The half-term break gave us a chance to recharge our batteries, and Form 1 have come back ready for action! This week, we travelled back 418 years to learn about The Gunpowder Plot. It was on the 5th November 1605 that Guy Fawkes was caught below the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder, his aim...

It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of the first half-term. Form 1 are now into the swing of their new routines and are amazing us daily with the improvements they are making in their work. This week we would like to put the spotlight on their topic homework. Each weekend they...

We discussed how using hands and feet aren’t reliable as we have different sized handspans and feet. In English, we have been studying the poem Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Did...

In maths this week we have been learning about place value. To do this we created two-digit numbers using a dice and then partitioned them into tens and units. In English, we have continued to explore poetry and can now spot rhymes or patterns. We have great fun writing about a day at a farm.

Each dad was awarded a trophy from their child for all the marvellous things that they do. In...

This week has been a very exciting week in Form 1. Before the half term we were learning about endangered animals. We looked into ways in which we can help. After a vote, the children decided to adopt a sea turtle. They spent the weekend doing jobs around the house to raise money. We’ve been...

The highlight of this week was our trip to Blackpool Zoo. During the year we study Dinosaurs in History, animals in Science and The Rainforest in Geography so it seemed fitting to take a trip where we can discover more about these topics. The day started with an educational session with our guide Joe. He...
