Lower School (KS1)

Great maths learning in Reception and Year 1 this week. We have been estimating, measuring and comparing capacity. 

Reception children have been reading the book ‘Hairy Maclary’ and doing lots of great learning around the stories. They have really impressed me and Miss Haynes this week with their original ideas and brilliant writing! In the role play area they have created a great animal shelter. Today Tommy…

Thank you to Years three and four who came down to our classroom to perform their poems ‘Jim a Cautionary Tale’ accompanied by a sound scape they had composed. We really enjoyed the performance.

Great learning has been happening over the past few weeks ...

Our smallest swimmers loved having 15 minutes ‘fun swim’ at the end of their lesson today, it was to mark all their hard work during this half term!

Happy 5th birthday Sophia! We hope you enjoy your party tomorrow and have a lovely birthday weekend!

Congratulations to Millie for getting all her movements correct at ballet. 

Charlie had a great weekend at a show with his pony Jimmy. They won two first rosettes, a special and a clear round. Charlie has just started learning how to jump with Jimmy and is doing brilliantly! Well done team Richardson!

The Tadpoles have turned into frogs over the Easter holidays, the children have been very excited to see them and observe the changes this week. The frogs are fascinating to watch. 

Today we have released eight of the frogs into our garden. 

Just over four weeks ago Ivy’s mum and grandma brought us some frogspawn from their pond for us to watch it develop and learn about animals and their life cycles. When the frogs have grown we will be taking them back to the pond. It is fascinating! 

The children check on the tadpoles throughout…

Well done Charlie. 

Thank you very much to our lovely friend Elaine Silverwood from Silverwood Events http://silverwoodevents.co.uk for giving us these fabulous World Book Day books to read and keep!

The children were so excited to receive a box of 'book treasure'!
