This week the children took part in a national times tables competition using the Rockstar Maths website. It was a very close event and we are all really proud of how well the children did and how hard they worked to get points to move us up the leaderboards. Unfortunately when we first logged on we couldn't get on the site as their servers were down as so many children across the country were playing at the same time. We soon came back though and on day two moved up 4000 pla

Over the past few weeks, we've been studying the book 'Malamander' which is a legendary creature who lurks within the sea mist in the town of Eerie-On-Sea. We've been working towards writing our own legends and for this we have been writing some poems which sound like folk law, with mysterious hearsays and tales of sightings. We also created some Malamander eyes to accompany them. Here we are having great fun using clay to create an eye shape with stand-out features Our fini

This week we had some exciting news - Sara Cox was going to be running through our village as part of her Northern Challenge, where she was aiming to run 135 miles for Children in Need. With that in mind, we wanted to make her feel are inspired as possible, give her that extra life she no doubt needed to carry on. We began by designing posters with motivational slogans on and theming them around Children In Need Then came the moment we'd all been waiting for, first the drones

This week has been very exciting . The children made fantastic banners to encourage Sara Cox on her fundraising marathon run .

In maths ,EYFS have been learning about all the ways to make numbers to 5 and ordering number cards. KS1 have been wo

Yesterday we held our Children in Need day in school to help raise money for a great charity. We moved the event a day forward so that we could celebrate Sara Cox running through the village and so that we could give her lots of encouragement as she went past our school. The children loved making some posters to wave and they were brilliant at cheering her on, and lots even got high-fives from her too! As if that wasn't exciting enough, FROGS even organised for an ice-cream v

Welcome to our new class page ! This week the children have been learning about why we celebrate Bonfire night , talking about keeping safe and exploring techniques to make firework pictures. In maths the KS1 children have been counting in tens to make 2 digit numbers and EYFS have started to look at the different ways to make and represent numbers to 5. In science we have started looking at how animals can be sorted by their classification and by what they eat. Well done cla

This week we have been looking at maps and how to use them to find our way around. We started out by looking at some maps of our local area and seeing if we could use these to find some of the villages and landmarks near us. We also looked at the different symbols on the maps and thought about what these might stand for. The children then had a great time outside creating their own maps of the school and using the points of the compass to work out where things are in relatio
