In science the year 2 children have been looking around the school grounds for micro-habitats. We went into the forest school and looked under the logs. We found lots of different creepy crawlies. Some of the children were feeling brave enough to hold some of them.

This week the children in year 2 have enjoyed a range of activities linked to Anti-bully Week. We have celebrated being unique by wearing our odd socks to school and in class we watched video clips showing different types of bullying. The children then completed work to show their understanding of the difference between bullying and being unkind and then thought about feelings linked to being bullied.

Year 1 have continued their exploration of odd and even numbers in maths this week. They have explored how odd and even numbers can be partitioned and if there are any rules and patterns to how they can be partitioned.

In Science this week, Year 1 have started their new topic of animals including humans. This week they explored matching body parts and names and then linking them to the senses.

In Year 1 our writing lessons have been very busy this week. We have started our new writing journey based on the book Handa's Surprise. To help generate ideas for adjectives this week, the children enjoyed tasting may of the fruits from the story - exploring the shape, colour, texture and taste of the fruits. The children then used these adjectives to write sentences about the fruits. The children then retold the story to their partner using the story maps they created.

Year 1 have started their first Geography topic this week. This is another exciting area of learning for the children to begin. They worked collaboratively today to understand what Geography is and the difference between human and physical geography.

Y5 really enjoyed used the drama strategies of freeze frame and role play to generate ideas for vocabulary to use in their own writing.

To kickstart our English learning journey on The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo, children in Year 4 took part in a pre-teach lesson. They explored the African savanna, its climate and the animals that live there. This has helped them build background knowledge so they can write more creatively in their narratives. Stay tuned!

Year 3 took part in an anti-bullying workshop yesterday, where they explored the roles of the victim, bully, and bystander. They created freeze-frames to demonstrate their understanding.

Reception has read a book about Rama and Sita this week. These stories are shared at Diwali. We have learnt about how people celebrate during this festival.

Y5 really enjoyed their poetry papering session where they had the time to explore and enjoy a wide range of poems. We all really enjoyed it!

Year 1 have continued to explore the 'pulse' in their music lessons using their voices.
