It has been the perfect day for cakes and for choosing a new book. Thank you to everyone who donated books, joined in, shared their favourite reads, and discovered new stories to love. And a big well done to everyone involved in organising the book swap shop and baking delicious items for the cake sale. It was a resounding success! Some lovely comments overheard: "What a fantastic idea!" "This is like looking back at my childhood!" (From a year six child absolutely engaged

What a great week! The weather has been warm and we've even had some sunny days! Our value for the term is ‘Courage’, and this week we learnt about the 6 types of everyday courage: moral, social, emotional, intellectual, creative and physical. We discussed how we show these types of courage without even realising it. We celebrated World Book day with an amazing costume parade and we were very lucky to have Alice Tait join each class to complete a range of activities. See her

What a wonderful week in Apple! Our class book this week is 'Shh, we have a plan' by Chris Houghton, and year 1 and 2 have worked hard to design a more effective way to catch a bird and written super instructions on how to make their design. Reception took this a step further and went outside to make their trap. Reception have also completed some super phonics and practised finding one more and one less of numbers up to 10. Finally, we had a brilliant time on World Book Day.

Last Friday we were delighted to welcome parents into the classroom to see us smell and taste a variety of herbs. Everyone had great fun exploring the different scents and flavours, and we each planted our own herb to take home! This week our tasting adventure continues as we will be smelling and tasting tomatoes. We are very excited to see what everyone thinks!

We have been wowed with some amazing costumes today, and have had so much fun in our sessions with Alice Tait...

Today, Apple class have had a great time designing Viking longships as part of their 'Travel and Transport' topic. The children have used mixed media to show key features of the longships.

This week, Oak Class have enjoyed hands-on maths; they learned how to measure volume and capacity. The children worked in teams to tackle Mrs Coleman’s tricky water challenges, sharpening their estimating skills and having a splash-tastic time! Not only did the young mathematicians learn about measurement units like millilitres and litres, but they also discovered the importance of teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

This week in Hazel Class, we’ve launched into our brand-new topic on the Shang Dynasty — and what a fantastic start we’ve had! We got creative by making our very own ‘oracle’ shells and experimented with writing Chinese symbols, just like people did thousands of years ago. The classroom was full of excitement! In Maths, we’re continuing our fractions journey and the class are absolutely smashing it! Today we explored fractions that are ‘more than 1’ — stretching our brains an
