Exploring Stable Structures in Class 2, by Miss Hughes

Date: 31st Jan 2024 @ 2:25pm

Class 2 investigated the structural properties of cylinders, compared with other 3D shapes, in DT this afternoon.  They looked at examples in the real world, then had a go at rolling and taping paper and card to create tubes, or poles, with which to build.  Next week we will move on to building structures with our cyclindrical shapes, thinking about how to make our structures even more stable.

Christmas!, by Mrs Barclay

Date: 20th Dec 2023 @ 2:15pm

Class 1 have worked really hard to create their Christmas cards. We used oil pastels and watercolours to create a lovely Christmas tree. We had a go at drawing some of the shapes we have been learning about including triangles and circles.

We also had a go at creating the stable. We used brown paint and made marks using a lollipop stick to create a wood effect. We then ripped the masking tape and stuck it to the roof to create a straw effect. Have a look at our lovely drawings of the characters from the nativity story.

Christmas Fun, by Mr Pugh

Date: 20th Dec 2023 @ 1:45pm

We have had lots of fun celebrating Christmas. We have performed in a Nativity, enjoyed Christmas dinner in our jumpers, dressed up in costumes, made cards, held a super Christmas Fair and visited the Christmas Tree Festival. We entered a design a bauble competition, had a Christmas concert, visited the theatre for the panto and ran in an Elf Run. Along the way we raised £850 for St John's Hopsice and we paid to wear our jumpers by bringing a gift for the foodbank. What a time to have fun and be thankful.

Black History Month - Home Learning, by Mr Pugh

Date: 19th Oct 2023 @ 12:38pm

We have had a very interesting half term thinking about British Black History. In our assemblies we have learnt all about the Windrush and thought about what it would have been like to move from the Caribbean to the UK. We have thought about what is meant by DIVERSITY and how difference makes the world more exciting and interesting. We learnt how Mo Farah, Floella Benjamin and Laurie Cunningham had to fight prejudice to become icons of sport. Class 2 have learnt about Marcus Rashford and Nicola Adams and have written letters to them. Class 3 have been learning about the life of Walter Tull - the first man of colour to lead the army into battle. Class Four have been thinking about the Hidden Figures - the female black mathematicians who helped Nasa get to the moon. 

Geography, by Mrs Barclay

We were very excited to go for a walk around the village. We have been learning all about our school and where we live. We have used Google maps to identify different features including the road, pavement, fields and buildings. We then played Ispy and went looking for the post office, church, pub and park in our area.

Class 2 finished off this year's Maths learning with a practical lesson learning about capacity.  We practised using measuring jugs and cylinders, reading scales and pouring liquids.  Then, we designed our own mocktails using different fruit juices.  We worked as a team to plan how much of each juice should be in our drink and then make it by measuring the capacity we had decided on.  We loved tasting our drinks and working together on something new!

Nourish & St John's Hospice: Fruit Kebabs, by Miss Hughes

Date: 10th Jul 2023 @ 2:12pm

Two weeks ago, Class 2 were invited by St John's Hospice and 'Nourish' to take part in a community picnic and activity day at Williamson Park.  Unfortunately, the event was rained off! However, representatives from the hospice very kindly brough us lots of delicious fruit for us to make fruit kebabs, just like we would have done at the event.  So, last Friday, Class 2 had a lovely afternoon making fruit kebabs and painting their pebbles with hearts, to contribute to a large art piece.  The hospice reps will be collecting our pebbles, along with a donation from school, to promote the fantastic work they do.
