Class 1 enjoyed their first celebration of learning this week. They have worked so hard and each got to take home a very special bear 🐻



I am so proud of the writing and creativity I am seeing in class 1 at the moment…










It was so exciting for Class Two to take part in their first ever Celebration of Learning with their parents and grandparents this week. The children have worked incredibly hard answering this term’s expedition question ‘How Can We Care for the Bears?’. Why not check out our expedition website here where you can find out all about what we got up to…

We are so proud of our final product and hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
The children certainly deserved to take home their own teddy bear as a lasting legacy of their hard work this term. Well done Class Two, I can’t wait to see what the next expedition has in store!

We are very proud of these mathematicians in class five – they have been working really hard on SumDog and all finished in the top ten spots of our leaderboard!
I wonder who will be in the top ten next time?

We have been designing and making our very own catapults in class this week. We brushed up on our measuring skills and spoke about how to make our experiment a fair one. We had a great time and produced some fantastic products.

Grappling with building our designs.











Testing our designs


















The children have blown us away with the extended study they have completed this week! Just look at these amazing catapults they have designed and made with their families! We really do have lots of design technologists in class five!






The children in Class 2 enjoyed the challenge of drawing 2D shapes as they arrived at school. Some children also had a go at writing the initial sounds of the shapes. What a great start to the day!
