Week beginning 5th October 2026

The children have been busy learning lots of new things this week!

Maths

The Year 2 children have finished their place value topic and have now begun learning about addition and subtraction. They have been exploring number bonds to 10 and 20 and using their prior knowledge to work out number facts to 100.

The Year 3 children have been adding and subtracting multiples of 100, adding 1s across a multiple of 10 and adding 10s across a multiple of 100. They have been working hard to develop their mental maths skills!

English

This week, we have been animal experts! Working in small groups, the children have been learning all about ducks, foxes and bees. They have been gathering lots of interesting facts about their chosen animal, ready to use in their writing. Today we interviewed each other and recorded this on 'showbie' so we could really test our knowledge! Next week, we will begin organising our knowledge into different categories to help us prepare for writing our own non-chronological reports.

Science

Our Science learning has focused on healthy eating and how keeping clean helps us to stay healthy. We discussed different foods and the food groups they belong to before sorting foods into different categories. The children enjoyed sharing their ideas and thinking about how we can make healthy choices.

Geography

In Geography this week, we identified the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and located them on a map. We then explored the capital cities of each country and identified the seas that surround the UK. The children enjoyed developing their map skills and learning more about the geography of our country.

Art

The children really enjoyed their Art lesson this week! We explored abstract pictures of flowers, looking closely at how different shapes can be used to represent flowers in creative and imaginative ways. We then used our own imaginations to design and create our very own abstract flower pictures. The children produced some lovely, individual pieces of artwork!

Pupils of the Week

A huge well done to Ronnie and Maeve, who were chosen as our Pupils of the Week!

Ronnie has been showing exceptional attitude towards his learning, he has really been trying to focus and tries his best in most if not all subjects. He has produced some fantastic art and has really enjoyed learning about countries in geography.

Maeve has really impressed Miss Beer with her efforts in English, she has tried hard to contribute to discussions and include lots of information in her writing.

99 Club Achievements

A big well done to Emily, Frankie and Harry, who were awarded their 99 Club badges this week. What a fantastic achievement!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

Week beginning 21st September 2026

What a wonderful week which has been significantly drier than last week. The children have been amazingly patient this week with the changes in staff due to illness. I have had the pleasure of hearing all about our wonderful, hardworking children and what they have been getting up to in school.

In Maths, we are almost at the end of our Place Value unit. We have one more week before we move on to Addition and Subtraction.

This week, the Year 3 children have been estimating numbers on a number line up to 1,000, comparing and ordering numbers to 1,000, and counting in 50s.

In Year 2, the focus has been on using number lines to count in 1s and 10s to 100, estimating numbers on a number line and comparing objects.

In English, we have continued with our grammar focus. We have been identifying the subject in a sentence and looking at single and independent clauses.

We have found some of this quite tricky, but we have persevered and are looking forward to starting a new topic next week.

Our Science learning has focused on animal life cycles. We explored what a life cycle is, looked at the life cycles of different animals and worked together to put the different stages in the correct order.

In Computing, we have been identifying computers around our school as well as in our homes. We have discussed what makes a computer a computer and compared different types of computers.

We have also learnt that some computers use batteries while others need to be plugged into electricity, but they all need some form of energy input from one of these sources.

A huge well done to Kayden and Jack, who were chosen as our Pupils of the Week!

This week's value was being responsible. Kayden has shown real responsibility in his learning this week. He always tries his very best in every lesson and is not afraid to ask for help when he needs it.

Jack was chosen by Mrs Rowe, who has been so impressed with how well Jack has got on with his work this week.

Well done to you both!

A big well done to Emily and Jack, who were awarded their badges for the 99 Club this week. What a fantastic achievement!

Well done to everyone this week. There were so many children showing our school values and working incredibly hard that we could have chosen more than one Pupil of the Week!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

week beginning 14th September 2026

We have had another productive week at school! The children have been amazing and have been fully immersed in all of their learning. We are becoming more familiar with our new classes, routines and teachers, and it has been lovely to see everyone settling in so well.

In Maths, we have continued our work on place value. We have been working with larger numbers, adding and subtracting different amounts, and exploring what happens to each digit when numbers change.

In English, we have been revisiting common and proper nouns and learning about different types of verbs. We have explored regular and irregular verbs, as well as verbs such as ‘to be’ and ‘to have’.

Our Science learning has focused on the differences between young and adult animals. We have been learning about the different names given to young animals and exploring how they look different from their adult counterparts.

In Computing, we have been learning about the different buttons found on various types of computers and what each button does. We then used our creativity to design our own robots and decided what each button on our robot could do. I was particularly impressed by the wonderfully creative ideas the children came up with!

In PE, we started our yoga unit. The children created their own sequences of yoga moves and thought carefully about how they could transition smoothly between different shapes and positions. They showed great creativity, concentration and control.

A huge well done to Evie, who was chosen as our Pupil of the Week! This week's value was being responsible, which Evie consistently demonstrates in the classroom, with her friends and around the school. Well done, Evie!

A big well done to Felix and Rosie, who were awarded their badges for the 99 Club this week. What a fantastic achievement!

Well done to everyone for working so hard and for continuing to follow our school values. We are incredibly proud of all the children and the positive attitudes they have shown this week. Keep up the fantastic work!

What an amazing first week back after the summer holidays!

It has been wonderful to see everyone return to school with such big smiles, positive attitudes and lots of enthusiasm. The children have settled back into our routines brilliantly and have shown just how ready they are for another exciting year of learning.

We have been busy getting to know our new routines, reconnecting with friends and teachers, and getting stuck into our learning. There has been so much enthusiasm, curiosity and kindness throughout the week, and we are incredibly proud of everyone.

We have got stuck straight into our new topic for the term, 'What Makes Our World Go Around?' We started by exploring what we already know about our world and thinking carefully about what makes it go around. We then worked together to compile lots of interesting questions about what we would like to find out during our topic.

In Maths, we have started our work on place value, developing our understanding of the value of digits within numbers.

In English, we have been learning about common nouns and proper nouns. We have explored the differences between them and enjoyed sorting and categorising different examples.

Our Science learning has focused on what animals need to survive. We have been thinking about the things animals need in order to stay healthy and alive and sharing our ideas.

In Geography, we have been developing our map skills by using atlases and globes to identify and locate the world's oceans and continents.

It has been such a busy and exciting first week, and we are incredibly proud of how well everyone has settled in and embraced their learning.

Well done to Frankie, Hudson and Arlo who have been picked this week for 'pupil of the week'. They have all tried really hard to follow the school values this week, well done!
