We just want to say thank you to everyone who has filled in stars and/or created model space rockets, space stations, satellites, aliens or planets. They are truly amazing – in fact, we think they are ‘OUT OF THIS WORLD’. Our classroom looks wonderful and, most importantly, the children are very proud of their work and love talking about them with friends.
There was brilliant balancing, wonderful welly wanging and riotous racing at our Sports’ morning. Here are some photographs to make you smile.
Year 3 spent the day totally immersed in numbers on National Numeracy Day. We started the day with a very interesting guest speaker – a paralegal from Capital One, who told us all about her Maths journey. The children came up with some great questions. Then Year 3 learnt all about money and banking. We spent some time examining a bank statement to understand what it all meant. We then discovered that dancers also use number – and we learned a great dance routine with ‘Strictly’ dancer Katya (which got faster and faster!)
We had a quick revisit of French numbers in the afternoon, and some of us got to go to the Big Number Natter Cafe. We got to enjoy dressing up as people who work with numbers or number-related outfits. What a fantastic day we had.

The FS children enjoyed taking part in a Little Liturgy to celebrate Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven. They joined in with prayer, singing with actions and reflecting on the Good News Jesus has risen. They also joined in with the Lords Prayer with Makaton signs.
It was wonderful this morning to celebrate Mass in our church with Father David, parents, carers and parishioners. The children who took part with readings, prayers and poetry were confident, thoughtful and precise and, as for the singing, it was glorious, powerful and brought joy to our hearts.
The Rainbow Fish have continued to enjoy exploring the counting collections. They have been working with larger amounts of objects, using their knowledge of number bonds and grouping to count and record.
Year 3 were given a challenge by Willy Wonka this week! As part of their ”Changing States’ topic they were asked to find the quickest way to melt chocolate for his chocolate river.
In their groups, our busy scientists quickly got to work finding different ways to melt chocolate and timing how long it took. They recorded their results and their experiments using iPads and learned how to create a PicCollage to present their findings. A fantastic investigation and we resisted the temptation to eat the chocolate…at least not the squares used, shh!
Year 6 are busy preparing for their National Assessments in a couple of weeks. Today, they have revised prepositions using Playdough! They had to work in teams to use as many prepositions in a sentence as possible and represent it with playdough – there were 49 in total! Our winning groups found 38 in total. Take a look at our creative way of revising SPaG this week…
