Formal Written Methods
In Year 5 and 6, the children consolidate their learning the formal written methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (column and bus stop). If you would like to support your child with this at home, please take a look at our calculation policy to see how we teach them at school.
Harvest festival worship at the Church
On Monday 6th October, Willow class visited the church for the harveste festival. It was a wonderful celebration of our farmers and food producers, as well as an oppurtunity to reflect. Thank you to all of those families who donated items, they will go to our food hub that serves our local community. Well done to Max and Amelia who read a bible passage.
Medal workshop with Colin
On Friday last week, our year 6 children from Willow and Maple had a fantastic opportunity to work with Colin from the Royal British Legion. Colin provides a medal mounting service to the armed forces. Colin reached out to our school over the Summer and came in to do a workshop. He has a lot of surplus materials, which means the year 6 children are going to be working on their very own medal set that they will create over the next few weeks. We look forward to showing Colin our creations when he returns to our school on the 6th November for the remembrance service with year 6's.
Road safety
On Wednesday 1st October, we had a road safety lesson with Mrs Hicks and we watched a broadcast. We are now experts in how to stay safe on the roads! Parents - ask us what we learnt!
Religion and worldviews lesson in the Church!
On Monday, Willow and Maple went to the church to learn about how Christians know what God is like. We looked for evidence within the church. It was a great oppurtunity to explore the church and ask Reverend Paul lots of questions about different items within the church.
Board games before the bell!
This morning, Willow class's soft start activity was board games. Everyone enjoyed challenging eachother and there was a wonderful buzz in the classroom!
Miss Cunningham's marvellous maths group!
Today, Miss Cunningham's maths group took their starter outside. They were given a number and they had to put themselves in the correct position on the number line . This was a great opportunity to practice reading aloud our big numbers, as well as being able to compare and order them. There were lots of marvellous mistakes being made and some fantastic team work - well done Miss Cunningham's group!
Invasion netball
Willow class had their PE lesson on Friday (19.9.25). They enjoyed revisiting some basic ball control skills and moving with the ball. They then played a few challenging games of invasion netball. There were some fantastic values of friendship and perseverance on display - well done Willow class!
Most of our class!
Here is a picture of most of our class - we will try and get one with all of the children by the end of the week!
Super superlatives
The children were tour guides around the school today and had to use superlatives when persuading their partner to visit our school. They then used some of the wonderful superlatives they heard and put these into sentences about their location they will be writing about later on in the week.
Religion and world views lesson
On Monday 15th September, Willow class enjoyed looking at artistic representations of different parts of the bible and putting them into order. It was great to hear them unlocking prior knowledge in order to create the timeline. They then worked in groups to represent 'The Kingdom of God' using drawing and craft.
