Last week, Years 5 and 6 took part in Young Voices at the O2 Arena in London, along with 9000 other children and what an experience it was! We were lucky enough to have four suites so we really felt like VIPs for the day. We arrived earlier than planned so ate our lunch before being taken to our suites. The children took part in the warm up and rehearsals so they knew what to expect. We also took part in a Wicked Worldwide Singalong which was live streamed across the globe! A

This morning, Year One enjoyed an exciting trip to Three Hills, where they took part in a fun-filled range of agility activities alongside children from other schools. Throughout the morning, the children rotated around different challenges designed to develop balance, coordination, speed and teamwork. From obstacle courses to quick movement games, everyone joined in with enthusiasm and a real willingness to try their best. It was lovely to see the children supporting one ano

Do you like eggs for breakfast, or maybe for lunch or dinner? Well in PSHE Year 2's whole lesson was about...you guessed it...eggs! Together, we had the chance to look at real life eggs, we observed their different colour, the speckles on some and not others and the different sizes of our eggs. After this, came the exciting part, we got to crack our eggs into bowls. We had to work as a team so that we didn't get any on the floor (Shame Mrs Semple wasn't as careful!) We then p

Today we took five children to Dover College so they could participate in a Maths Challenge Competition. Each of seven teams were given problem solving, teamwork puzzles, relay and quick fire challenges to do, along with sudoku and a maths terminology crossword challenge. Each puzzle was worth differing points which were added up at the end. The staff at Dover College were very welcoming and offered us a most amazing lunch. When it was time to announce the final scores, the H

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

In Science this term we are learning about Materials. Last week, in Year 1, we had a Recycling Relay to learn about recycling materials. There was a mix of recyclable items at one end of the hall and labelled bins at the other. One by one, the children had to run to pick an item and put it in the correct bin. It was exciting to see everyone thinking carefully about where each item should go while having lots of fun running around. By the end, all the recycling was sorted cor

Ducklings have been developing their early maths skills by exploring and recognising number patterns. The children focused on identifying numbers using dice patterns, helping them to link quantities with numerals. To apply this learning, the children worked in pairs to play a simple track game. They took turns rolling a dice, counting the spots and moving their counters along the track. The aim was to reach number 10 first. This engaging, hands-on activity, supported the EYFS
