Parent Voice Counts

At Queen’s Hill Primary and Nursery School we are delighted to announce the launch of our new Parent Forum – 

Parent Voice Counts (PVC) 

which gives you the opportunity to give your opinions and views on a variety of topics, which have been raised by the Senior Leadership Team.  

This term we would like your views on:

Communication – What does good communication look like for parents?

Home Learning – How does it work for you?

Community – How can we involve the community in Christmas Carols around the estate on the 17th December?

If you would like to attend the forum on Wednesday 6th November there are three time options available.  

8.40am 2.15pm or 5.30pm.

To attend the forum you need to contact or email the school office on 01603 746857 office@queenshill.norfolk.sch.uk giving your name and the time you will be attending. Refreshments will be available at each meeting.  

We look forward to seeing you there.

Times Tables in Year 2

Year 2 have started learning the 2s, 5s and 10s times tables. We’ve learnt that ‘times’ means the same as ‘groups of’.

For example:
3 groups of 2 is 6
3 x 2 = 6

During one lesson we looked at different pictures of objects in groups and wrote the correct multiplication sentence…

Year 1 Story Map

At the end of the term we learnt the story of the Little Red Hen. The children spent time learning the story from a story map, drew their own and then recounted the story.

Aztec artwork

Year 4 have been busy in their art lessons this week, creating their own Aztec-inspired artwork using oil pastel and watercolour.

Designing sky scrapers in maths

Today we designed our own sky scrapers for Queen’s Hills. Mrs James told us that every day for a week, we could add two windows. In pairs we designed our sky scrapers and wrote addition and multiplication sentences to find out how many windows we would have built by the end of the week. We found out that:

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14 windows

7 x 2 + 14 windows

Ancient Greeks next week!

In the last week, we have delved deeper into the characters and settings in Shadow of the Minotaur and have created some excellent descriptive pieces from this stimulus in our English lessons.We enjoyed our Maths Cafe on Monday too, where we all tackled mathematical problems themed around looking after some unusual pets! 


We are looking forwards to our visit from History Off the Page for an Ancient Greek workshop next Wednesday (16th October) and can’t wait to dress up for this – have a look at these websites for costume ideas if you’re stuck!

Another busy week in Reception

This week we have been exploring the autumn colours, leaves and objects. The children collected and sorted the leaves in different ways. The children have been enjoying exploring how much a number represents with some numberblocks construction this week. 

Amelia Earhart

n topic this week, we ordered the photographs chronologically from Amelia Earhart’s photo album. We had to work as detectives and look closely at her face in the photographs. Here are some photographs from our lesson:
