We have continued our overall theme of ‘analysis’ this week. We have looked at the idea of the role of an archaeologist and how they analyse in fine detail all of the evidence they find about people, to make conclusions about them and the way they lived.

We looked at a modern archaeological…

Time really does fly when everyone’s having fun.

It’s been a footballing bonanza this week in Pool House, with all bar one game played being football.

In the upper juniors there was a lot of excellent team play, respect and sportsmanship on show. It was nice to see when a player got hit in…

I think the first thing to say this week is a big well done to all of Moonbeam class and their parents for the wonderful hamper donations. I'm pleased to say we came 3rd and the children are super excited for their film afternoon. (It certainly was a sweet explosion)

In English this week the…

Analysis involves comparing, organising, deconstructing, interrogating, finding, seeing patterns, contrasts, cause and…

A busy, but fun week this week, where we have begun our new project with gusto! The groups are focussing this half term on analysis, looking at fine details and exploring our understanding. This week, we looked at poetry. The children had to look at the lines of poetry they had been given and try…

Just a short one.

Only a three-day week this week, but we certainly hit the ground running.

The upper juniors enjoyed two games of football and a game of skittles. It was fantastic to see the level of maturity on show because of the slippy, wet and very puddled playground. The upper…

This week we have continued exploring our wartime poetry in time for Armistice Day and Remembrance Day.  We improved our reading skills by breaking down some war poetry that we read and answering challenging questions about it. We also practiced multiplying multi digit numbers. In RE we wrote a…
