Year 4 ​ Our lovely visitor from this morning’s assembly stayed on to spend time with Year 4, where the children took part in a thoughtful and engaging question-and-answer session. They asked insightful questions about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), learning about the influence he has and why he is so important to Muslims. The children listened carefully and showed great curiosity and respect as they deepened their understanding of Islam.

We were very lucky to welcome a special visitor into school who came to talk to the children about the upcoming Muslim celebrations of Ramadan and Eid. The visitor explained that Ramadan is a very important time for Muslims, when they fast, pray, show kindness to others and reflect on their actions. The children were able to see some religious items such a prayer mat, and the visitor explained how it is used during daily prayers and why prayer is important in Islam. They also

Children in Year 5 were asked to recreate the texture and impression of a wall on a polystyrene tile, which they then printed into their books. This activity links with the next lesson, where they will build on their work by adding a further piece of artwork inspired by the style of Banksy. The children used printing ink to create their prints, experimenting carefully with texture and pattern.

Year 3 children are doing their part to keep the school grounds clean! They were out on another litter-picking adventure, working together to ensure our school community remains tidy and inviting.

Spring 2026 - Issue 9 Dear Parents, Carers and Families, This week has been full of exciting learning opportunities across our school community. Our Year 4 pupils took part in a fantastic animation workshop, exploring these digital skills in a hands‑on and memorable way.

Year 4 have been exploring fabric dying techniques!

In the ECO Ambassadors’ first meeting of the academic year, they discussed new ways we can recycle more and reduce waste in school. One idea the children were particularly enthusiastic about was introducing a battery recycling bin — and they went ahead and ordered one themselves! Now, any used batteries we have in school will be placed in the battery bin provided. Batteries should not  go into general waste, as they are a fire hazard in bin lorries and at landfill sites.

Here is a video of our Year 3 children playing their recorders, showcasing the skills they have been learning in class.

Cooking Club made a healthy spaghetti bolognese this week. The children peeled mushrooms and finely chopped them, along with peppers, before adding them to chopped tomatoes. They learnt how to hold vegetables correctly and how to cut them safely. Quorn mince was added to the sauce, and the spaghetti was carefully boiled. The children really enjoyed the session, with one saying, “I thought it was a great session because I’ve never made one before,” and another commenting, “I w

Year 3 have been learning about right angles as part of their NCETM maths mastery journey. They began by exploring turns, before investigating what makes an angle a right angle.  They found out that there are 4 right angles in a full turn using their angle makers and angle checkers in small groups! They identified right angles within the classroom and have also applied their knowledge to show non-examples (an angle that is NOT a right angle) and have made these with their ang

Children in Year 3 have been taking great care of their school community by helping to keep our grounds clean and tidy.

They showed excellent teamwork and a real sense of pride in their school

Year 4 pupils  took part in an exciting and creative animation workshop led by Engagedu, where they explored both digital drawing and stop‑motion animation techniques. The workshop began with pupils using iPads and a stylus to design their own stick‑figure characters using the app Flipkit. They learned how to duplicate their drawings, erase selected parts of the image, and make small changes to each frame. By repeating this process, pupils created simple animations of their s

Year 4 enjoyed a great PE lesson focusing on cricket fielding skills, learning how to create strong long bridges. The children worked together to roll the ball accurately and ensure it was stopped before rolling past them, showing excellent teamwork and control throughout the session.

Years 3 & 4 science club had lots of fun making earthquake proof structures. Using jelly sweets and cocktail sticks, we tested each structure to ensure the it could withstand earthquake conditions. The children all did really well and even managed to not eat any of the sweets!!

Cooking Club made easy one-bowl fudgy cocoa brownies using butter, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, vanilla, flour and a pinch of salt, with groups adding chocolate chunks for extra richness. Pupils worked collaboratively to measure ingredients accurately, melt and mix safely, and follow the recipe in the correct order. They learned the importance of not overmixing and carefully monitoring baking times to achieve a fudgy centre and crisp, crinkly top. The brownies were ready in und

Year 5 have started their art topic for spring term looking at the graffiti artist Banksy. We studied a range of his artworks, sketched them then completed a critical analysis.

A great start to Cooking Club this spring term for Years 5 and 6! The children made healthy pizzas by spreading tomato purée onto wraps and adding a range of toppings, including mushrooms, peppers, sweetcorn, ham and pepperoni. They practised cutting vegetables carefully and safely, worked well together, and showed responsibility by helping with washing up and cleaning the tables afterwards. It was a slice of fun and a really topping start to the term! 🍕

In science, we carried out an exciting investigation to answer the question: Is yeast a living thing? To test this, we added warm water, one teaspoon of sugar, and a packet of yeast into a bottle, then carefully stretched a balloon over the top. We predicted what might happen and watched closely. Before long, we noticed the balloon beginning to inflate! We learned that the yeast used the sugar for energy and released a gas called carbon dioxide. This gas filled the balloon, c

Today, the children recapped their prior learning about human organs and revisited the journey of food through the digestive system. We reminded ourselves of key organs and new scientific vocabulary, thinking carefully about how food moves through the body and changes along the way. To bring the learning to life, the children took part in an energetic “Ready, Steady, Digest!” activity. They followed step-by-step instructions to demonstrate how a banana sandwich is digested, t
