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…

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…

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…
