Can I cook and eat like a Stone Age man? , by Miss Jones
Date: 3rd Oct 2016 @ 8:37pm
We have been busy bees in year 3 this afternoon. As part of our topic, from Stone Age to Iron Age, we prepared and cooked stewed fruit with hazelnuts and honeycomb. We followed a Stone Age recipe; carefully measuring all of the ingredients before slowly stewing the fruit. Thank you to Mrs Hilsden for cooking with us. Tomorrow we will taste our creations and evaluate our finished product.

Year 3 trip to Tesco, by Miss Jones
Date: 29th Sep 2016 @ 6:17pm
We all had a brilliant time on Tuesday, when we went to Tesco for the Farm to Fork Trail. Our guide was called Alan and he knew lots of foodie facts. We started off doing a fruit and vegetable hunt to explore different ways to get our 5 a day. We got to try lots of fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the shelves! We even tried raw broccoli! After that, we visited the sugar and cereal section to discuss just how much sugar we should be eating everyday. We also learnt how to read food labels to check the amount of sugar in our favourite breakfast cereals. At the end of the trail, we went into the warehouse to see behind the scenes at Tesco. This is where we made our own healthy, low sugar cereal.
The children's behaviour on the bus and in Tesco was absolutely fantastic so they were all awarded 'attitude of the day'.

European Day of Languages, by Mrs Hover
Date: 29th Sep 2016 @ 6:47am
On Monday 26th September, Year 4 spent the morning celebrating 'European Day of Languages'. Activities included using atlases to find the outline of different European countries and matching countries to their flags. In groups, the children researched either Scotland, Germany, Italy, Spain or Poland looking at capital cities, population, famous landmarks, food... creating an information board on their findings. They then presented their European countries to the rest of the class.
On Tuesday, the children thoroughly enjoyed learning some Polish from Franek. Franek taught us lots of words, read to us in Polish and shared some tongue twisters which were really funny!

Year 1 on an Autumn Walk, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 16th Sep 2016 @ 9:26pm
Year 1 have begun learning about the weather changes and signs of Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk to find out how many of these signs could be found in our school woods. The explorers managed to find most of the Autumn signs although they did notice that there were not many piles of leaves yet!
The class also enjoyed developing their ability to read numbers up to 100 whilst developing their turn taking and gamesmanship skills playing snakes and ladders. I wonder how many numbers they can read on signs, packaging and at home over the weekend?

First week in year 3, by Miss Jones
Date: 14th Sep 2016 @ 8:37pm
What a busy week it has been!
The children have settled into year 3 really well and have enjoyed their first week in KS2. They have had a treasure hunt around the classroom to explore their new environment. They also enjoyed having a 'walk and talk' summer holiday catch up. On Thursday we had an 'all about me' theme to the day and learnt a lot about one another in literacy, maths and circle time. We have also been very creative and have had a go at ink blowing and self-portrait sketching. The children's art work will go on display soon so keep your eyes peeled ...

Y1 SRE WEEK, by Miss Lynch
Date: 14th Jul 2016 @ 11:46am
The children enjoyed taking part in a range of circle time activities this week. The biggest thing the children learned was how to identify the gender of a new born baby girl and a new born baby boy. Over half of the class used the baby's face and hair style to decide on the gender. After lots of discussion the children learned that we look at the baby's private parts to decide. This led nicely on to what the children call their own private parts. After that, the children learned the scientifc names for these private parts. As you can imagine, there were lots of laughs and giggles throughout this particular lesson!
Areas covered:
Feelings
People who help us
How to keep clean
Naming private parts
Famillies
