What a cracking week we’ve had in Class 2! 🐣 In English, we’ve been chirping away about an adorable little chick, carefully choosing and applying verbs and adverbs to bring our writing to life. The children have truly hatched some egg-cellent sentences! In Maths, we’ve continued our work on division, and today we cracked on with doubling and halving—cracking problems like pros! In DT the children built their fantastic Ferris wheels. They worked egg-stra hard, supporting each other, showing resilience, and getting creative! Yesterday’s Easter service was simply egg-ceptional ! The children behaved beautifully and proudly showed the rest of the school their stunning spinners, which helped tell the Easter story in a truly special way. All in all, it’s been a fantastic end to a fantastic term. Enjoy the holiday and we will see you all soon, refreshed and ready for a new term of learning and fun! 🐰🌷

  The children had a busy and creative week participating in Easter/Spring activities. They practised their Easter poem for the church service and learnt about Easter in R.E. They also learnt about baby animals in Science and used images of baby lambs and chicks to create collages. Reception children also learnt about dinosaurs and created their own mini dinosaur habitat. The children had fun decorating spring wreaths and doing Easter colourings. They also went on an Easter egg hunt outside which they thoroughly enjoyed.  

Class 4 Half-Term Homework Spellings Each week Class 4 will have a new set of spellings that will be posted on the blog. Please support your child with learning these over the week. Thank you. This week's spelling pattern is Year 5 and 6 statutory spelling words. Please learn as many of these as you can over the 2 weeks. Year 5 and Year 6 Spellings Maths Each week there will be Maths homework assigned to the children on Maths.co.uk. The pupils have all received their log in details, but if there are any problems or your child has lost their log in details please speak to Miss Barber. These are short and focused quizzes to support the pupils across all areas in Maths.  With the new updates to Maths.co.uk, I am now able to set two separate objectives (a year 5 objective and a year 6 objective). This should now be able to support their progression according to their age. Please complete by the end of the week. Thank you. Have a lovely break! Mrs Campbell :)

Class 4's Eggscellent Week A Cracking End to the Half-Term in Class 4! Class 4 had an eggscellent last week before the half-term break! The children have been busy putting the finishing touches on their fantastic fairy tale stories, showing great creativity and imagination. In maths, they explored different methods for working with fractions, building their confidence and problem-solving skills. PE was a real highlight, with the class enjoying a session of walking football —a fun and inclusive way to keep active while working as a team. We wrapped up the week with our Open Door event, where families got a glimpse of the amazing work the children have been doing. The Easter service was a beautiful way to end the term, bringing us all together in celebration. It’s been an amazing half-term , full of learning, fun, and achievements. The children have worked incredibly hard, and they’ve truly earned a well-deserved break to refresh and reset . We can’t wait to see them return after...
