Year 3 - English - Generating Vocabulary About Walls
Our Year 3 poets scaled the heights of creativity today! During our English session, we dove deep into vocabulary building, using the humble wall as our inspiration. Rather than just seeing bricks and mortar, our young writers explored the textures, secrets, and stories hidden within different types of walls.
NSPCC Number Day - Our Nifty Number Outfits!
Count Us In for NSPCC Number Day! Our school was looking a little different today as we swapped our usual uniforms for a sea of digits and mathematical patterns! From our youngest learners in Preschool to our eldest in Year 6, everyone joined in the fun to celebrate the NSPCC’s Number Day. It was wonderful to see the creativity on display, with both children and staff wearing their favourite numbers to help raise vital funds for the NSPCC’s "Speak Out, Stay Safe" programme. Whether it was a football jersey, a hand-decorated t-shirt, or even a giant birthday number 7, the whole school community came together to prove that there really is safety in numbers. A huge thank you to all our families for your brilliant efforts with the outfits and for your kind donations. It’s a fantastic day of problem-solving and numbers, all for a very important cause.

KS2 TTRS Battle of the Bands!
Here we go ???? We’ve kicked off a KS2 Times Tables Rock Stars Battle of the Bands today, with classes going head to head to see who can rack up the most points. The battle runs from today until 13th February. During that time, children can contribute to their class score for up to one hour a day on Times Tables Rock Stars. Every correct answer counts, so regular practice really will make a difference. This is all about building confidence, speed and accuracy with times tables, while having a bit of fun and healthy competition along the way. We’ll be cheering on effort as much as scores. Let the battle begin ????

This week, our Year 3 tech experts turned into "Data Detectives" as we explored branching databases. We learned how computers use simple Yes/No questions to sort information and solve mysteries. To master this skill, the children used images of different fruits to create their own digital sorting trees. They had to think carefully about the physical features of each fruit to help someone else "discover" a secret item.
