We have had a wonderful week in Year 3. Our Class assembly was a great success and we are so pleased that so many parents came to watch; all of our faces wore huge smiles for the rest of the day!
We have been enjoying writing letters from the perspective of Ogg who is sick and tired of eating weeds and seeds and has decided that meat is what a caveman needs so conjures up a genius plan to catch a mammoth for a pie. It is a funny and engaging story that has got us really thinking about the Stone Age. Please remember that on Thursday 18th December, it is our fantastic finish and our classrooms will be open from 3:00pm for you to come in and see all of your child's learning about the Stone Age from this half term. Please come a little earlier than usual to see your child's learning and to give them a big pat on the back for their acheivements.
Thank you!

Year 3 have worked so incredibly hard during assessment week and have been doing their Maths and Reading assessments. Make sure that you give your child a huge well done and pat on the back to congratulate them for their hard work and effort- we are so proud and impressed of the progress that they have all made.
We are continuing our learning on Light and the Stone Age and Year 3 have engaged so well with these topics. We have loved to see the home learning that has come in and we would love to carry on seeing how you are carrying on their learning at home.
It will be our Year 3 assembly on Wednesday 10th December 2025 at 9:05, please come and see your child's contributions. We are so excited to present to you!

We have had an amzing week of learning and we are so impressed by the writing this week. The children have written retells of the story of 'Stone Age Boy' and they blew us away with all of their learning. Well done! We have also had a fantastic week in PE, where Class 8 have really progressed their swimming and Class 7 have been learning more parts of our Stone Age dance... we are excited to show this to you in our Year Group Assembly.

We have had an amazing week in Year 3 by kickstarting our new History topic, 'The Stone Age'. We have been reading 'Stone Age Boy' and the children have loved learning about this enthralling and entertaining story. Make sure to ask your child what they have learnt about Stone Age life from this story, including what Stone Age people wore, ate and did to survive.
We also had our 'WOW Starter' afternoons where we learnt about Stone Age animals, made cave paintings, explored rocks and stones and even carved some Stone Age tools out of soap. We had an amazing and fun afternoon and we are all ready excited to start learning more about Stone Age life.
Please check the home learning for the 'Topic' homework to be done over the course of the whole half term. We would love to see what you create at home and to show it off in school.

This week Class 7 have had an introduction to the Ancient Maya. We had a WOW starter where we tasted different types of chocolate and chocolate products, made Mayan headdresses and wrote our names using the Mayan writing system. We are very excited about what we will learn.

This week we have written the story of Charlie Stinky Socks and the Hunt for the Mummy's Gold. We wrote a whole book with some new clues of our own. This was our best big write and we loved being the authors and illustrators of our own book. Everyone's book is on display in class and we are so proud of them.

This week in Class 7 have been looking at pollination and the life cycle of a plant. Science is all around us, and one of the most exciting ways to connect with it is by having the hands on experiences of the parts of a plant and flower.
This activity is an ideal way to bring science to life where children can see all the parts of a flower and what each part plays in the life cycle.
The children had to dissect a flower and label a drawing at the same time when they found that part. They saw the pollen and opened the ovule to see the seeds. The children were amazed and were amazing too!

This week in Class 7 we celebrated British Science Week, it's the perfect time to explore the wonders of nature right in our own classrooms and gardens! Science is all around us, and one of the most exciting ways to connect with it is by planting and growing our own food. This year, we’re focusing on a hands-on activity that’s perfect for students of all ages: deseeding and planting tomato seeds!
Tomatoes are not only delicious and healthy, but they are also a fantastic way to engage with biology, sustainability, and the science behind plant growth. Growing tomatoes from seed is a great learning experience that connects students to the natural world and shows how tiny seeds can transform into the food we enjoy every day.
This activity is an ideal way to bring science to life during British Science Week. Not only does it promote environmental awareness, but it also provides a fantastic opportunity for students to learn about plant biology, photosynthesis, and the lifecycle of a plant—all while fostering a sense of achievement as they watch their plants grow!
We had the best afternoon ever!

Class 7 have had a great start to the half term. Last week we had our WOW starter for the Noble Nile topic. We enjoyed do collages of Egypt showing the Nile, the pyramids and temples, we made a shadoof and made posters all about the River Nile.
This week we had some visitors to help us with our RE topic about Jesus. We have been learning about the discisples and the visitors taught us about Luke's story. We were all interested in learning more about this.

Class 7 enjoyed their science learning this week where they became paleontologists or fossil hunters. They recreated the many layers of sand and mud that forms sedimentary rock then went on a dig to find the fossils. They drew fossil drawings and explained the process of how a fossil is formed. Well done Class 7!

This week Year 4 parents were invited in to do a DT activity with us. We were making an opening sarcophagus using pneumatics. It was so fantastic to have so many parents turn up. The children and teachers loved having them in with us.

Class 7 have had a lovely start back to school. They have been writing and performing poetry in English, recapping place value in maths and took part in a Wow Starter for their topic on Ancient Egypt. Children researched the era, painted fellucas on the Nile, mummified dolls, made a headress, were archaeologists and wrote their names in hieroglyphics. Despite it being the first week back and a whole week of indoor play times due to the freezing weather, the children said they wanted to stay in school all night to continue to wow afternoon.

Class 7 have continued to work hard all the way up to finishing for the holiday. They have loved learning about Light and shadows and how these change size depending on how near or far yo are from the solid object. They also worked together as a class to discuss and sort statements about relationships online, family and friends. They all were clear on not sharing any personal information with someone you don't know online. A fantastic term Class 7! Well done!

Class 7 have had a great week learning about division in maths. They started by using concrete materials to solve calculations and built up their understanding over the week to then solve word problems by the end. They carried out experiments in science to find the best and worst reflective materials. In PE they had to work as a team and communicate well with each other to achieve the task. They did brilliantly!

Class 7 were looking at fact and opinion in their PSHE lesson this week. We talked about if it was a fact you could research and find it. However, if it's opinion then it is each persons opinion and these can be varied because we are all different. We started with mind mapping peoples opinion about the best thing at playtime. Then, the children were given the statement 'Pizza is the best food to eat'. The children had thinking time to decide in their opinion did they agree or disagree. They made points to debate on their iPads. Before we started we shared rules about respecting others opinion. Then we held our debate. About a third of the class agreed and two thirds disagreed and they all shared why. We had a respectful but heated debate.

Class 7 have been learning all about forces in science and this week we investigated the force 'friction'. The children had different surfaces to test the toy car on to see which surface produced the most friction. The class decided on a question - Which surface will create the most and least friction? They made some clever predictions, carried out fair tests by only changing the surface and found out that carpet had the most friction and silk had the least friction. They were all super scientists.

Class 7 made bridges in DT last week.On Friday a child brought a car from home to test them out. Another child brought their bridge over too and they connected them and tested their strength. They were so excited to see that their bridges were in indeed strong enough for a car to pass over.

Class 7 have been very busy working hard all week creating a bridge for English and DT. The class researced bridges first and then worked on skills for making paper strong to build a bridge. The children worked in Teams in our Makers Space using all their skills and teamwork to be successful. We are so proud of how hard Class 7 are working. Well done!
