Middle School (MS)

In English this week, the children have been learning about writing to persuade. To go alongside our topic of Vikings we have been learning about the nine realms in Norse mythology. The children had the challenge of being given one of the realms with their partner and having to sell a holiday to…

The children in middle school had a very special RE lesson this week - we visited the church!

This was to go alongside our topic of exploring the church and the meanings behind it. We have already virtually explored some fantastic churches around the world, but it was time to visit our…

Children have been experimenting with frame structures in their DT project.

To begin with, children were given modelling clay and cocktail sticks to try and create some basic 3D shapes. They began with triangular prisms, cubes, tetrahedrons and square based pyramids. Eventually, children began…

Middle school took part in a challenge that used their science and their DT knowledge - they had to protect an egg from an 8 foot drop!

They were told to plan out as a team what they would do to protect their egg and then they were given materials and tape to create something.

Children used…

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 children have been continuing their learning in maths all about 2D shapes. We learned how to classify different shapes using sides, vertices, angles and parallel or perpendicular lines. 
First, children played a guessing game by describing their shape to a partner.
Secondly, children worked…

Our new science topic is forces and magnets. 

Last week, we investigated push and pull forces.

This week, we began looking at how friction might affect those forces by setting up an investigation.

Children set a car off down a ramp and timed how long it would take to cross a 50cm line.…

To further our topic of shape and geometry, middle school children have been investigating triangles and their properties.

We have learned about the different types of triangle and we are able to classify them based on their features.

Children cut, sorted and stuck different triangles in…

We have begun our new topic of Vikings and Anglo Saxons in history this half term. We learned a little about who the Saxon people were and how they split England into seven kingdoms. Then we tried to solve a mystery...

Children were given several 'sources' or 'clues' to work out the mysterious…

Some pictures from the wonderful Easter Disco arranged by the Friends before the Easter break. The children all had a wonderful time!

To practice their knowledge of area and perimeter, middle school were given a challenge - to set up a zoo for mythical creatures!

They were given a list of the creatures they needed to house and their requirements and they set to work planning out where each of these animals would go. Children…

Before the holidays, the children enjoyed a morning of Easter themed arts and crafts.
Children had a choice of different activities to let their creativity flow! 
Some children designed their own Easter egg pattern using crayon or felt-tips. These ended up beautiful, bright and unique!

Some…
