Attendance 

Nursery 

Nursery have been practising their sticking stills this week, they thought about the colours they wanted to decorate the bear’s quilt with and then they were very careful when using the glue sticks.

Reception 

Reception have kick-started their topic this term on ‘Life on the Farm’. They have loved playing in the new garden centre role-play area, learning about plants and growing. They have also enjoyed getting muddy while exploring how to plant seeds!

Year 2

Year 2 has started their new Science topic of ‘plants’. We had a look at some common plants, including trees, and then had a look to see what different types of plants we could find in and around our playground. We then drew and described them. Surprisingly, there were far more varieties than we thought!

Year 3

In PSHE, we started our new topic by looking at the roles and responsibilities of members of our families. We also thought about  expectations for males and females, and worked in pairs to decide if certain jobs were mainly for men, women or both. 

Year 4

This week, Year 4 kicked off their new Science topic all about sound. We began by exploring how sounds are created and headed out on a "sound survey" around the school grounds. The children were fascinated to discover a world of noises we usually ignore—from the hum of the fridge to the rustle of the trees. It was a wonderful exercise in mindfulness and scientific observation! 

Year 5

This week, our Year 5 artists traded their desks for the rugged peaks of the Himalayas as we explored the breathtaking work of Nicholas Roerich. Known for his vibrant use of colour and spiritual connection to the mountains, Roerich provided the perfect inspiration for our current study of landscape and form. We look forward to seeing these sketches evolve into full-color masterpieces as we introduce tempera and layering techniques next week!
