Year 2 enjoyed being dinosaurs and dinosaur explorers for the day. The children posed the question: ‘Where do dinosaurs come from?’ We used a variety of different sources such as the internet and books to find out the answer. This is what we found out. We also made our own fossils, moving dinosaurs…
On Tuesday 11th of February, the whole school collectively worked on creating internet safety posters. The parents were invited in to discuss how to be safe on the internet. We hope this is a starting point to raise awareness of the impact the internet can have on individuals and making sure we use it in…
Year 6 enjoyed sharing their home learning (from our topic, ‘Hola Mexico!’) with each other at the end of the term. There was some fantastic things to share including recipes they’d tried at home, art work, creative writing and historical research. Well done to everyone who worked hard on their Home Discovery Journals this half…

We worked in small groups to measure one another and count how many cubes were needed from head to toe. We recorded our results on a…
Planet Dinosaur Home Learning. The children have thoroughly enjoyed their home learning this half term. They have been exploring dinosaur habitats, fact files about dinosaurs and stories from the Stone Age. We have a wonderful display of habitat in the classroom and the children enjoyed sharing the work they had completed in their books.
Today we were visited by two members of the RNLI- Sean and Steve. We have begun talking about our brand new topic ‘Our Heroes’ and the children were very excited to meet two local heroes. Sean showed us the uniform and equipment that they use- helmets, dry suit, bear suit and a life jacket. The…
