Adders have been getting into the Christmas spirit!
We kicked things off with our new poetry book, The Polar Express, setting the perfect tone for the season. We also celebrated Christmas Jumper Day, bringing plenty of colour and cheer to our classroom.

Year 4 have started their new unit on multiplication and division. They’ve been busy exploring number facts, spotting patterns, and investigating how numbers connect together.
It’s wonderful to see their curiosity grow as they build confidence with times tables and division strategies.

Otters showed lots of resilience in Geography today when creating structures out of marshmallows and spaghetti (dried!) that would withstand an earthquake of 5 on the Moment scale! The completed structures were given a wobble on the whiteboard to see if they remained standing and they did!

Newts enjoyed exploring the properties of different materials in Science. We considered how some materials can change shape permanently and how some materials can change temporarily. We then used our scientific skills to arrange the materials into a Carroll Diagram!

Year 1 have been subtracting using the part whole model to help us. Some of us can work the equations out in our heads but can we prove our answers! Great discussion from our mathematicians this week!

Otters have been learning about shape in Maths. Yesterday we looked at the properties of 3D shapes and showed excellent team work skills to sort them into a Venn diagram.

Starlings have loved learning about the planets in our Solar System! We looked at the different colours and features of the planets, then recreated these by marble rolling paint over our circles. Slightly messy… very fun!

What a week Nursery have had… and it’s only Tuesday! We had our first forest school session together as a whole Nursery, we have been making salt dough Christmas decorations, and even had a taste testing session where we chopped and served the fruits and vegetables ourselves. 🐝 🦋

Year 1 have been busy exploring and comparing different settings in English. We’ve been spotting differences, building vocabulary and even sentence-building by joining two short sentences with conjunctions to make one. All helping us create and describe our own settings!

Superworm is super long, Superworm is super strong! 🪱
This week, we collected all of our odd socks and stuffed them with recycling paper to make our very own Superworms! We talked about how some of them were long, and some of them were short. We even managed to put them in size order! 🐝🦋

In maths, Lynxes have been exploring polygons with equal sides and angles then using their discoveries to investigate and solve perimeter problems with confidence.

Using sticks, Adders worked together to build polygons with different numbers of sides. They experimented with pentagons, hexagons and even more complex shapes, discussing what makes each shape unique. It was a fun activity that helped them understand sides, vertices, and the properties of polygons!

This week in forest school it is tree week! We will be learning about different trees as well as planting our own trees. Today year 1 planted crab apple trees they worked as a team to dig a hole, plant and protect it.

Year 1 have been exploring how animals change and grow over time in science. We started by looking at the life cycle of a frog and how each stage is unique. 🐸✨

Year 1 are having a great time exploring the forest school. This week they made homes for animals who are getting ready to hibernate for winter.

Year 3 took part in their class langar today as part of our RE learning. The children tried a simple mashed chickpea daal and chapati, served the food themselves and even washed up afterwards! Such a lovely way to learn about community, equality and sharing. 🌼🥣✨

Newts have made the most of the cold, snowy weather this week and used it as inspiration for creating their own frozen setting as part of setting description writing!
