Year 1/2 went on a shape hunt this afternoon. We have been refreshing our shape knowledge at the start of the new term and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the shapes we have learnt about around the school! 🔺🟪🟢🔶

Year 4, 5 opened the ‘Curiosity case’ today to inspire our new topic relating to culture. Our big question is ‘How great was the Great British Empire?’ We are very excited about our learning this term!

What a lovely last week at school. Santa visited yesterday & then we exchanged secret Santa gifts in Yr4, 5🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻

We shared WW2 experiences of our families. Soldiers who served in the Arctic, Burma, Japan, the Home Guard, some worked on farms or in munitions factories and stories of children sheltering under the kitchen table, under the stairs or shelters. THANK YOU from Yr4,5 💙

Yr4,5 & Yr5,6 shared their work on the Rugby World Cup as part of our ‘Competition’ concept. They were ambitious capable learners and enterprising creative contributors!! Oral feedback was given respectfully, as we all want to make progression ⭐️
