Stop, look and listen!

3rd February 2026N Sikka

1 Red in LMTW world were looking at how to be safe in our community especially when out and about near the roads.  We talked about the do’s and don’t of road safety and worked together to work out the correct way to cross roads.  We watched road safety videos and copied the stop, look and listen signs.  The children offered ideas and suggestions of who and what could help us safely cross the roads, for example adults, lollipop persons, zebra crossings and pelican crossings. We finished the session by setting up a road in our classroom, we looked for instruction from the stop and go sign to help us cross the road safely

Project engineers are amazing in year 2!

30th January 2026L Chisholm

As part of our science lessons in ‘Land Ahoy’ we watched a life boat and how it is transported from the garage to the sea.  We decided to design and construct our own boat transporter.  We worked in teams to design what we would build, made a list of what we would need to complete the task then we worked together to build our transporter.  We worked well together discussing our ideas and trialing them then improving them until we were happy with our finished design.  We then let our class mates see our design and showed them how it worked.  It was amazing and we really showed off our engineering skills!

In 1 Red in LMTW ‘Unity in the Community ‘ we were looking at ‘Bird’s Eye’ views. We looked at various landmarks across the world from this angle and then the children discussed in depth what they could see. We then focused on our local environment and took a look at a birds eye view of our school. There was a lot of discussion and varying opinions about what the children could see. We then took it in turn to label parts of our school as if we were looking down on it.

Dancing Explorers!

30th January 2026L Chisholm

In P.E this half term we are exploring dance.  We loved learning about Paddington from Peru and the rainforest he lived in so we decided that our dance theme was going to be about an explorer in the jungle.  We started at home, travelled to the rainforest, set up camp, explored the jungle, made a camp then found a mysterious object.  We used our bodies to show the movement and our faces to show the differing expressions.  We had great fun moving our bodies in different directions and on different levels.

Volcanic eruptions!

26th January 2026lhockings

This week in 5 red we have been learning all about volcanoes as part of our Learning Means the World theme “In Your Element”. We have enjoyed learning about tectonic plates, tsunamis and volcanoes, and the destruction that natural disasters can bring. Our project this week was to make our own volcanoes; then using bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, we created our very own volcanic eruptions! 

2 Red’s Problem Solvers

26th January 2026lgeorgiou

A group of children in 2 Red stretched and challenged their mathematical brains this week while working out multi-step problems. They worked brilliantly on their new Problem Solving Mats to show what they know, model it and then work it out. Their resilience and effort was fantastic when learning this new way of working.

 

It’s all erupting in 5 Blue!

26th January 2026C Machin


What a week we’ve had in 5 Blue . As part of our Learning Means The World theme, ‘In your Element’  we have been learning all about tectonic plates, earthquakes and most excitingly volcanos. We have learnt how the earths surface is made up and how the movement of tectonic plates can cause the planet to react in different ways. 
we have created a our very own volcanos and with the help of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda created our own eruptions. As you can see from our pictures we have had a lot of fun.
