I was transported to France while listening to our year 5's weather report! Great pronunciation George!🇫🇷 #HSTMSHINE

Y2Ba have been learning about Beatrix Potter as part of our Art curruculum this half term. Today we created some wonderful factfiles and found more information and facts about the life of Beatrix Potter. These are not the finished products but what a wonderful start!

3W enjoyed using their painting skills to add tone and texture with watercolours. We also looked at the primary colours and mixed them to make secondary colours! 🎨⭐️🫟🍃👏🏻

What a lovely tasting afternoon we have had in Y2Ba today as part of our Science and PSHE curriculum! Well done to every single one of them as they tried lots of different healthy foods discussing which were their favourites and why. Y2Ba have made some very healthy choices today

This afternoon in RE Y2Ba looked at the symbolic cross. We looked at a variety of crosses and how different they can look. We then designed our own and explained why we made it this way!

This week in Reception, we are focusing on frogs and their life cycle. Dec the frog has come to visit us and we are very curious about him! 🐸

As part of our Year 3 PSHE topic about how to keep safe, the children enjoyed listening to advice and stories from our local firefighters. 🚒 🔥🧑🏼‍🚒

As part of British Science Week and our current topic Plants, Y3M have been answering our curiosity question, how do bees help flowers? 🌷🌻🐝

As part of National Science Week, Year 6 have been learning about the connections between different elements of the ecosystem!

Wow! We are delighted with our support from home for British Science Week. The children in Reception have worked hard to create a poster ‘What makes children’s lives good?’ Thank you parents and carers. #BSW26 British Science Association

Reception have been very curious this week, answering the question ‘Which pegs are the best at keeping washing on the line?’ Our little scientists counted how many logs and rocks could fit in the socks before the peg fell off. @britishscienceassociation #BSW26

Y5Ch enjoyed their Science Week activity in which they designed and presented their own lunar rovers! #HSTMSHINE

Y5Co have been designing their own Moon Rover for British Science week. We have some future engineers here! #HSTMSHINE

World Book Day Celebrations in Year 6!

Y2Ba had a fantastic time making birds nests using a variety of materials this afternoon. This linked to British Science Week and our question was How do birds make their nests? They thoroughly enjoyed this and made some fantastic nests which survived the wind!! Well done Y2Ba!

Y3M had a wonderful time this afternoon creating flowers using long and short brush strokes in the style of Van Gogh!

Y5Ch loved reading books they chose in the library for Y1D to enjoy as part of the World Book Day celebrations. Well done everyone! #HSTMSHINE

Thank you for all of the effort you put into your costumes for World Book Day! You all looked amazing #HSTMSHINE🤩

Y3M loved reading the book Pezzettino by Leo Lionni. They created their own creatures and then wrote fractions about the colours they had used. 📚✏️🎨🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪
