Lower School (KS1)

Over the last couple of weeks, Lower School have been ‘buzzy’ exploring their new story - ‘The Bumblebear’ by Nadia Shireen.

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… 
 

Thank you to Mrs Welsh and Mrs Jackson for marking the occasion and making it a special day for the…

On Thursday, the whole school got to enjoy a picnic style lunch - either with their packed lunches or with a school dinner - to celebrate the upcoming coronation. 
The children finished their lovely lunch by singing the National Anthem!

The Reception children enjoyed a funny story called The King’s Pants this morning and have then been practising counting to 20 and recognising the numerals with a matching activity. Take a look at these photos to see they’re learning …

We are so happy to be back at school after the Easter holidays! We started the week reminding ourselves how to work in teams, being helpful, kind and resourceful in our learning. 
 

Take a look at these photos to see how we worked collaboratively and searched for things as apart of a scavenger…

We are SO lucky to have our very own swimming pool in the playground! Our children have been enjoying swimming every day and have made so much progress this week.

We are really proud of you children, well done!

We have been looking closely at line and pattern in art this week. First we experimented with pencils learning how to create light and dark shades.  Then we looked at different feathers and drew them in our sketchbooks.

We have been learning about the meaning of Mothering Sunday to Christians. On the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday we visit our ‘mother church’ and give thanks. In the past, it was a day when children, who had gone to work as domestic servants were given a day to visit their…
