Year 6 Volume
Year 6 finished their unit of learning in maths by learning about volume. We used concrete resources to construct given shapes and help us calculate volume accurately. This helped to eradicate the common misconception of only counting the cubes that can be seen! The children soared with…
Formal Letters
In English this week, the children planned, wrote, edited and published their formal letters. The children were tasked to write from the character point of view of King Eurystheus in the Twelve Labours of Heracles, which required us carefully selecting appropriate language choices to…

Willow Class: Bird Classification Stars!
This week, Willow Class became "Bird Detectives" as we dived into Lower Key Stage 2 Science. We’ve been learning how to group living things by looking at their unique features.
What We Learnt:
• Bird Basics: We identified that while all birds have feathers and lay eggs, they can look…
CAD - Greenpower
Oak Class had a blast tinkering using CAD in DT this week! We used computer aided design to build our own 3D steering wheels in preparation for our Greenpower project portfolio!
Romeo and Juliet Ballet
Oak and Willow worked in small groups to create a short ballet performance for the last scene of Romeo and Juliet!
Grouping Living Things: Vertebrates and Invertebrates
In our first science lesson, Willow sorted animals into groups based on shared characteristics. They identified B-road groups of animals including vertebrates and invertebrates recording their data in a Carroll and Venn diagram.
Electrical circuit components
Oak Class started their unit of work about electricity by learning about and correcting matching the symbols used to the correct electrical circuit component. We revisited prior learning and discussed the difference between a good electrical conductor and a good electrical insulator. The…
DT - scale models
As part of the Greenpower Goblin project we are participating in with the academy, Oak Class measured the chassis of the car in order to create their own scale models in groups. The children decorated their models in line with our chosen theme and evaluated their work using our ‘talk like a…
Making biscuits
Pig the Pug watched us completed our final task for “Travelling Tales.” We decorated some special Pug biscuits ready for Ralph’s visit later this week!
DT Paper sculptures
This week in Design Technology we created sculptures using paper! We tried out techniques for rolling, folding and fastening the paper to the base.
Egyptian Artefacts!
Willow loved looking through some real life Egyptian Artefacts!
