Unpicking age related models to support leading our own learning!

15th April 2025Miss Blackham

Today, our lovely Year 6’s kick-started their narrative cycle by looking at a range of age-related pieces of writing as models. They discussed the features the models included as well as what made them strong pieces of writing. We all agreed these pieces built cohesion which is our focus for this term. I’m really looking forward to seeing our final pieces as the weeks unfold!

Well done 6B!

Super Science Fair

28th March 2025Mrs Graves

I couldn’t be more proud of the children in 4G! They have worked so incredibly hard in preparation for their science fair, and today they really pulled it off.

All around the room, I could hear and see everyone sharing their learning with all the parents. There were experiments and demonstrations, and above all fantastic scientific knowledge.

Our parents and carers were great and were asking challenging questions of the children – which they handled so well.

The children showed such character and it was lovely to see children being pushed out of their comfort zone and talking to adults.

Above all, this came from the children – they shared their interest, what they have been inspired by and gave it 100%. The amount of incredible work completed at home was testament to how much they wanted to show what they knew.

The classroom was buzzing and so was I!

Well done 4G, you did an incredible job!

And now on to our next expedition!!
