Big ideas, brilliant stories… (Y3)

Crack the code! (Y5)

In Year 5, we have recently dived into the world of computer science during our latest computing lessons. Using school Chromebooks and BBC Micro:bit pocket-sized computers, the children learnt about text-based and block coding. The young programmers successfully learned how to write code that takes a real-world input (like pressing a button or shaking the device) […]

Growing up, stepping up (Y6)

Year 6 took part in an engaging workshop with the Southwark Junior Citizenship Scheme, exploring a range of real-life scenarios. The session helped pupils develop important life skills, make informed decisions and prepare for the challenges of secondary school as they take their next steps towards becoming independent young adults.

Map it, make it, create it (Y2)

Year 2 have been using maps as a stimulus for our art and craft work this half term. We drew imaginative maps and developed them into 3D artwork. Afterwards, we used shapes from our original maps to create an abstract, stained-glass window display. Finally, we turned a section of our maps into a print. The outcomes […]

Ballot Boxes and Big Decisions!

The children have been excited to cast their votes in our pupil committee elections for student council, eco warriors and digital leaders. After many persuasive speeches the children went to the polls to let their voices be heard! It was clear that a lot of effort and thought went into preparing for the elections and […]

Little Hands, Big Maths (Rec)

Our Reception children have been having fun exploring Maths through hands-on, practical activities and are developing their mathematical skills in exciting and engaging ways! The children have been learning to recognise numbers, count accurately, understanding how numbers are made up and have been exploring different ways to represent the same number. These activities support the […]

Crazy About Creepy Crawlies! (Y6)

Naomi’s class had a fantastic time during their science lesson as they explored the fascinating world of invertebrates! The children used air-drying clay to create their own models of different invertebrates. From creepy crawlies to creatures with many legs, the classroom was full of creativity and excitement as the children carefully shaped and moulded their […]

Into the woods (Y2)

Year 2 had a wonderful time exploring the forest and foraging for natural materials to create their very own woodland animals. This activity brought our non-fiction learning to life as the children used what they had discovered outdoors to represent some of the animals they have been researching and writing about. They enjoyed getting creative […]

From Mysterious Caves to Measuring Bones! (Y3)

Year 3 have been bringing Sandy Cove to life through drama. We focused on the mysterious cave scene, using our voices, expressions and movements to show how the characters might have felt as they explored. Working together to retell the story helped us imagine the setting and get into character. From moving like the characters […]

From Valleys to Coal Mines (Y3)

Year 3 are really getting into our geography topic on South Wales. So far we have explored where Wales is within the UK, the region of South Wales and some of the key geographical features such as the Brecon Beacons and the Rhondda Valleys. We’ve also looked at how the physical geography of South Wales […]
