  • Friday 13 June 2025 Time, diaries and materials In our science lessons, we have continued to look at materials. We have been scientists by predicting and testing different materials to see what properties they have, including whether they are waterproof or absorbent. The children looked at which materials were most suitable to make things like a tower, bridge, parachute.

  • Friday 6 June 2025 Grand Grandparents and Sensational Scientists What a wonderful end to the week we had, welcoming all of the wonderful grandparents who were able to come into school and support their Grandchildren's learning. They were given a fantastic treat of touring our equivalent of the National Gallery in London or the Louvre in Paris where they could view and purchase a beautiful piece of artwork created by their own grandchildren. We then had lots of fun decorating Elmer the Patchwork elephant using different textures of materials to help reinforce our learning in science. It was a lovely way to end the week.

The children have come back brilliantly and have enjoyed the start of our new topic ‘ Oh I do like to be beside the seaside’ They have enjoyed listening to the song and talking about beaches, what we might do there, features of a beach and what we would wear. They even created their own seaside’s using small world parts. Some of the children made 3D lighthouses and were able to talk about what lighthouses are used for and where we might find them. Keep an eye out for them on display when you come for the next celebration afternoon.
