School Council Christmas Bauble Project

This year the school council decided to run the Christmas bauble project again. The plastic baubles were very kindly bought by the Friends and each year group chose their own designs and have been busy over the last few weeks creating them.

In Reception they decorated wooden baubles with paint, glitter and sequins.

In Year 1 they used tissue paper to collage the inside of their baubles.

In Year 2 the children measured their height and filled their bauble with ribbon that is the same height as them in 2024.

In Year 3 they filled their baubles with cotton wool ‘snow’ and decorated the outside with Christmas patterns.

In Year 4 the children decorated their baubles with glitter.

In Year 5 they used tissue paper to create bright and colourful baubles that have been hanging on their class Christmas trees.

In Year 6 they chose glitter for the insides and drew Christmas patterns and messages on the outside.

We think they all look amazing! A great big thank you to the School Council for organising this for everyone and an even bigger thank you to the Friends for supplying us with the baubles.

Year 2 Maths

To finish their work on shapes, Year 2 have been sorting 3D shapes into categories based on the properties they have been learning about. There was lots of great mathematical thinking about faces, edges and vertices!

Y5 DT and Music

We have had such an amazing first term in Year 5! We have been busy designing, making and evaluating our cam toys, learning how to play jingle bells in music, exploring forces and writing fantastic missing chapters for our class text: Viking Boy. We are now experts on all things Viking and fractions are now our friends! 

The Year 5 team wishes everyone a very happy and restful winter break.

Year 3 Bauble Project

Year 3 enjoyed creating their baubles this afternoon as part of the school council project.

They showed great concentration and creativity skills.

Y1 – Patterns

In Year 1 we have been learning about repeating patterns. We started with shape patterns and then moved onto making patterns with a range of materials. The children enjoyed moving around the classroom and experimenting with different patterns.

Year 4 Roman Catapults

This week all three year four classes have been putting their design and technology skills through their paces building Roman catapult models. The children have been closely supervised measuring, sawing and gluing the different parts together in our final activity from what has been an extremely engaging history topic. There has also been opportunities to test out the firing capabilities of their long range-range weaponry using rubber missiles and plastic soldiers. Mr. Cross was pleased to hear there was no bloodshed!

Year 6 Time & Tide Museum Trip

This week, Year 6 came dressed in WWII themed outfits for their trip to the Time and Tide museum in Great Yarmouth. Their outfits were excellent! They travelled back in time to 1941 when Great Yarmouth was in the thick of the action as a ‘front line town’. They Discovered how the war affected people on the home front and met an ARP warden, a housewife, a shopkeeper and a Home Guard soldier. We were so impressed by their curiosity!

Year 3 Cathedral Trip

Year 3 enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral today.

We were so proud of how ready, safe and respectful they were.

They learnt all about what advent is and journeyed through the nativity.

Reception Science

In Reception we have been looking at floating and sinking. The children learnt about what it means for objects to float or sink, made predictions and then did an experiment using the water trays to see which objects floated or sank.
