Wait.... what? The weeks gone already?

It's been a bit hit and miss this week for sports in both juniors and infants.

In the juniors football and tag rugby took centre stage this week. With year 6 doing SATS practice I think the fresh air and running around was just what they needed. With…

This week in English we have continued our topic about Greek Myths. Earlier in the week we planned a diary entry from the perspective of Daedalus (from the myth of Daedalus and Icarus) and we wrote this up for our Big Write. We also read the myth of Arachne the Spinner and compared and contrasted…

I cannot believe how quick the weeks are going. We have already had 2 weeks in our last term of the school year. In PE we have started some work on aspects of athletics. This week we have focused upon running. We have looked at how to run better and to put this into practice. In maths with Miss…

This week in Sunshine class we have been learning all about England.

The majority of our week has been spent revising for our SATS exams that start on the 8th May. We have sat mock English, Maths and SPAG exams this week, with the aim of improving our exam taking skills. These exams have been really helpful because they have given us a really good idea of what to…

It has been another busy week in school, especially for the children in year six. They have all been working really hard all week with their SATs preparations and a particularly big: “well done”, goes to Sky and Zana, who have done lots of comprehension and SPAG work with me this week.

Well that was a quick two week holiday...

As this first week back was a short one, we had a nice relaxed atmosphere around the two yards.

Juniors spent the week playing Tag Rugby and American Football this week, however, wanted to keep things free and easy so the scores didn't really matter…

First week back

The end of our first week back after Easter sees the sun coming out so hopefully we will have a good weekend. We have been working hard this week on division in mathematics. Some of us found this very hard to do. The week seems to have gone by very fast. The children took home a…

We've just got back from our PE lesson where we have been polishing up on our athletic skills. We're VERY tired now!

It has only been 4 days but it feels like we have been back for ages! We now have Mr Blackburn teaching us all the time again (boo!) In English we started our new Topic about Greek Myths. They had complicated names in those times! Icarus, Daedalus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, Pandora and more! On…
