Homework
Your child will bring their homework home every Monday and should return it the following Monday. This will usually alternate between maths and English/grammar (SPAG). Homework may be used to support other areas of the curriculum too. We politely request that parents mark the work with their child so that any misconceptions can be addressed when returned to school. If they are struggling with any aspects please just write a note on the homework.
Spellings
Spellings will be tested each week on Monday and the new list will be given out following the weekly test. A spelling book will also be sent home with the spellings in.

Wednesday 2 April 2025 KS1 Computing This half term, our computing unit has been 'algorithms and debugging.' Today, KS1 had a computing day, where they rotated around the different classrooms completing a range of activities. The children wrote their own algorithms and learnt about abstraction (filtering out the details that we don't need in order to focus on those that we do). They completed lots of practical activities and created their own plans of the classroom, filtering out any unnecessary detail.

Tuesday 25 March 2025 Key Stage 1 Muddy Puddles Today, KS1 have had a fantastic time immersing themselves in nature.

Wednesday 19 March 2025 Herons Entry Point Herons did some orienteering to discover what their new topic was going to be. They carried maps of the playground and had to go to certain points on the map which were numbered. When they found the number they had to write the letter below it on a grid. When they had found all the letters it spelled - ‘Our World’.Great work Herons !

Thursday 27 February 2025 Backchat Brass EYFS and KS1 Before half term we had a visit from the amazing Backchat Brass. They ran three fabulous interactive sessions for the children where they played some familiar tunes and introduced and explained their instruments. There were games, singing, dancing, songwriting (sort of!) and lots of laughs. They were absolutely brilliant. They children were mesmerised from the moment they started playing. Many thanks to our wonderful PTA for funding this excellent opportunity for a live performance.
