Mixing it all up!

17th March 2026N Sikka

In  year one it is our final week of using the text ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ in English, and what better way to end the theme than to make porridge just like the three bears did. Before we could make porridge we had to discuss the steps of making it and write a list of instructions. Once we had formed our instructions we began to make it.  The children in turn had the opportunity to add ingredients, mix it, heat it up and then finally had the chance to eat it.  The children used some incredible vocabulary to describe the taste and texture of the porridge.  It was safe to say that some children didn’t enjoy the experience and some loved it and asked for second helpings.

Football Frenzy!

11th March 2026R Cave

This week our Year Six Boys Football Team played in the next stage of The Gidney League. They gave an amazing performance, but unfortunately lost, a very close game, to Saint Bedes 1-0. However, they went on to beat Saint Josephs, 7-1,  in a brilliant match-showing determination and resilience throughout. They were a credit to our school; displaying positive attitudes and true sportsmanship… Well done boys!

Call and response in Music

10th March 2026L Chisholm

This year year 2 are looking at songs with a call and response structure.  This involves using listening skills to hear when it’s our turn to sing and responding to what we have heard.  Our favourite call and response song at the minute is ‘Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?’ As you can probably see we are very animated in our calling and responding!

Masters of Money!

10th March 2026L Chisholm

This week we are looking at money and it’s value.  We played with the coins and worked out what coins we needed to make differing amounts.  We found that different coins can be combined to make amounts and that it is all about addition, which we love!

How does your garden grow?

5th March 2026N Sikka

In Science today the children looked at the process of how plants and flowers grow.  The children were able to discuss the different elements that a seed needs to help it flourish and develop.  The children then all had a go at planting some cress seeds using the process discussed  and watch the cress grow over time and then they can eventually use the cress that they have grown to make egg and cress sandwiches.

Coding Champions

4th March 2026L Chisholm

In our Learning Means The World theme Land Ahoy we have been looking at how coding helps the ships navigate using algorithms and programs.  We looked at block based programming and understood the concept of loops to make things move.  We worked together to programe our angry birds movements so that it could capture the naughty pig.  We were really good and understood how each block meant a different movement.
