It has certainly been a busy first week back to school. Pupils have started exploring tally charts and pictograms in maths. In English, they have started learning a text which focuses on a fear story. In PSHE, the pupils are exploring goals and challenges. They were allocated groups and given the challenge of creating the tallest tower with six sheets of newspaper! It was great to see their collaboration skills in action. Later in the week, the pupils excitedly attended the Science Fair. There were lots of wonderful science projects to see. It was a great first week!

The final week of summer term one was Mental Health Week. The pupils all received a compliment written inside a green heart. The children were able to spend time outdoors because the Grow To School Project was timetabled to occur on that day. Pupils made mud balls and added seeds and left them in the school grounds to show how seed dispersal can happen. This linked nicely to our science topic on plants. On Tuesday, the pupils came to school wearing an item of clothing that was green and our pledge was to be kind to each other and our world. By the end of the week, all the children had worked extremely hard and definitely deserved a wonderful half term break!

Today, class 2H went on a local walk to develop their mapping skills. They also visited the local library which promoted a love of reading.

This week, class 2H practised their mapping skills around the school grounds. They used their mapping skills to find human and physical landmarks around the school. The children had great fun doing this!

This week, the children started their new topic: Seeds of Wonder. In science, they revisited what was important for a plant to grow and survive. The children also had the opportunity to plant a bean! This linked nicely with their writing text based on Jack and the Beanstalk.

This week was a busy one with children excited about the Easter break. They completed their art work of an Owl and a Pussycat and constructed an Easter basket. They also attended an Easter service on Tuesday where they had the opportunity to listen to Reverend Dave and sing some lovely songs.

This week, the children were busy completing quizzes so it was important for them to have some time for creative fun. They started drawing an owl and a pussycat and creating a pea green boat (linked to their writing and art topics this term).

This week, the pupils were engaged in creating algorithms (instructions) as part of their computing lessons. They used Beebots to test out the accuracy of their instructions by getting the robot to travel from one place to another.

It has been a very busy week! This week was science week and the theme was curiosity: what’s your question? The pupils had a visit from Miss Hanley’s friend who uses science in her role as a nurse. The children participated in a science investigation about infections and the importance of washing your hands. The children had a special visit from some feathery creatures which linked nicely to our topic: Healthy Living Things.

The children had fun coming to school in their pyjamas, participating in a quiz and reading a passage from their favourite book.
