Reception - Maths Workshop

Thank You to all the parents that attended the Maths Workshop. We enjoyed showing you how we learn Maths and solve our subtraction problems.

Year 6 have got the whole world in their hands

To introduce our new topic on Earthquakes and Volcanoes we have been learning about the structure of the Earth. Using different colours of play dough we were able to create 3D models. We sliced our 'Earths' in half and identified the layers: the core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust. The crust is the part that we live on and is split into plates. These plates are known as 'tectonic plates'. We used cocktail sticks to label the different layers to help us remember the new vocabulary.

Golden Book Winners

Every week, teachers identify 2 outstanding pupils in their class who have had a fantastic week either academically or socially or both! These pupils are entered into the Golden Book and are announced during our Friday morning celebration assembly. Our fabulous winners in the infants receive a

JTA Interview

On Friday 15th February, our six JTAs joined their counterparts at Hylands Primary School to interview Julia Bradbury by video conference in relation to the upcoming edition of the Taking Steps magazine focusing on walking.

Look out for the new magazine when it comes out sometime in April.
