The Year 6s visited Lower School this afternoon to support the children with their reading skills. They listened to them read their home reading books, wrote in their reading records and then spent time practising writing together. Enjoy looking at the very cute photos!

This week, Lower School have been enjoying ‘Stuck’ by Oliver Jeffers.

We have created our own kites, asked questions about the story using question words, retold the story so far to our friends, used drama to represent the various things that went up into the tree, drawn incredible…

Play-Doh has landed in Lower School! 
 

After choosing their very own colour pot, Lower School created new little Class Dojo monsters! They accessorised with the little eyes, hands, feet before rolling phonics dice to name them!
 

‘Fl-oy-ch’ or ‘Tr-ow-ng’…we loved the silly little…

Upper School have been investigating manga drawing and anime in our art lessons. This week, the children tried out their own ideas for a manga character using inspiration from other manga drawings. The results are fantastic! See the gallery for some of the pictures they completed.

Today the Year 6s completed their last SATs test! It has been a long week and the children have all worked their socks off towards the tests and throughout this week. They richly deserved the celebration cakes that some of our parents made and brought into school. Thank you to Bethan, Abi and…

We first used our own imagination in ‘Drawing Club’ to share what we thought Norman’s ‘amazing and brilliant idea’ could have been. Using the front cover as a HUGE clue,…

Lower School celebrated the upcoming Coronation with crafty crowns and some very appropriately-coloured icing of yummy biscuits…

With a slight change to the weather and a sea of exhausted little faces after a busy three day, we decided to finish our week with the parachute! Upper School had lots of fun working together, encouraging one another…and competing a little against one another!

It was certainly a fun, energetic…

To many it was a brand new game, to some it was just completely surreal playing in class…I am of course talking about… ‘Blooket’!

If you haven’t tried it already, it’s brilliant! Sign up for free, choose categories or create your own and compete against your friends and family in this really…

Over our three-day week, Upper School have been busy bees designing their very own purposeful robots. They created their non-chronological reports ‘blueprints’ (including a vast array of details following deep discussion over what should be considered - from warranties to material). Using…
