Today we began our Geography lesson by recapping the four countries in the United Kingdom and their capital cities. We again looked at a UK map and located each country. We then began to identify features of three different locations, Blackpool, Grange Park and London. We looked at a number of photos from each of these places and discussed the similarities and differences. The children understood that Blackpool is on the coast and near to the beach. They were also able to identify that London is a city with tall buildings, a long river and old buildings such as Big Ben.

This week we enjoyed our first Forest School session on a lovely sunny day! In the Forest School area lots of fruits are growing on the trees and during our session this week we learnt about which are safe to eat and which aren't. We also held lots of different minibeasts we found in the area, making sure to treat them with care and put them back where we had found them! We all enjoyed spending some time in the area and are already looking forward to our next session!

This week in Art, we have been recapping our understanding of the seven elements of art! We designed our own page of information to publish on our class walls, as seen in the pictures. We started to experiment with the different elements in our sketch books by changing the value of colours and experimenting with line and form. Through discussions in our class, we are now looking forward to the rest of our printing unit and gaining inspiration from Peter Blake, William Morris and Roy Lichtenstein to replicate techniques and create our own original pieces.

To help the children settle in to Nursery, we read the story "Owl Babies". It is a story all about three owls called Sarah, Percy and Bill. One day they wake up and their owl mother has gone! Of course she comes back and has only been hunting! We used the story to resassure chidlren that their grown ups will always come back for them. The chidlren showed that they were good listeners as they were able to recall parts of the story and remembered the characters by the end of the week! We also practiced counting to 3 by putting 3 owls on a branch. There was also great excitment when we found three eggs in our Curiosity Cube! The exciment grew when the eggs started to crack and we found three baby owls in the cube!

We have been learning about the personal lives of both Sculptors as well as identifying the different materials they used for their amazing work. We learnt that although Andy Goldsworthy uses natural materials for his sculptures in comparison to Dale Chihuly using glass, both have a passion to create their sculptures to fit in with the environment.

Date: 17th Sep 2021 @ 2:13pm
Assemblies are an important part of our school life. It is where we come together as a school community, to celebrate, to think, to share and to reflect on ourselves living in a global society. It is a special time to develop a wider respect across the whole school membership, to mark special occasions and to develop those important behaviours that are needed in society when large numbers are gathered together.
So on Thursday it was our singing assmebly, we practised singing our Harvest songs; Autumn Days, Cauliflowers Fluffy and Harvest Samba...we have included the videos here so that you can practise them at home too!

We have recently started our RE journey in Year 4. We have been looking at the way Christians live their lives. We discussed what the term moral means.

This half-term we are lucky enough to have our FA coach, Mr Williams, supporting our learning in PE. We will be learning some of the key skills of 'invasion games', which include football, netball and rugby. All of the skills and tactics are transferable to a variety of different sports and games.
This week we were looking at dribbling the football with both feet and passing the ball through a target. Children were challenged by the size of the target, by using both feet, and by using different parts of their feet to kick the ball. All the pupils enjoyed this session and were successful!

As part of Reception induction, this week they have enjoyed staying for lunch. The children were very sensible lining up and walking down to the hall. They used their manners when asking the lunch staff for their dinner and sat beautifully at the table. They have been trying hard to try new foods and cut up their food using their knife and fork. Well done Reception.

Year Two have been working really hard on understanding place value in numbers up to 100. We have been counting on and back within 100 and thinking about how many tens and how many ones make up different 2-digit numbers. We have been using a range of manipulatives, such as bead strings, place value counters, Base 10, Numicon and tens frames, to show different 2-digit numbers.
