Design, Dream, Build (y5)

Year 5 have been getting incredibly creative in both their Art and Design & Technology topics this term! In Art, we explored installation pieces using everyday objects. Our classroom was completely transformed as we turned it upside down and used tables, chairs, books and even maths resources to build imaginative, fantastical worlds. It was a […]

Sailing into Summer (Y4)

Year 4 had a fantastic day out to end the school year with a boat cruise from Westminster Pier to Greenwich. The sun was shining as we sailed down the Thames, spotting famous landmarks and learning fun historical facts along the way. At Greenwich, we had a picnic in the park and played sports in […]

Melon mission (y3)

Year 3 have had lots of fun the past couple of weeks trying to lift melons in one hand! Yep, you heard that right. For our last science investigation of this term, we were testing the question, “Does hand span affect grip strength?” We started by measuring the children’s hand spans and separating them into […]

Grow a Pound (Y6)

Naomi’s class took on the “Grow a Pound” challenge with just £26 and turned it into £103.68! They sold cakes, pastries, homemade lemonade, and ran a game of darts to raise the money. All funds will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Well done to the class for their creativity, teamwork and generous spirit!

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. Then we began testing materials: bubble wrap, newspaper, cardboard, hard plastic, natural fabric and tin foil. We carried out a rip test to see […]

Glitter, Grooves & Goodbyes (Y6)

Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of music, dancing and laughter at their end of year disco as they kicked off their celebrations in style. With two weeks still to go, it was a brilliant way to start saying goodbye and create some special memories together. The disco was a big hit with the pupils: “I […]

Butterflies, bugs and beyond! (Y1)

Year One had an exciting and educational trip to the Horniman Museum this week! We started our adventure in the amazing Butterfly House, where the children walked among butterflies of all shapes, sizes, and colours. It was like stepping into the Amazon rainforest! The children were fascinated as they observed the butterflies up close in […]

measuring up! (y1)

In Maths this week, Year One have been learning how to measure using standard units—centimetres! The children used rulers and measuring tapes to explore the lengths of various objects in and around our classroom. They measured everything from pencils to tables and even had a go at recording their measurements independently. It was wonderful to […]

Author in the house!

Years 1-3 were so lucky to have a visit from a real-life author who told us all about his book, Buzz Sausage Wolf! Buzz Sausage Wolf is all about a little dog who is wondering, is he more sausage or more wolf? Author Jim Beckett gave a very entertaining assembly where we got to think […]
