Reception Class

Reception jumped into a Drawing Club adventure with Popeye and his superhuman strength. They loved sketching the mighty sailor, and their magic codes transformed him into all sorts of funny things (even Mrs. Phillpot)! Several children impressed us by writing sentence codes with capital letters, finger spaces, full stops, and number‑bond codes.

PE day for Reception Class is on Mondays

Year 5 & 6

In science this week, the children took part in a hands‑on investigation exploring how different beak shapes affect a bird’s ability to gather food, linking their discoveries to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Using a range of tools to represent beaks, they tested which adaptations were most effective for different food types. The classroom was buzzing with excitement, curiosity and problem‑solving as pupils worked like real scientists-it was fantastic to see them so engaged in bringing evolutionary ideas to life.

PE days for Year 5 & Year 6 are Thursdays and Fridays
