in amazement as they ignited cotton wool to start a very small fire.

Not only was it fun but also a fantastic way to learn about fire safety, resilience, and the behind the scenes of fire making. The children worked together, encouraging each other and celebrating every successful spark. Well Done Year 1!!!

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!

Reception Phonics

27th February 2025Amanda Wallace

This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sound. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the digraph, say the digraph and then write the grapheme.

The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become. There is a sentence to read on the bottom of the sheet also. Reading this and also reading the reading books that the children now have will all help to increase and improve the children’s fluency in their reading.

Thanks

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.
