The Pre Reception children have been very busy this week with our Space focus. We have been learning all about the eight planets in our solar system. We have been finding out different facts and then ordering the planets to see which ones are closest to the sun. We have been making our own solar…
Year 8 pupils in Spanish are rocking the start of the term. Their motivation to do well and attitude are impressive, and I am enjoying being their teacher. They are excited about speaking in Spanish, particularly helped by the different games that we have played in the classroom. In our “Trapdoor” activity, pupils are shown…
Standing at the edge of the classroom at the beginning of the maths lesson was a rather oversized box. In fact, it was taking on the role of an oversized money box, overflowing with oversized coins, which were larger than life! Excitement heightened in the Year Two classrooms as the children selected individual coins and…
Year One have enjoyed learning about their bodies and senses in science. We started by looking at a picture of our skeleton and talking about what the children could recognise. We identified the skull, ribs and spine and then talked about why these bones and our skeleton as a whole is important. The children shared…
