Today, we celebrated the incredible work and legacy of David Attenborough, an inspirational figure who has helped generations understand and appreciate the beauty of our natural world. Sir David is not only known for his extraordinary documentaries, filled with breathtaking videography and fascinating knowledge about wildlife and our planet, but also for being a passionate […]

Come rain or shine! (Y4)

This term’s computing focus in Year 4 is all about weather forecasting. So far, we have explored where weather apps get their data from, used a spreadsheet to compare temperatures around the world and talked about the reliability of different sources.In this week’s lesson, children were challenged with designing their own machine that would use […]

The Fabric of Nature (Y4)

This term in Art, Year 4 explored the theme “The Fabric of Nature.” Pupils began by creating mood boards using images of rainforest plants and animals to help them identify a mood and theme for their designs. They then explored how drawing can develop ideas for pattern by sketching a rainforest animal from four different […]

Miles of Smiles at the Mini London Marathon

On Saturday 25th April, some of our children proudly took part in the Mini London Marathon… and what a great day it was! Not only did our children show determination, resilience and enthusiasm from start to finish, but it was also wonderful to see such great participation from parents – some cheering on and others […]

From hatching to happy home (Rec)

We are so pleased to share a heartwarming update about our very special ducklings! After the excitement of watching them hatch in school -a truly magical experience for everyone—we are delighted that Dilek has kindly adopted them. It was incredible for the children to witness the moment the ducklings broke free from their shells, and […]

Kind words, calm minds (y3)

In RHE, Year 3 have been learning about relationships and how to solve problems that can sometimes happen between friends. In our lesson, the children acted out different friendship scenarios that may happen at school and used the “Solve It” technique to talk through the problem, listen to each other and find a fair solution […]

Creative minds on screen (Y3)

This half term Year Three created trailers for story books using iMovie. They chose picture books, then took images and videos, added a soundtrack, voiceovers and sound effects. They then edited further with different wipes and adding text to create their trailers. They worked together to share ideas, write a script and problem solve with […]

Flying high and building strong (Y6)

Year 6 had a fantastic time celebrating Science Day by taking part in some experiments and investigations. With Elspeth the children answered the question: ‘Which paper aircraft design can travel the furthest?’. They made paper gliders, helicopters and aeroplanes and then tested how far they flew. We had to measure using a trundle wheel as […]

From still to moving (Y5)

In our computing lesson, the children explored stop motion animation, learning how a sequence of photos can create movement. Working in pairs, they used modelling dough to create simple transformations, planning each step to make their animation smooth. They then used cameras to take photos, reviewing their work with the playback function and improving it […]

Mission control (Y2)

Year 2 are currently learning about the International Space Station in Computing. We have learned how the International Space Station uses sensors to control its temperature. We visited different parts of the school and took the temperature using thermometers. Back in the classroom, we inputted the data we’d collected into a spreadsheet.
