Year 5 had a fantastic day out at Whinlatter orienteering and den building. We spent the morning reading a map and finding 12 different check points where we had to collect a unique stamp. This was lots of fun but also quite challenging as some of them were quite tricky to find. In the afternoon…

We have had lots of fun so far this week using the multi link cubes to make an AB repeating pattern.
At first some of the cubes were a bit tricky to click together but we got the hang of it in the end. 

As part of a geography unit on fieldwork and map skills, the Year 2 children have been exploring the school grounds to find physical and human features that they will need, in a future lesson, to show when drawing their own maps of the school grounds. The children also took the opportunity to play…

Year 3 have been studying OS maps, looking at our local area and learning to find features using coordinates and symbols. They have discovered human and physical features of our local area and considered the difference between them. 
 

Year 3 have been studying shapes, both 2D and 3D,. They have been learning the names and properties of the 3D shapes. They built their own 3D shapes with cubes, counting faces, vertices and edges.

As the end of the Summer Term approaches we have started our transitions from Nursery to Reception. Nursery came for a visit to Reception and played in our indoor and outdoor provision. We also had our Reception children model how to play with equipment and show them around the classroom. Lots…

Year 6 are ready for the Euros! We have had a sweepstake, we’ve got our wall chart ready to record the results and we’re very excited to see how our teams will progress.

In Maths we have been learning about repeating patterns and if you make it a repeating pattern it has to have a rule. This included using two, three or four colours to create an AB, AABB or ABC pattern. The children were great at making the pattern repeat many times and added more colours as a…

This week our older Nursery children have been using the Construction blocks to help them with their Maths work. They counted and identified numbers 1-5. For each number they then built a tower using that number of blocks to make it. Some children when they had added too many blocks or not enough…
