Anti-Bullying Ambassadors
Our Weekly Anti-Bullying Meeting
This week the Anti-Bullying ambassadors have been thinking about what bullying is and isn’t. They are going to produce a leaflet to inform all of the classes in school.
Computing
Budding Inventors
Class 13 have been busy inventing different types of wearable technology. They began by looking at products that are already available, then worked in teams to design their own. They have thought of some fantastic inventions such as times tables bracelets, mistaken scanners and an ear-piece which records the teacher if you nod off in class. Now they have completed their designs, the next step will be making a prototype. Look at our blog next Read more…
Physical Education
Gymnastics – Making sequences
In P.E class 11 have been exploring ways in which they can move and balance and put them into sequences including asymmetric and symmetric balances in between. They practised and then presented their routines to each other, which they then discussed and gave constructive feedback about.
Class 14 (2023)
Science
Class 3 have been investigating which objects are magnetic. We then made our very own magnetic fishing game. We created magnetic fishing rods and attached metal paper clips to our fish.
Mathematics
Fun with friction
Time for an investigation! our current science topic is forces and magnets and this week our focus was on friction. We wanted to see evidence of how friction works against a certain force so we conducted an investigation. We discussed fair testing and agreed on a hypothesis. We then set off equipped with our Newton Meters to test which surfaces created the least and the most friction using weighted buckets.

Reading Buddies
Class 4 are really enjoying their ‘Reading Buddy’ sessions with Class 12. Their buddies are helping them to learn their key words and help build up their fluency in reading.
Class 13 (2023)
Investigating Magnets
As part of their topic work on ‘Materials’, Class 4 have been investigating which materials are magnetic and which aren’t. They discovered that all the magnetic objects they found were made of metal, but that not all metals were magnetic. They used this this knowledge to create their own magnetic fishing game.
Class 11
Animal soup!
In the Nursery this week we have been learning about vegetables and reading the story ‘Animal soup’. We helped to prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping them. We were very good at using the knives and peelers. Watch out Gordon Ramsey! We have some great future chefs in the making! We invited our Mummies and Daddies in to help us eat it!
