Don’t we all look brilliant in our costumes?! We have had a very busy and exciting day today. We have made potions, spells and magic wands. We also wrote our own spooky spells and enjoyed finding rhyming words in the yucky goblin snot rhyming pot! We listened well to the story of Room on the…

We have enjoyed showing off our costumes, sharing our books with friends, writing character descriptions and making bookmarks for our school books to celebrate World Book Day.

We have been practising our tricky troll words in lots of different ways. We spotted them in some books, played games, used flash cards and practised writing them without peeking! We are doing brilliantly! 

In Y5/6, we have been studying and writing formal persuasive letters.  Today, we imagined KS2 SATs were going to be abolished.  As a class, we discuss whether we thought that children should have to do SATs or not.  At the end of our discussion, we had a vote and the class decided that KS2…

We have come to the end of our topic on Romans. This week the children have been really busy using what they have learnt throughout the unit and further research to plan and produce a PowerPoint presentation about what the Romans have done for Britain, which they presented to the class. They all…

We would like to end our week with a lovely poem by Molly, Year 5. Earlier this week we set the Year 5's a challenge of writing a poem called 'Changes'. They were asked to use a video link to a poem with the same title, performed in a rap style, as inspiration.You can find the link below if you…

As we know that some of you really enjoyed writing our ‘Dear Human’ letter this term, we would like to recommend this set of online lessons. Each session is half an hour long with the end result being a thank you letter to the hardworking super heroes of our NHS.

Lesson 1 looks at vocabulary…

In Year 5, we have been looking at balanced arguments. To start this unit off, the children were given a point of view on a piece of paper and had to find their matching group. This lead to them deciding if they were for or against fireworks, the royal family or homework. Once they had sorted…

We could not believe what we were greeted with in the Key Stage One classrooms this morning!

The classrooms had been turned totally upside down. There were burnt books, footprints, scales and a huge mess! After inspecting what had been left in the destruction, we came to the conclusion that a…
