We’re back in business in Gold class – refreshed after an extra-long half term break! This week we began our new unit in English – poetry. In particular, poetry from World War 1 and World War 2. We started the unit by creating a ‘self-help’ poster that detailed the key poetic features included in…

This week has been very short and quick, but also lots of fun.

We have enjoyed continuing with our story Room on the Broom; acting out our own versions of the story and even making our own spells up. The apple group made a superb spell up to make the night sky full of bright twinkly stars. We…

Half term already! What a magical time we have had so far. The children have all worked amazingly hard this half term and have settled well in to year 1.

This week we have enjoyed a shape hunt, being in our outside classroom and finishing our car models. The children have also worked hard on…

What a fabulous final week of this term. It all went 'ziggety zaggety zoom' on Monday when we heard the story of the Room on the Broom. We have loved this story and have enjoyed making our own versions up in our key groups.

When we visited the library we enjoyed hearing more stories with…

This week’s blog has to be all about the Inter-Ingol quiz for 2018 (which was supposed to be in the summer term, just gone!) Six of our children walked down to Holy Family - who kindly hosted the event this time - together with Mrs Soole and myself. The team, made up of two children from Rainbow…

This week in year 6 we have continued our learning about Pompeii. This week, our task was to create a newspaper article that details the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and destruction of Pompeii. In the build up to typing out our own report we covered a few useful topics:

• How to use eye witness…

What a week. We certainly haven’t slowed down this week in Moonbeam Class.

We have focused on lots of different things this week and the children have worked amazingly hard. After parents evening on Tuesday the children had a phonics activity morning on Wednesday to celebrate how hard they…

In English we are reading a book called Friend or foe, this story is about two boys who are evacuated from London to Devon in the World War 2. We wrote our own version of chapter 7, we all did a very good job.

In Maths we are doing time, we also looked at train times and television times. We…

This week we have been learning EVEN MORE about The Great Fire of London because not only is this our history topic but we have also been looking at diary entries from Samuel Pepys. 

"The fire started on Sunday 2nd September 1666." - Ellie

"A diary has to start with the date." - Jack

"The…

Sunshine class really have worked their socks off this week. We have spent the majority of the week in our key groups focussing on really specific areas. We have enjoyed the new indoor and outdoor classroom layout which has been set up with challenges to develop our speech and communication…

Reading tests in year two and one are complete now and once again, the children have worked incredibly hard. It was particularly lovely to hear such beautiful, ‘pure’ phonemes as the children sounded out the words they were looking for, it was really great to see and hear.

For the challenge…
