Thank you so much to Marie from @northernassist for our rail safety session yesterday! The session was really important. Year 3 & 4 created posters that covered all the new things we learnt! 🚆

Year 3 had a wonderful time at forest school this afternoon!

Yesterday, Year 4 took part in the Reading for Pleasure live event with @alexwhartonpoet. They loved the inspiring session and had great fun creating quick drawings inspired by the poems they heard.

It is #RoadSafetyWeek - this week we have been looking at how we can be safe on the roads especially with the cold weather and dark nights❄️ #bebrightbeseen #stoplooklisten

This half term, Year 4 are exploring Borneo and its natural resources, gaining a deeper understanding of different parts of the world and how people live. We've been focusing on human geography and examining the impact of our actions on the planet.

Today, Year 4 had a fantastic time raising money for #ChildrenInNeed by coming to school dressed in spots, stripes, or Pudsey-themed outfits! We also explored books from our reading corner, discussing themes related to Children in Need and deepening our understanding of others.

Year Two went for a village walk to find physical and human features in our local area. Here we are on the ancient packhorse bridge.

Year 4 are looking at addition and subtraction this term. We have been using place value counters to support exchanging with 4-digit numbers.

Year 2 have enjoyed their dance lessons over the past few weeks and have learnt some amazing new moves!

After our visit to the church, Year 4 used the names engraved on the church’s war memorial to create their own crosses. They attached handmade poppies to each cross, honoring those remembered. These crosses can now be seen in our Trinity Garden at OFS. #RememberanceDay2024
