Our KS1 classes had a great virtual author lesson recently with Tom Palmer and Carolina Rabei. They spoke about their book ‘War Dog’ which looks at a true story of a dog called Judy that helped soldiers in the war. The children then made drawings of Judy the dog in challenge time!

Our sports ambassadors had their first meeting recently. They had a chat through their roles and responsibilities and what they think would improve play and lunch times to make children more active. They came up with some great ideas so watch this space!!

Our new KS1 science club is really popular ☺️ At the first session the children learnt how to write secret messages using lemon juice! 🍋

The children in KS1 have been learning different painting techniques and skills this term. They have then applied them in a Georgia O’Keefe inspired painting. The Y2 has shown she can mix light and dark shades, and use them appropriately in her work. “I’m an artist!”, she said

The children in KS1 had a virtual author session this afternoon, listening to Katy Ashworth and Colleen Larmour read their book ‘This, That, What’. They then were taught how to draw a character from the book. Miss Newton was really pleased with these Y2s, and they all earned a superstar sticker

The nursery children have been making vegetable soup this week. Mrs Goucher happened to pop in just as they were serving it up, and there was a spare portion available for her to try! It was delicious; thank you nursery children for doing such a good job. We've definitely got some future chefs in there 😉
