This half term (Spring term 2) our topic is 'How does your garden grow?'. We will be learning all about plants and the environment. We will explore the history of our local area and delve into the past, learning about Beatrix Potter and visiting our local park, Gorse Hall. For more information regarding what we are learning about this half term, please see the MTP below.

Beautiful manners and being respectful to all, as well as fantastic writing skills, were the reasons for this week's Headteachers awards.  Good to be Green awards, as always, were given for being Ready, Respectul and Safe.  Mathletic certificates were awarded for brilliant achievements in our Maths learning platform  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley 

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.

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!

A massive congratulations to all our award winners this week. 

Well done to our superstars in Year 3 this week.

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.

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

Year 6 have worked ever so hard with their dance through the ages. It's been amazing to watch their confidence and skills develop. Well done Year 6.
