This week in Reception, we have been honing our counting skills by practising counting with dice. The children focused on recognising numbers quickly by observing the patterns of dots and identifying small amounts without the need for counting. A particular highlight of our week was playing Teddy Be
Fire lighting can be a tricky affair, add in the rain and the wind and the task can get really challenging. The Year 4 children watched as Miss Rowe battled the elements to get the campfire lit. A little bit of help, in the form of a well placed ball of cotton wool, meant that eventually the tinder

Over the last couple of weeks, the boys and girls have been working hard to understand the place value of 2 and 3 digit numbers. Firstly, they read and represented 2 digit numbers using base 10 and place value counters. Working in pairs, they then successfully read 3 digit numbers in words and num
This week, in Mathematics, Year Two have been partitioning two-digit numbers. They found out that partitioning means to split a number into smaller parts. First, the children used base ten apparatus to partition numbers into tens and ones using a part-whole model. They had to think carefully about w
We have enjoyed the sunshine in Nursery this week – so much so we decided to have a picnic! As part of our topic, Adventure Awaits!, we have looked at the season of Summer, sun safety and picnics as our focus. We decided to have a picnic in the Nursery garden during snack time on Wednesday.

This week in maths, the children have been exploring the lines of symmetry within shapes. They learned that if a mirror is placed on a line of symmetry, you will see a reflection that completes the original shape. If the mirror is not placed on a line of symmetry, the reflection will create a differ
Today in maths, the boys and girls in Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed learning about Roman numerals. Many of the children knew that Roman numerals are used on some clock faces and they also pointed out that they are used in the names of monarchs including King Charles III and Henry VIII. In the lesson,
Today, Year Two have been rocking out for the day to celebrate the launch of Times Tables Rock Stars. This is an app that helps children to learn their times tables in an engaging way. The children all came into school dressed as rock stars for the occasion and we were very impressed with their fant
