What a super morning we have had for Sports Day. The children waited their turn very patiently before having a go at all the races.

The children, ran, jumped, ran backwards, went through hoops and had a go at the egg and spoon race! 

Well done everyone! 

Our younger Nursery children loved…

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…

Year 6 have been experimenting with Cubism. They used a range of different materials to recreate a still life, playing with perspective, shape and colour. The aim was to create an idea of the still life rather than a precise reproduction. 

Year 6 have been getting ready for Sports Day. There’s been lots of team planning and support. Which team will win the coveted trophy this Year?

As part of their maths work on position and direction, Year 1 have been looking at ordinal numbers. They had great fun taking part in different races and working out the position they came in. What an active maths lesson that was!
 

Year 5 have been swimming every afternoon this week at Copeland pool. They have all improved their swimming skills on this intense course. Today they learnt how to take off their pyjamas in the water and create a float for their life saving skills.
