Overview
From Year 3 to Year 6 pupils follow a topic based curriculum which incorporates all National Curriculum subjects. Core texts and topic books (e.g. books related to the Romans) are used in reading and writing lessons. Generally maths is taught discretely.
Maths is taught through 'Power Maths’, a programme which supports a teaching for mastery approach. Lessons and activities are designed to be taught using problem-solving approaches to encourage pupils’ higher-level thinking. The focus is on working with pupils’ core competencies, building on what they know to develop their relational understanding.
Writing is taught through a range of exciting stimuli which includes books, film clips, artefacts, and real life experiences. We strive to equip children to develop a rich vocabulary which can help them bring their writing to life. Basic skills and non - negotiables underpin writing in all areas of the curriculum. Teachers model the writing process and demonstrate the ambitious high standards expected of all children.

School Council Christmas Bauble Project
Back in November, the School Council decided to buy every child a clear bauble to design and decorate ready for Christmas. Each year group chose their own designs and have been busy over the last few weeks creating them. In Year 1, children filled their baubles with Christmas sequins and they decorated the outside. In Year 2, children turned their baubles into reindeer and used them to decorate the Christmas trees in their classrooms! In Year 3, the children turned their baubles into snow globes, complete with snowmen inside. In Year 4, the children used lots of glitter and glue to decorate the outside of their baubles. In Year 5, they used tissue paper and glue to create a textured bauble which they filled with yummy treats! And finally, in Year 6, the children filled the inside of the baubles with glitter, then used white pen to create patters on the outside. We think they all look amazing! A great big thank you to the School Council for organising this for everyone.
