We have had a very busy week this week in Year R learning our new phonemes ‘f’ and ‘b’. We had a great choice of activities to choose from such as firework pictures, building bonfires, practising our letter writing and making firework biscuits! 

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as…

It was lovely to see some writing from Olivia in year 2 today. Year 2 have been learning about Guy Fawkes this week and Olivia included lots of information in her writing. She even got a Puffin Point from Mrs Franks. Well done Olivia.

Year 2 have been writing Firework poems using exciting sentence openers and, this morning, Ira from 2GD came to show me his wonderful poem. 

Year 3's feet have not touched the ground since they came back to school. They began their cross-curricular learning journey by becoming pilgrims and retracing the footsteps of Henry 2nd to learn the story of Thomas Becket; the children dressed as pilgrims and looked amazing! As they…

Year 5 have been busy learning to read, speak and write in French. Holly and Jordan wrote a super paragraph all about themselves and their family and had a go at reading it out loud. Year 5 are very lucky to have Mrs Brooks who teaches French weekly to both classes, so far the children have learnt…

They were able to explain how the molecules within each of these states of matter were different and how to change from one state of matter to…

Rasmus and Alicia (6MB) both came along to my office today to show me their excellent problem solving with fractions in Maths today. I was very impressed with their systematic working and the ease in which they could explain their strategies.

In PE this week we explored using hoops.

We practised hula hooping, skipping with our hoop and rolling it.

It was hard work. We were all excited to learn something new!

Year 5 and Year 2 have joined together to support the school in becoming more environmentally friendly. Every Wednesday afternoon, we meet up and carry out some eco jobs. Some of us are designing and making a compost bin for us to put all our garden waste in and  a group of us ensure our gardens…

On Tuesday we were very lucky to have Stanley’s dad with his acoustic guitar. We loved listening to pop, rock and rock and roll music that we have been learning about in music lessons with Mrs Brooks. We had a great time!

Year 2 have been learning how to use partitioning to add two 2-digit numbers together. This morning, Lorenzo, Polly and Oliver came along to my office to show their excellent work and explain their mathematical strategies.

Year 4 had a fantastic trip to the Dover Museum where we learnt all about Romans. The day started with a clay work shop where we all made a Roman soldier. We learnt that they were not allowed facial hair and had to have ear protectors in case their ears got sliced off in battle! The next activity…
