This week in Forest School the children did two more activities linked to our science learning this half term. In one activity, the children looked at different pictures of animals/plants and ordered them into a food chain reasoning which one would eat which and whether this made them a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore. In [...]
We have had a very busy couple of weeks in Year 2 and we have enjoyed every minute of it. We thought we'd share some of the fantastic things the children have been up to. In our art lessons we have been inspired by the artwork of L.S. Lowry sketching, painting and using pastels/charcoal to [...]
This half-term we have been studying L.S. Lowry’s artwork and then using his techniques as inspiration for our own busy city landscapes. For the final piece the children used watercolour paints, pastels and charcoal and we think they all did a fantastic job. Well done Year 2! :) [...]
This week in forest school we continued to explore our science learning further. The children had two activities: the first was an animal skeleton jigsaw where the children had to piece together parts of the puzzle before working out what animal it could belong too & the second activity was using our sketching skills [...]
It was great to see both of our football teams back out on the pitch recently, as they took part in the Rushcliffe Autumn Tournament. Both teams played really well and made us as proud as ever by taking care of each other and showing great sportsmanship. The tournament is [...]

This week we have read Pirate Pete and made up our own versions of the story. The children have walked the plank in Maths and ordered numbers, decorated parrots, made their own pirate hats and maps. They have also followed a map that Pirate Pablo left behind, to rescue Rainbow and Sunshine Bears who [...]
We were very impressed with how quickly the children settled into Reception. They had lots of fun making new friends and exploring both inside and outside.
Forest School 24/09/24 Year 3 enjoyed another fantastic forest school session this Tuesday! This week the children conducted their own science investigation into whether having longer legs meant that you could jump further from a standing start. The children independently measured each others leg length, followed by their jump distance in order to form [...]
Year 3 had a brilliant week this week with their first Forest School session. The children spent some time collecting loose parts to show what they had learnt about the skeleton in our science lessons so far. There were some fantastic, well thought out designs! We finished our session with a toasted marshmallow and [...]
