Welcome back, Hazel Class! We hope you all had a wonderful and refreshing half term—it’s been lovely to see everyone back, smiling and ready to learn. This week we have jumped straight into our exciting new maths topic: decimals. The class has made a fantastic start, showing great enthusiasm and understanding. We are so impressed with how well the children have begun to understand this tricky concept already—what a brilliant effort. In DT and Science, we will be exploring th

Apple class have been having lots of fun with our new Science topic, 'Super Scientists'. We started the week with Isaac Newton and explored his understanding of gravity. We investigated this using spinners and paperclips. We noticed that the heavier spinner would hit the ground first because it is heavier. We then moved on to his work on light, focusing on what happens to light as it moves through a transparent object. We used a range of prisms to explore how light travelled

Apple class have been lucky enough to work with the year 5 children today! We had lots of fun, from sharing books and supporting each other in maths to producing some amazing mandalas in art using natural materials. The year 5 children were such a wonderful help and we loved having them!

As we reach the end of week 4, we must say a massive well done to the year 6 children! What a week! You have all done an amazing job with SATS and we are very proud of you. Thanks also to the parent volunteers who helped things run smoothly this week, and a big thank you to Mrs Coleman for all of the fantastic teaching and support she has shown to year 6! Our Christian value for the term is trust. In celebration assembly this week, we talked about how it is important to trust

This week, our Year 6 children completed their SATs with splendid focus and determination. We could not be more proud of them. All the children brought in special cuddly toys for good luck, which added a lovely touch of comfort and fun to the week. To celebrate the end of SATs, the children also enjoyed a well-deserved Domino’s pizza delivery, which brought plenty of excitement. Last Friday, Oak Class joined millions around the world in celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s

Apple have been working very hard (as always) on our topic 'What a wonderful world'. In Art, we made collages using natural materials and produced some amazing work! In Geography, we focused on what we could see from aerial views. We identified physical features of different areas and whether they were natural or man-made. In Science, we investigated animals of the rainforest, classifying animals as reptiles, amphibians, birds or mammals and came up with a list of research qu

As you may have already heard, this year’s Hazel Class end-of-year production is The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse — and Hazel Class are incredibly excited to get started! We can’t wait to see the story come to life on stage. In Science this week, we explored how sound can change in pitch and volume. The children had the chance to create their very own harmonics — and well done to those who managed to produce a sound that didn’t resemble a party popper exploding! In Ar

What a busy week! Despite the bank holiday, we have been working very hard - and making sure we have lots of fun. Mrs Simmons and Mrs Boyce spent Thursday at the Trust Safeguarding conference, thinking all about recent safeguarding updates. They have brought back lots of interesting updates to share with staff. Our Christian value for the term is trust. In celebration assembly this week, we talked about how it is important to show that you are trustworthy. We thought about Wo
