When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.

The Reception class picked their lettuces today. If you took one home, we hope you enjoyed it! Continuing our theme about the sea, the children studied the painting 'Les Betes de la Mer' by Matisse and created our own class version.
In Geography, Year One have been learning about litter and how to be responsible for our local environment. In forest school today, the children used litter pickers to clean up the woodland and playground! They have been really passionate about helping our local animals thrive and cleaning up our planet. 
As part of our science and PSHE work we have been learning about ourselves and other animals. This week we have been learning about healthy lifestyles and how to keep our hearts healthy. Look at what we have been finding out

The Year 6s have been practising their sewing ready for their make do and mend creations next week.
We practised: running stitch, whip stitch and blanket stitch.
Can’t wait to see what they create! 
Year 4 had a fantastic afternoon at Haycop Nature Reserve taking part in an invertebrate hunt! We discovered different invertebrates in different microhabitats and made some very intriguing finds!
The Reception class are having great success with their growing area. We have harvested our second bowl of stawberries, the broad beans are growing well and we are going to sample our lettuces later this week.
Children in Nursery have enjoyed climbing trees at Welly Wanderers this week. They showed great control over their bodies and thought about how to keep themselves safe!
In Year 3 we have been learning about forces and the effect of friction on a moving vehicle.
In Y5 we are learning about light in Science. We worked in pairs to make models to show how light travels and how we see objects around us.
The children in Y2 have been working hard to become times table masters. Well done to everybody who for being a super speedy 2x 5x 10x tables master!
Year 1 went to Blists Hill Victorian town to continue their learning about the Victorians this term. We had the best day! Here is what we did:
1. A delivery workshop where we had to deliver letters all across the Victorian town. We visited Farriner's bakery and had home made flapjacks and learnt all about different equipment used to measure and weigh.
2. Read traditional tales in each of the places we delivered post to!
3. Learnt how to candle dip and made our own colourful rainbow candles.
4. Had a lesson in a Victorian school room by a Victorian teacher (she wasn't too scary!)
We also had a taste of some Victorian chips and met some interesting characters like the police man and the horses.
Well done year 1 
In Maths, the Year 6s have been retrieving their knowledge of angles from the Autumn term. In pairs, they had to draw different types of angles for their partner to measure with a protractor and name correctly.
