This week, Oak Class historians have been busy stepping into the shoes of Stone Age people and learning in the most fun way possible – just like in "Horrible Histories." The children were challenged to create persuasive adverts all about why the bow and arrow is a far superior choice to a simple stone. Using powerful, persuasive language to convince the audience, the children dressed as prehistoric people.  As always, confident and very entertaining! In IT, the children start

We’ve had a brilliant start to the term. The children have settled back into the routines of school really well- it’s been a busy week! In assembly, we have started thinking about our value for the term, ‘thankfulness’. We listened to a story about a couple who were granted 3 magic wishes in return for their integrity, but they were so busy arguing about what to wish for they ended up losing them all! Thinking about the moral of the story, the children had lots of good ideas.

This week in Oak Class, we explored the science of sound and how it travels through the different materials of solids, liquids and gases.  The hands-on learning was great fun with super teamwork and clear explanations.

Hazel Class have settled beautifully back into the routine of school after the half-term break. We are now venturing into our exciting new topic — The Stone Age! In History this week, we began learning about nomads — the hunter-gatherers — and the class had great fun creating their own “stone caves.” In Art, we explored the Lion Man  figurine and had a go at sketching our own versions. In Maths, our new topic is multiplication, and we started by learning about arrays. Well do

And just like that, it’s half term! On Tuesday, we had a brilliant time at Woolley Church for our Harvest Festival service. The walk across the valley to and from the church was a great opportunity to be together, chat and enjoy our local environment. One parent commented how it felt like a lovely migration across the valley, watching the children play and talk as we went. At the Church, we were blown away by the children's contributions of singing, sharing harvest poems and

Apple Class have had a busy week looking at maps! We have drawn sketch maps of our local area and planned routes from School to Alice Park! Well done, Apple Class!

In Oak Class we have been exploring sound and starting to discover how it travels.  A highlight of our week was when our “Lead Scientist” used a set of tuning forks to introduce the science behind sound waves.  The class was captivated with an experiment that involved dipping a vibrating tuning fork into a bowl of water. As soon as the tuning fork touched the surface, it created ripples that danced across the water. This demonstration helped the children visualize how sound w
