Spring 2- Year 6

Our new topic is:  What did the Windrush scandal teach us. In Geography, they will be researching about The HMS Windrush; we will be linking this knowledge closely to our writing skills.  In science, the children will be organising and running the Science Fair, which takes part in British Science Week on 10th March 2025 and a visit to Rayner Stephens on the 25th March. This term, we have our outdoor activities day organised on Monday 31st March. Please keep an eye out for emails from Mrs Parker. PE days have now changed.


Positivity in Year 6

Throughout the last fortnight, Year 6 has been looking into how to overcome depression, anxiety and bullying. They really delved into their own emotions and how they could resolve feeling down. The children wrote poems and represented these in their very own positive pop-up book. I'm sure you'll agree at how amazing they are!


Story time

Year 3 have had a wonderful time today sharing their stories from English with Year 1 and Year 2. Their oracy skills shone Reading with emphasis and making their stories about natural disasters exciting.

Well done!

Year 5 Peer Mentoring for Maths!

Members of Year 5 have been undertaking some training lately to be Peer Mentors for Maths!  They have been learning how to use Funkey cards with a view to helping younger children learn their times tables and other important Maths skills,   The training for young mentors helps children think about the strategies and language which will motivate and encourage others.  Next term, when they have completed their training, our young mentors are looking forward to working with some of our Year 4 children.  Watch this space!  Mrs Blomeley
