Y5 Ancient Greek Day

To launch our new history topic, Ancient Greeks. Y5 had a day of cooking. We prepared and cooked Melomakarona (which are Greek honey-spice cookies), chicken kebabs with roasted vegetables and tzatziki dip and a Greek salad. The children worked tirelessly in the kitchen all morning to prepare this wonderous feast. In the afternoon we wrote up our recipes with a detailed method including modal and imperative verbs.

Finally, once all the work was done we sat down and ate all of the wonderful food that was prepared.

Nursery: Each peach pear plum

This week, we have read the story Each Peach Pear Plum. We learned about the queen and about the platinum jubilee. We enjoyed playing in the castle role play area and creating our own castles. We have also been mixing colours.

Nursery: The Gingerbread Man

This week, we have been looking at the story of ‘The Gingerbread Man’. We explored loose parts to create a gingerbread man. We also played some gingerbread man themed maths games and explored magnets and hooks on the cranes/lorries to carry a load.

Nursery: Little Red Riding Hood

Last week, we continued to focus on the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. We discovered paw prints in our classroom and thought they might belong to the big, bad wolf. We created wanted posters to find the wolf and made traps. The children enjoyed sticking their posters up around the classroom for others to see.

Nursery: Supertato

Last week, the children in nursery enjoyed the story ‘Supertato’. We made traps for the evil pea, created our own supertato and explored printing with vegetables.

Summer Half Term!

Year One have worked so hard this half term… All of the staff are so proud of how amazing they have been settling back into school life and throwing themselves into their learning. We have been extremely lucky to be able to regularly visit the Outdoor Classroom, this has helped to inspire our learning and is something the children have really enjoyed.

Les Abeilles: Trip to the Outdoor Classroom.

Year 5 Rivers

Year 5 welcomed some visitors into school today to talk all about rivers.

They were able to explore different flood walls, dams and try their best to stop flooding in a model village.

Everyone had so much fun and we are proud of how all children engaged with the session.

Year 3 Cave Art

This week, Year 3 have been inspired by their topic on Stone Age and artists Hannah Hansen and Laura McKendry to create their own cave art. In true Stone Age style, they created their artwork on the walls, using earthy colours of charcoal and pastels. What do you think?

Art Inspired by Gustav Klimt

Year 6 explored the work of Gustav Klimt, focusing on his use of pattern, colour and decorative detail. They created their own artwork inspired by his style, incorporating bold shapes, gold tones, and intricate designs. Through this project, pupils developed their creativity and gained an understanding of how artists express ideas through texture and symbolism.

Year 5 Computing

Year 5 have been working hard on scratch to program different sprites.
They were able to explain how selection directs the flow of a program

Look at some of their creations!

Year 5 Science/RHE

Year 5 explored sun safety today. They were able to explore different SPFs and predict which bead would turn purple the quickest.

They were able to see the effects of the sun and think about how they can stay safe.

Everyone was shocked how quickly the bead without any sun protection turned purple and how the factor 50 sun cream kept the other bead from turning purple at all!

Year 4 – Maths Investigation

This week in year 4 we completed the maths school fair necklace investigation. We had to use systematic recording in order to find all the combinations of symmetrical necklaces you could make using four red and four yellow beads. The children used coloured counters and recorded their ideas as they progressed until they found all six solutions.

Year 4 – Pitch investigation

This week in science year 4 investigated how pitch varies in instruments and what causes this. We used shakers, rubber band guitars and glockenspiels in our science lesson to help us. We discovered that longer thicker objects have a low pitch and thinner short objects have a high pitch.

Roll up, Roll up – It’s the year 1 circus!

As part of their history learning, Year 1 have been finding out all about Pablo Fanque. Children have enjoyed learning about how he was born in Norwich and changed his name to Pablo Fanque when he joined the circus. He became the first black circus owner in the 1800s. The children were amazed that he could teach horses to dance and even ride 12 horses at once! We discovered that some children hadn’t been to a circus, so we made our own with stilts, tightropes, juggling and a big top!

Year 2 Positive Affirmations

In RHE this half term Year 2 have been learning about positive affirmations and how they can give themselves compliments. They thought carefully about all the positive things they could say to themselves and wrote them down to remember later on.
