EYFS Showtime!

11th October 2024Joshua Meade

The children enjoyed an immersive special EYFS story time… get the popcorn ready!

Nursery have worked hard over the last two days, to collaboratively create a story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We discussed story sequencing such as the start and the end, and used our story map to help us independently re tell the story afterwards.

5S analyse the features of non-chronological reports

11th October 2024Mr Schofield

5S have worked brilliantly in pairs this morning to analyse the features of an expedition-related text which takes the form of a non-chronoligical report.

We read the text together then identified the features and their purpose, before sharing our ideas as a class.

We are persevering with dictionary dilemmas!

10th October 2024Mrs Haycock

Finding words in a dictionary can be a tricky skill to learn; but with weekly practice, we are getting there. Some children are even ready to take on ‘Haycock the Hustler’ and compete to be the quickest to find all of our Speedy Reading key words.

Can any one beat my record times? Who’s up for the challenge, 3H?

We are enjoying our paired reading

10th October 2024Mrs Haycock

Kyryl and Raegan have really enjoyed reading to learn more about World War Two together every Tuesday morning. Their faces say it all…look how happy and engaged they both are!

Well done boys, you make a great team. I wonder what facts you can remember?

Mrs Graves and Mrs Robertson are really proud of the work that 4GR are doing in our English and Expedition lessons. They’ve even created an informative video about rationing during World War 2.

We Are Storytellers!

9th October 2024Amy Woods

Our nursery children have been working hard to re tell the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We used props during our expedition session to re tell the story altogether, the children then independently carried this on in provision.

Identifying features of a text!

9th October 2024Miss Blackham

6B were superstars as always yesterday. Our final write for our English cycle will be a non-chronological report. We kick started the cycle looking at a model and identifying what features are included in a non-chronological report to help us when writing our own.

To be or not to be!

26th September 2024Mr Pickering

2P have been learning about different verb types in English. We are becoming very good at recognising action verbs and verbs ‘to be’ and ‘to have’. We went on a verb hunt today to spot each different type of verb and then we recorded them in the correct group. Great work 2P!

Amazing maths in F2BP

26th September 2024Rebecca Bubb

The children explored the number four today. They led their own learning and showed that they understand the different ways four can be made using cubes, toys, drawing, even body shapes! Lots of children got postcards today!
