We’re going hunting!

The children in Reception have been busy innovating the popular story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ this week. We experimented with changing the settings to new ones, thinking of ways to describe them. Some children decided to keep the original settings and change the character that they were hunting for, from dragons, to tigers to snails! The children had a go at recording the journeys within their stories on story maps.

Year 5 Bikeability

Year 5 have really enjoyed their Bikeability lessons this week. They’ve been gaining practical skills and understanding how to cycle safely on the roads.

Exploring our new Early Years outdoor area

The children in nursery and reception have been so excited to explore our new outdoor area! We have a new texture kitchen to make pies, potions and perfumes, a core strength area, water wall, maths and literacy zone and our own mini ‘Community Park’. A big thank you to Cool Canvas for creating this amazing space for our children to learn 🙂

Reading in KS2

This term we’ve teamed up with Collins e-books to offer all year 5 and 6 pupils free access to the whole-range of banded books online. You should shortly find a sticker in your school diary, which will list your personal login details for the platform. Follow the video below, as Mr. Cross shows you how to login to the reading platform from home.

Mark making in Reception

This week in Reception we have enjoyed trying some large mark making. Some children have chosen to write some of the sounds we have learnt in phonics and even some number sentences! See if you can try this at home. All you need is a table and a large piece of paper and some pens 🙂
