Firework mark-making!

By Jodie Buss4th November 2025

As part of this morning activities we encouraged some independent mark making using a range of different materials to get those fingers moving! The children loved making this a sensory experience exploring the glitter and glue, even creating their own glittery gloopy firework sparkly mess! This activity allowed for some independent fine motor control and hand to eye coordination, whilst also encouraging some creative and emotional expression! The children loved spending a significant amount of time on this activity showing intense concentration and motivation! As you can see from the photos the children enjoyed this activity and stayed engaged for the full session!

Year 6 Wow day

By Mr J SUTTON24th October 2025

For our year 6 end of English unit, the children dressed up (after writing a letter of persuasion to Mrs Marson) and took part in some fun activities relating to the Day of the Dead. They especially enjoyed making Pan de Meurtos, I hope they taste as good as the look! Everyone looked great!

Bear Paw Biscuit Fun

By Leonnie Carrick19th October 2025

This week, the children in F2 had a wonderful time bringing our story Goldilocks and the Three Bears to life through a fun and tasty activity!

We all got hands-on, carefully decorating our own bear paw biscuits. The ingredients we used were icing, chocolate chips and chocolate buttons to make our creations look just right! The classroom was full of smiles, creativity, and a little bit of mess (just how we like it!).

Of course, the best part was tasting our delicious bear paw biscuits at the end. What a yummy way to link our current story.

Kites in F1

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD17th October 2025

In our current story ‘Titch’ the big brother and sister both have a kite.

We thought we’d have a go at making our own kites.  The children had to decorate their cut out shape, then cut a piece of ribbon for the tail, stick it in the right place then add a string to hold on to too.

Then they were ready to go!

Roo told me that we needed to wind to make our kites fly!  Well done Roo!

Then later on, instead of doing our Write Dance exercises, we changed it to Kite Dance!  Who would have thought that flying kites could help us develop our handwriting in the future!

Goldilocks and the three bears in f2

By Mrs E WILKINSON8th October 2025

What a fantastic start to our new book this week. The children have been really engaged in the new topic and exploring the different areas in the classroom. They have been learning and retelling the story, roleplaying the characters and creating art with a Goldilocks theme. It’s been great to see how much everyone has enjoyed the new book and really immersed themselves in the topic.

F2 Owl Babies

By Mrs E WILKINSON3rd October 2025

The children have loved exploring the story of Owl Babies. We have learnt the story and actions to help us with this. We sequenced the story and talked about the beginning, middle and end. We have been exploring Owl activities and pretending to be owls. We made feather crowns to help us to pretend to be owls and used leaves to make an owl collage.

We finished the exploration of the story by changing the story. Miss Carrick’s class changed the owls to foxes and Mrs Wilkinson’s class changed the owls to hedgehogs.

 

Shopping lists

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD3rd October 2025

After eating all of Mrs Silverwood’s ingredients for porridge on Wednesday she didn’t have any left to make her porridge for breakfast on Thursday!  So some of our superstars wrote out shopping lists so she knew what she needed to buy.  Well done to Myla and Mia.  They were able to tell us what they had written on their lists!

F1’s map making

By Mrs C SILVERWOOD1st October 2025

Today some of our children worked together to draw out maps of everything that they thought Goldilocks might see on her walk through the wood.  They came up with all sorts of ideas; trees, flowers, grass, the three bears, some birds and… a dragon!

Year 6 Dia de Los Meurtos

By Mr J SUTTON23rd September 2025

The children in Year 6 have been delving and looking into the festival Dia de Los Meurtos (The Day of the Dead).  They have been watching the animation linked to the festival and have been researching this vibrant colourful celebration with their aim to write a persuasive letter to Mrs Marson to enable them to dress up and join in the festivities!

The children are really looking forward to be able to dress up, get their faces painted and learn more about this amazing topic!
