It was fantastic to welcome so many of our EYFS & KS1 parents who came along to our lesson visits on Tuesday. The children were excited to share their learning, using their maths knowledge and skills including number bonds, fractions and comparing numbers. 🎉✨

More amazing World Book Day costumes from our pupils! 📚✨ It was great to see so many creative characters and a shared love of reading across the school — and a special appearance from our therapy dog, Coco! 🐾📖

📚 World Book Day at Princess May! Pupils enjoyed a free pop-up bookshop thanks to the @lonbookproject, where every child chose a book to take home. They also took part in Reading Buddies sessions with other year groups. Look at these fantastic World Book Day outfits! ✨

In DT, Year 3 developed key construction skills by measuring, cutting, folding and joining card to design and build freestanding abstract 3D sculptures. Pupils tested ideas, solved problems and refined their structures as they worked.

Y5 spent DT this week building truss bridges out of spaghetti and masking tape, testing their designs to see which could hold the most weight 🏗️🍝

Y2 3D Art 🎨 They explored shaping clay by hand and practised some basic skills to help make a simple model. Lots of pressing, rolling and shaping, with some lovely creative ideas on show!

Our Year 5 pupils had a fantastic time at the National Gallery Museum. With sketch paper in hand ✏️, they moved around the galleries, sketching their favourite artworks and taking in all the inspiration the museum had to offer🖼️

Our Year 4 pupils had a fantastic visit to Tate Modern today! They explored the galleries, enjoyed creative activities, and soaked up incredible art. Huge thanks to the Tate team for an inspiring trip!

Investigation Time!🧑‍🔬 This week we were investigating materials with torches to spy for reflections! Then we got to labelling them shiny or dull!

“What’s inside a conker?” That’s what one of our learners asked this week and we had such a fun afternoon predicting, trialling, sawing, hammering and talking about it today! @PrimaryMay
