Reception - Considerate Learners

A delightful story, "The Little Red Hen," led to a heart-warming discussion in class. The children brainstormed ways in which the could keep eggs safe while the hen was away. Their thoughtful responses revealed their growing vocabulary and storytelling skills.

Reception - Learning through Exploration

Moreover, our Reception class embarked on a nature walk to create self-portraits using natural materials. This activity encouraged self-awareness, emotional expression, and collaboration while enhancing descriptive language.

Year 3 - STEAM Confident

Our Year 3 students are truly shining in their STEAM endeavours. They recently embarked on an independent research mission, exploring various dinosaur facts. Equipped with laptops, they skilfully gathered data on dinosaur height, weight, speed, and the oldest fossil, all in preparation for creating their own Dinosaur Top Trumps card game.
They seamlessly handled units of measurement, from pounds to kilograms, feet to metres, and miles per hour to kilometres per hour. This cross-curricular learning opportunity also ties into our upcoming Maths curriculum.
In addition to their research prowess, their teamwork, problem-solving abilities, and dedication to the task were truly impressive.

Year 6 STEAM Considerate

Year 6 students have been participating in an exciting code-breaking competition as part of our STEAM and Computing curriculum. They worked collaboratively, demonstrating consideration for each other's ideas while aiming to crack various codes. They received constructive feedback, which motivated them to push their limits in the competition. Both at school and at home, they put their skills to the test, competing with schools worldwide.
