Class of 2026

I'm sure you will have been kept up to date with the news of our Christmas visitor, but if not, we were joined by a Gingerbread Man this year.

Dave the Elf was nowhere to be seen (after last year's antics) and so, Gingerbread Man came to bring calm to Panda Class.

That lasted for all of…

Children have been reading the story Beowulf, and were enthralled as our hero Beowulf battled the hideous monster Grendel who had been terrorizing the village for many years. Children acted out the final scenes of Grendel being defeated, before using their inference and prediction skills to act…

Attached are some pictures of the class with their trumpets. They are being taught by Mrs Gleave, with the support of Bold as Brass. The children are working towards a performance of their trumpets along with a range of other schools.

We have been working in groups to come up with ideas for a setting description for Alice in Wonderland. We thought about all of the different things we could, see, taste, smell, hear and touch and then worked with our team to add them to flipchart. This helped us generate ideas for writing our…

We have been investigating how electrical circuits work and how we should draw them.

We looked at all of the components that we would need for a circuit, and then tried them in different orders to see if we could make the bulb light up - with varied success!
Children were extremely sensible…

Year 4 have been looking at what happens when you put raisins into lemonade. We are looking at states of matter and we wanted to test what affect gas would have on a solid. We ensured we kept all of our variables the same to make sure that we were completing a fair test.

Tiger Class have enjoyed learning how to be responsible this week when they made their own flour baby and took care of him/her.  They learnt what a baby needs to survive and how they should be looked after. Well done to our two most responsible parents!

We have been learning to weave on a loom like they did in The Iron Age.
The children have enjoyed this and showed lots of resilience.

Making Woolly Mammoths in Year 3

We visit Kent Life where we took part in various Stone Age workshops.  We met a tribe member, learnt about Stone Age weapons, learnt to grind grain, Stone Age worship, trade and hunting as well as created our own cave paintings.  We even enjoyed seeing the animals and had fun in the play areas! We…

We have had great fun in English this morning as we have been using our senses to describe some of Mr Willy Wonka’s new inventions!

We even tasted apple and custard sherbet!
