This week we worked scientifically to test materials to see if they were waterproof . In english we continued with our topic of traditional tales and used conjuntions in sentences about Goldilocks. In geography we named the 5 oceans of the world . The EYFS children have been busy looking at numbers within numbers , working hard with their phonics and making playdough ! Have a great weekend .

Reading is one of the most important things we do in school, and we are really lucky to have such an amazing library to use. We make sure we find time to read individually every day, as well as reading a class book out loud too. The children love using the books to discover new things and help us with our topic work (and some people have worked out that at book can be handy for hiding behind when the teacher is taking pictures for the website too! ).

We've been having fun in science testing the strength of different light sources and observing the darkness of the shadows created. We've started looking at our history topic, The impact on Britain after the Roman invasion, and as always, we began looking at where this topic slotted in with all our other studied history topics. We lined them up on a timeline and made sure to take spacing between the events to show the passage of time. We've now started to look at Celtic Brita

This week the KS1 children have continued to learn about everyday materials . We have looked at the properties of different materials and used scientific language to describe them. We started our geography topic by looking at the 7 continents on the world map and naming them. The reception children have started their phonics lessons and have worked really hard! Our new nursery children have settled really well this week . Very well done Ellie, Billy and Willow ! Have a super

This week we have been carrying out some experiments in science to see what happens when we heat and cool solids, and how we can change the state a material is in. We timed how long it would take for jelly cubes to melt in some beakers, which all had different temperatures of water in. Afterwards, we looked at what would happen if we then cooled a liquid down at different temperatures too, and how long they would take to solidify. We all had lots of fun measuring temperatures

We've had a really busy two weeks, and now my ipad is working, I can load pictures on again of all the things we've been up to. Firstly, we celebrated our first day back by hearing about one another's summer and I shared some American sweets from my travels, with of course was much appreciated. We've been securing our understanding of place value by reaching the dizzying numbers of up to 10,000,000. The children have worked out to break numbers down (partition) to much more

We have a busy time in Class 1 - here is our timetable and the current overviews of our learning.

Welcome back everyone ! It was lovely to see all the children and meet the new starters across school . We will start reading ,spelling and homework very soon. In science,our topic is Everyday materials and in English we are looking at Traditional Tales. Our EYFS children have started their topic All About Me . Have a super weekend .

It has been lovely to be able to welcome all of the children back after the summer holidays, and also to be able to say hello to lots of new starters in our class this week too. Everyone has really enjoyed getting back together again and playing and chatting with their friends. This week we have started to look at our new topic which is "Rivers", and we have used our map skills to be able to locate some of the main rivers in the UK. We also followed the course of some of the

Welcome back to the new class 3; we've now relocated up stairs and we're getting our steps in :-) I hope you all had a wonderful summer break. We have an action-packed year ahead of us. Below is a termly overview of what we'll be covering. Also, this is a timetable of what a typical week will look like during the autumn term. Don't forget about our drop in sessions for any questions or just to stop by and see the new classroom. That will be on the 16th September after school

This week the children have been making some mini-flag poles to tie in with the World Cup. They had to design a way of getting the flags to go up and down the pole, and then they decorated their creations too. Afterwards everyone drew the flag of the country that they thought would win the World Cup, and nearly the whole class went for England! Let's hope they're right!

Class 1 have had an exciting week with a trip to Thorpe Perrow and a KS1 trip to watch an Opera North performance of Mozarts' The Magic Flute. It was magical! In DT this week the KS1 children have been working to create axels with functioning wheels which they will use to make a vehicle. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

This week class1 have continued to explore ways to sort trees and plants. Thank you for your support with their homework! In maths we have contined to compare amounts of money. We will be looking at how giving change works next week. In RE the children have looked at stories that are special to Muslims and have explored what happens in a Mosque. We have a busy week next week with our Trip to Thorpe Perrow on Monday and the trip on Friday for the KS1 children in the morning to

As the children have been taking part in a school play all about Robin Hood we thought it would be a good idea to look at the story of Robin in our Guided Reading sessions. The children loved reading all of the different tales that Robin was involved in and we acted a few of the scenes out too. After a few battles in class with the evil Sheriff we wrote down our answers in our books and even drew what we thought Robin's hideaway would look like based on the text. The children

Greetings from Bewerley Park - this is our dorm block. The boys have the front end and the girls have the back block. Unfortunately the inside is not fit for photography after looking like a suitcase explosion within 5 minutes of arrival 😉. We prefer it outside anyway, where we have a huge playing field and lots of activities to amuse us. We've had an action-packed day. Everybody arose bright and early and started the day with a cooked breakfast before heading out for a day

This role will support the smooth running of the lunchtime break, supervising the children and ensuring their safety at all times. You will work closely with staff to support the children whilst they have their lunch and whilst playing for the remainder of the period outside in the p

We've had a great first day at Bewereley Park. We unpacked our bags, chose our bunks and made our beds (perhaps the most challenging task of the day) and then headed straight off to Brimham rocks for some rock-climbing challenges. We had to work as a team, listen carefully and push ourselves out of our comfort zone and through some quite tight spaces. We all then had a great dinner, used the tuck shop and have done some orienteering and played lots of football and blockie.

This week the children have looked at different flowering plants,made comparisons between their leaves and flowers and named the main parts. In maths EYFS have been making and counting sets of 20 objects. We have tried to stay cool with calm mindful activities like colouring, drawing and water play. The EYFS children had a shady forest school with lots of making. They have been amazing at coping with the heatwave! Well done class 1!

Yesterday we all had a great time to visit Leeds Art Gallery; it was a welcome relief to be inside a cool building to spend the day. We spent sometime admiring the different styles of art, from Victorian oil paintings, to a mixture of mediums to paint portraits, to modern sculpture and, well, lots of other 'art' pieces known as contemporary, which required lots of open-mindedness to interpret which was lots of fun. It was a wonderful experience to get the chance to appreciate

This week class 1 have been learning about the different plants and trees in our school grounds and locality . They have learnt to look carefully , sort and record their findings . We compared the bark rubbings the children made and the different leaf types. We sorted wild and garden flowers and made detailed sketches . In RE EYFS talked about the bible story of David and Goliath and KS1 looked at the features of a mosque. In English we have started learning about Kennings

The children have been working hard on their singing skills again with Mrs Longstaff this week, and they are sounding amazing! We have a really talented bunch of singers and I love seeing how much their confidence has grown too as they perform their songs to the rest of the class. They have also been working on some of the songs for the school play, but I promised Mr B not to give any spoilers away for the upcoming performance so I won't say too much about that; you'll have t
