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. Armed with litter pickers and plenty of enthusiasm, the children worked together to collect rubbish and make a positive difference to their environment. This activity helped pupils understand the importance of looking after shared spaces and taking responsibility for their surroundings. 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

It has been wonderful to see classrooms buzzing with positive energy and a real eagerness to get stuck into new challenges. As always, learning and progress remain key priorities for us this term. Teachers have planned engaging lessons

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

Children in Year 4 were horrified to discover that the book corners in their classrooms had been wrecked. Pages had been torn from books, leaving the scene in complete disarray. Luckily, CCTV footage captured the culprit: a mysterious figure wearing a hooded cloak, with their face hidden from view. The children used a wide range of adjectives, expanded noun phrases and modifiers to describe the appearance and personality of possible suspects, creating vivid and imaginative de

Year 4 have begun an exciting new art topic based on tie-dye and quilt making. We started by learning about the colour wheel, exploring primary, secondary and tertiary colours and how they are created. The children were also introduced to complementary colours and discussed how different colour combinations can be used to create striking designs. This topic links closely with Science, as we learned about Isaac Newton and his discovery of the colour spectrum, helping the child

Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed delving into the mysterious story of Daniel Holmes, Mr Silver and the incredible “Nowhere Emporium”. Here is what we have achieved so far. We have written some fantastic setting descriptions based on the opening night of the emporium-we have included sensory imagery and figurative language to book and engage our readers. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve next. Maybe we have some future authors in our midst? Watch this space!

Please visit our Clubs page to discover the exciting range of clubs available this term, and take a look at what the children enjoyed getting up to last term.

Exciting things are afoot in Year 6 again this week as we start the new year in style. The shop from nowhere arrived with the dawn on a crisp, snowy January morning. Word travelled quickly around Tipton Green and by 9 o’clock the place was abuzz with rumours and hearsay. There was a glimmer of movement and a ripple of excitement passed through the crowds. Curling letters spelled out The Nowhere Emporium bring your imagination! We have thoroughly enjoyed the start of our Eng
