We enjoyed joining together this afternoon for some football coaching.

Check out our brilliant ball skills!

Temperatures!

Posted on Monday 03 July 2023 by Miss Kay

Throughout Year 2, we’ve been recording the temperature once a week.

Today, we put our data from the first six weeks in the Spring term into block diagrams using cubes!

Total Warrior

Posted on Monday 03 July 2023 by Miss Beatson

Year 6 had a brilliant time at Bramham Park where they took part in the Total Warrior Challenge. By the end, they were head to toe in mud but with huge smiles on their faces. Well done Year 6!

Forest School

Posted on Friday 30 June 2023 by Mrs Palmer

Today we celebrated mud week at Forest School. We could paint using mud, we could cook different food with it in the mud kitchen, we could squelch the mud with our hands. It was all very fun and messy. We also had a go at using a flint and steal to spark a fire.

 

 

Week 4 – Clean up!

Posted on Friday 30 June 2023 by Mr Roundtree

Our focus book this week has been ‘Clean Up’ by Nathan Byron. This story helps us to understand why looking after our planet is so important and the impact pollution can have on our environment. The children have loved thinking of ways that they could help people to remember to take their rubbish home or put it in a bin.

Our book was set in Jamaica. We learnt more about where Jamaica was in the world and that it was an island. We recognised that we live on an island too! We then labelled the land and sea and made our own islands.

As there has been more rain this week, this made us think about rain coats and what materials are best to keep us dry. We decided to conduct an experiment to see which materials would be best to make a jacket for a polar bear.

We have learnt more about the sculpture Alexander Calder. We looked at some of his pieces of work and created our own inspired pieces using wire and polystyrene 3d shapes.

Our poem this week was all about peas! We hope you enjoy it!

Didn’t we have a lovely time …..

Posted on Thursday 29 June 2023 by Mrs Freeman

It was an absolute pleasure to take KS2 to Filey beach last week.

The children showed respect, followed instructions and represented our school admirably. Throughout the day, all of the adults were impressed with the social skills the pupils were using. We observed and overheard: cooperation, good manners, teamwork, listening to each other, patience, good communication, compliments and lots of encouragement for each other (especially in the sea!).

Many thanks to all of the adults who helped to make the day such an enjoyable one!

This has been one of the best trips I have ever had the pleasure to attend. The look on the children’s faces, when arriving on the beach, will be etched in my mind for a long time!   Mrs Freeman

 

 

Our trip to Cannon Hall Farm

Posted on Wednesday 28 June 2023 by Mr Roundtree

We’ve had a fantastic time today on our trip to Cannon Hall Farm! All of the children behaved impeccably and were a credit to our school.

We saw so many animals on our tour: horses, pigs, goats, llamas, and much more. We had the chance to feed some animals too!
We ended the day by playing in the park. Have a look at the fun we had with our video montage below.
Help at home: ask your child if they have learned anything new today!

 

Construction Using Techcard

Posted on Wednesday 28 June 2023 by Miss Gledhill

During our D.T lesson, years 3 and 4 joined together to explore how to create models using Techcard. They did a fantastic job at using the resources to construct stable models.

 

Filey!

Posted on Sunday 25 June 2023 by Miss Beatson

Key Stage 2 had a wonderful time in Filey. We built sandcastles, paddled in the sea, had a picnic and ice-cream on the beach and played lots of fun games. We didn’t want to leave!

Science: How do my teeth work?

Posted on Friday 23 June 2023 by Mr Roundtree

We’ve been learning about teeth in our science lesson. After exploring our own teeth and how we can take great care of our teeth, we learned about the jobs of each type of teeth: incisor, canine, pre-molar and molar.

Help at home: Why not try timing your child’s teeth brushing – it’s recommended to be two minutes each morning and evening. Chat about the importance of taking care of our teeth and ways in which we can keep our mouths healthy.
