Congratulations to our group of pupils from Year 2 who have taken part in a cricket events at Lunts Heath School this week.

This was the first time they have taken part in an event like this and had the opportunity to represent school. They all did an amazing job and we are so proud of them.

Another wonderful week in Willow Class.

We have fully immersed ourselves in our topic "Let's Go Outside" this week. We have focused on Growing and we have been learning about the life cycle of a Sunflower 🌻

We read the story "Sam Plants a Sunflower." In the story, Sam is given advice from a ladybird and worm, Sam plants seeds, waters them, and patiently watches them grow from tiny shoots into large yellow sunflowers that turn towards the sun.

We then planted our very sunflower seeds. The children are going to take care of the seeds, just like Sam, and we are very excited to see thes seeds grow and change.

In Forest school, we were creating loose parts sunflowers using leaves, sticks and other natural resources. The children love our adventures in the forest 🌿 🌻 🌳

In our Drawing Club, we have been continuing to draw and write about "Oi Frog." The setting for each of the characters has a rhyming pattern to them for example: frog on a log, cat on a mat, puffin on a muffin. Then the children created some wonderful adventures for the story.

What an enjoyable week! We have had a wonderful time this week especially in some great weather!

We have been doing History this week answering the question 'What is a monarch?' The children found out who our current monarch is (Charles the 3rd) and also delved into the past to find out about the Battle of Hastings and how William the Conqueror became King. they loved learning about the tussle for the throne back in 1066!

The children have done some amazing artwork with Mrs Cox this week- all things weaving! They created some excellent pieces using paper, cardboard, wool and string. Just amazing!

In our reading groups, some of the children read an article about a school that introduced wearing slippers to the classroom! This was a great topic of conversation and resulted in a good debate where we shared our own opinions on this!

The weather has been lovely this week so we have done lots of outdoor learning and playing, learning about animals and their habitats both in our afternoon topic provision and morning English lessons. Our story has a wolf, a lynx and a bear in it!

In Maths we have been looking at the composition of 8 - how many different ways can we make 8?

As well as our learning, we've celebrated a birthday and carried out all of our sensory activities as usual - something that is so important for our children's regulation.

This week in Larch class, we have continued with our English work based on the book Journey by Aaron Becker. As the book is wordless, we have been thinking about what the characters may be saying to each other. We have then focused on the punctuation needed for a speech sandwich.

In maths, we have continued our work on multiplication and division but this week shifted our focus onto the 9 times tables. We will be really pushing times tables over the coming weeks in the lead up to the Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check.

In the afternoons, we have written the scripts for our plays. The children all really enjoyed coming up with the characters and plots. Their imaginations really shone through with the characters. We had both a dinosaur with a jet pack and a talking gingerbread man featuring in the plays!

In Oak class this week, we have been focusing on writing a letter to the council (well the council in our story 'The Paperbag Prince') asking them to clean up a 'Poison Pool' that has appeared-the children were really enthused by this and used some highly descriptive language in their writing.

In our History we are looking at the fantastic topic of The Tudors! We have given our opinions on Henry VIII's rule, and learnt about his very famous 6 wives. The children thought the whole thing was fascinating!

Finally, we had the Mental Health support team in to work with us regarding our mental health-in particular exams stress and anxiety in general. The children really got a lot out of this session and hopefully it has helped them think about the next few weeks.

It’s been a lovely, sunny week in Sycamore Class.

We’ve continued exploring our class text, Journey, which has inspired the start of an exciting art project. Pupils are designing their own imaginary worlds, using watercolours and oil pastels to create mixed-media illustrations.

In Years 5 and 6, our afternoon lessons have taken a historical turn. We’ve begun learning about the Tudors, starting with Henry VII—one of my favourite topics to teach!

Meanwhile, Year 3 and 4 pupils have been developing their play scripts in preparation for a trip to The Grange School later this half term, where actors will bring their stories to life.

Monday this week we were using Beech class, we went out and played in the forest and had a picnic snack there. The children made large obstacle courses on the KS1 playground and the boys pretended to play a super fun Minecraft game.

Tuesday we celebrated 'Pay it forward day'. The children wrote complimentary notes for their favourite teachers and either gave them to them or left them on their desks. We finished our session by getting out into the sun and playing on the field.

Wednesday was 'International dance day'. The children created a game of dance tag where they danced around until the person who was on decided to catch them. They had a great time playing this!

Thursday, we went straight up to the field as the weather was beautiful! We ate a picnic snack of crackers, yoghurts and Babybel cheese sitting on blankets. The children also really enjoyed doing a nature scavenger hunt too. They walked around the field looking for different creatures and plants and used petri dishes to examine the bugs and plants more closely! We also played with the footballs and hula hoops.

It has been a great week!
