Y2 go the distance!

Year 2 are learning about units of measure in Maths. We started with metres and centimetres. To help us get a feel for how long a metre is, we threw beanbags outside then measured their distance using trundle wheels. We learned how to convert between metres and centimetres. Finally, back in the classroom, we were […]

Plant pot pioneers (Y2)

This half term, Year 2 have been investigating the question: What material would make a suitable, eco-friendly plant pot? First, we considered why some materials were eco-friendly and others are now.

Butterflies, bugs and beyond! (Y1)

Year One had an exciting and educational trip to the Horniman Museum this week!

Lights, shadows, action! (Y3)

This term, our science topic has been all about Light and Shadows—and what better way to explore it than by making our very own shadow puppets!The children have been learning how shadows are formed when an object blocks light. They experimented with different materials to discover which ones were transparent, translucent, or opaque. After understanding […]

Does Bigger mean more?

Year 1s have been exploring capacity in our maths lesson! We were learning that capacity is how much a container can hold and we began exploring this using water. We had a range of different containers, some made for measuring and some with strange shapes and sizes. Before we filled them with water, we estimated […]
