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 have been doing lots of fun activities based on the story of 'The Gingerbread Man'. Today we enjoyed cooking and making our own gingerbread men. The children were a little worried that they may run away too but fortunately we managed to catch them and eat them!
Year 6 have been learning about parenthesis this week! 
We wrote a character description that included different forms of parenthesis and then made a chocolate frog box to present them as Harry Potter collectibles! 
They were very tricky to make but they all persevered and should be very proud!
Year 2 have had an amazing afternoon meeting children's author Tracey Corderoy as part of the Shropshire Bookfest Readers to Writers project. We loved listening to Tracey retelling some of her stories and finding out about how she collects ideas, plans and changes her stories. We can't wait to start making our own books for the competition!
The Reception class have been investigating solid shapes. They have made cone story characters, cuboid buildings and cylinder people. They finished the week by creating their own Jack-in-a -box using cubes.
In year 4 we have been learning about how and why River landscapes change over time. We learnt the words 'erosion', 'transportation' and 'deposition' and explored the effects of these.
The Year 6s have completed a treasure hunt as part of their English lesson! 
In groups, they had to work out clues to different word classes and sentence forms to help decipher their next location around the school
Year 1 have been studying 2D shapes this week. We know how to name common shapes and identify their properties. We made some amazing pictures using 2D shapes.
In Science Year 3 have been learning about the components of soil. When we mixed water with soil it split into different layers. We could then identify what type of soil it was.
In Science this week Year 6 have been investigating whether the amount of volts in a circuit change the brightness of a bulb.
In Geography this week Year 6 have been exploring Polar day and Polar night. In groups we demonstrated the rotation of the earth in relation to the position of the sun to see why it happens
Year 1 have been spending their literacy sessions this half term learning the story of the Queen’s Hat by Steve Antony. Today we finished writing our own versions of the story about how the hat went missing. The children have worked so hard making their story books and illustrating them. Well done super stars!
Year 2 are having lots of fun learning our times tables. This week we have been playing lots of games to help us learn the 10 times table.
Year 4 have been using the art technique of pointillism to create some beautiful river landscapes!
