The Reception class had a fantastic day out at 'The Exotic Zoo' yesterday. The children saw a range of animals in different habitats. It was a great starting point for our new topic 'Animal safari'.
In Y5, we are learning about Ancient Greece. We used freeze-frame photography to retell the story of The Labours of Heracles (also known as Hercules). ![]()

The Reception class had a great time during their outdoor learning session this week. They worked together to create dens and made pathways for their lorries and diggers. Some children even took the dinosaurs for a ride. It was lovely to see everyone helping each other and cooperating so well.
Y5 have been working hard on our soup making project. This week, we prepared, tasted and evaluated our own soup recipes. ![]()
In DT this week we have been focusing on the influential designer, William Morris. We have planned our own furnishing and created a prototype of our design. Our next step is to print it onto fabric!
In Art Year 3 have enjoyed learning printing techniques. We created these amazing ammonite prints using a simple motif and experimenting with different colours.
Year 1 have been learning about instruction writing this week! We have travelled back in time to Thomas Farriner's bakery in 1666 and learnt about how to bake bread
. Then we wrote a set of instructions for others to follow.
The Reception class have been busy creating plates of their favourite food using collage materials. We had some interesting combinations!
In Y2 we have been busy germinating seeds as part of our Plant Survival topic. We were very surprised to find these beans were growing roots even though they weren't in any soil! Next we are going to investigate what they will need to help them grow and survive.
Year 4 had the best day conducting their stream Investigations... and a little play in between!
Year 6 have worked really hard on their enviromental Art.
