Last term, Year 1 combined our DT and literacy learning by creating our own ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ puppets. Before making our puppets, the children designed their characters, thinking carefully about the features they wanted to include and the materials they would need. They then used their designs to create colourful and imaginative Wild Things, with every puppet being unique.

Last week, our Ducklings began their learning about journeys and the different ways people travel. Through a range of exciting activities, the children have explored transport past and present, comparing old and new cars and discussing how these vehicles have changed over time. The children enjoyed designing and drawing their own vehicles before bringing their ideas to life by building cardboard cars. They also used Lego to construct imaginative cars, developing their creativ

Last term, our Ducklings were very busy creating their own colourful bookmarks using needles, embroidery thread and binca. This activity gave the children the opportunity to practise and apply threading skills while developing their fine motor control and hand-eye coordination. With some help, the children carefully threaded their needles and explored different colours and patterns as they stitched their bookmarks. They showed great concentration, perseverance and pride in th

Year Five enjoyed two full days of Design and Technology, which gave us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in our learning and explore our topics in depth. On Day One, we focused on structures. The children investigated different types of bridges and explored how structural strength can be affected by shape, design and materials. We began by exploring structures using our own bodies. The children had great fun creating different formations, carefully considering stren

This week, Year 6 have had lots of fun designing and making their very own playgrounds. They thought carefully about what they like about playgrounds they have visited and decided on a theme for their own. They had to include: something to hide in or under, something to climb, something that moves and of course it had to be fun and aesthetically pleasing! The children used their knowledge of building 'A frames' including the triangulation method to add strength to the struct

Year 1 had an amazing day making their own fruit smoothies! They started by learning how fruits grow and how flowers turn into tasty fruits. 🌱🍎 Next, the children became smoothie designers, choosing their favourite fruits, using a class word bank, writing ingredient lists and creating bright, colourful labels for their cups. After learning about knife safety and chopping their fruit carefully, each child added their ingredients to a blender to make their very own smoothie.

Last week our history lesson was all about mummification and what they used to do when a Pharoah died. We learnt all kinds of fairly gruesome things! But very interesting that they were treated with the utmost care and attention to detail. Some of their organs were stored in canopic jars and were placed in the tomb. There are four jars: Hapi protects the lungs, Imesty guards the liver, Duamatef protects the stomach and Qebehsenuf protects the intestines ready to enter the aft

Year 4 had a very exciting Tuesday morning, as they got the opportunity to visit Block 67 to take part in a fun workshop. The children looked at various artists whose artwork is based on chain reactions. Some brilliant questions were being asked, as well as ideas for their own creations. To start, the children got the opportunity to draw their own ideas down, which showed lots of fascinating designs. Then, in groups, the children got the opportunity to create their own marble
