We have had an amazing time celebrating the Coronation. We made nature crowns and decorated tiles.
To celebrate the King’s Coronation we made celebration tiles as a keepsake to mark the occasion. Aren’t our designs beautiful?
What an amazing week we have had celebrating the Coronation. We made ‘natural crowns’, decorated tiles, created loose part crowns, red white and blue patterns, built palaces and so much more! Today we had a party outside and it was sunny!
This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚
This week in our Learning Means The World Theme, Year 3 have been designing and creating their own Greek Coil Pots. This activity required lots of patience as we found it tricky to mould the clay into coils in order to construct our coil pot.
Year 1 loved our theme of ‘Out Of This World’ on world book day. They came dressed as all manner of intergalactic oddities. We based our activities around the book, ‘There’s an alien in your book’ by Tom Fletcher. We firstly created our own alien using playdough and thought of its name, which planet it came from and what it likes to eat (I’m a little scared by how many aliens are out there who want to eat Teachers!). We then built a rocket to take our aliens back to their home planet (phew). In the afternoon we enjoyed learning about electricity and gas reactions with a Scientist. We found out that our bodies conduct electricity and if we hold hands we become a circuit. We also found out that trapped gas eventually has to be released and we used this knowledge to blast off some rockets. We have had a great day and can’t wait until next year!
Reception had a fantastic World Book Day!
Everyone made so much effort and some amazing imagination went into some of the costumes. We decorated alien biscuits, made alien headbands, face masks and designed alien underpants! We drew using a Youtube tutorial and also tried to dance like an alien. In our STEM session we looked at how our bodies create electricity and created rockets using effervescent vitamin tablets. A truly fabulous day for us all.
This term we are looking at the religion of Judaism in our R.E. sessions. The children have looked at a Synagogue and the important artefacts it holds. We also looked at some of their celebrations and how they differ to the ones we know. We created our own star of David and a Menorah and were very respectful recognising and understanding differences.

This week in school we have been talking about children’s mental health. We discussed how it is just as important to have a healthy mind as it is to have a healthy body. We also thought about who we should talk to if we are worried, scared, cross or upset and how it is okay to have these feelings but so important to talk to someone about it. We discussed ways to help us keep calm, relaxed and happy. We used these strategies in class:
We gave each other compliments!
