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.
Year 6 have been enjoying acting out chapters of their new English unit book ‘Letters from the Lighthouse’. We have focused on characterisation and linked the drama with emotive language to help with our perspective writing next week. 
In Y5 we have been using primary and secondary historical sources to learn about daily life in Ancient Greece. 
The Reception class have been studying animals as part of their topic, 'Animal Safari'. Last week, they finished making their animal masks. Here are a few of the photos taken.
Year 1 are learning about the artist James Rizzi and making colourful street art work using bold primary and secondary colours. We have made a collaborative puzzle based on his style! 
In Art this half term Year 3 have been looking at the history of mosaics before focusing on colours and patterns found in Roman mosaics. We then designed and made our own mosaic tiles. We love all of your unique designs!
Year 6 have had lots of fun building their bridges this week with Mr C.
They demonstrated excellent team work and construction skills.
We will put their designs to the test next week! 
Year 4 have been investigating which materials are conductors and insulators and created their own experiment. They are superb scientists!
The Reception class have been investigating a range of African musical instruments this week. We all had a chance to play them and to think about the way the sounds were produced.
Year 1 are learning about Creation in Religious Education this half term. We learnt about the Christian story of Creation and made these beautiful collaborative collages based on the 7 days of Creation. 
Year 1 are learning about Traditional Tales in literacy this half term. We are currently reading Cinderella and did some fantastic drama last week in groups. We had some super acting! This week we are going to enjoy writing some character descriptions. 
We had a real surprise in Year 2 this week as our tiny seeds have really started to grow over the holidays. Our next step is to plant them out in the veg patch and wait and see how big they will get!
