Our classroom was full of festive cheer today as children — together with their parents — spent the afternoon creating handmade Christmas tree decorations! 🧵⭐
The children proudly used their sewing skills and it was lovely to see families working side-by-side, stitching, designing, and sharing in the holiday spirit. The ornaments turned out beautifully and the smiles said it all.
A huge thank-you to all the parents who joined us and made the afternoon even more special! ❤️🎅
This week we’re starting to get into the Christmas spirit in the form of art! We used watercolours to create a skyline scene, before drawing a nativity scene over it to form a silhouette outline. The children had a lovely morning creating this gorgeous artwork, listening to some Christmas music and getting into the festive spirit!
Today in 3TE, the children have been engaging with mathematics and art simultaneously by creating some beautiful reflective artwork. As you can see, they have indeed achieved some lovely creations!
Check out 5HJ’s rainforest-themed soft toys—bursting with vibrant colors and creativity! Not only are these cuddly creatures adorable but they’re also sewn by our talented children. The children’s sewing skills really shine through, making each toy extra special. Perfect for sparking joy and learning about the rainforest!
After selling academic calendars from our previous expedition, Fight For Your Rights, and hosting a bake sale, Year 5 & 6 students raised over £600 to support not one, but two local food bank charities!
A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and everyone involved for making this happen. Your hard work and generosity are helping provide food for families in need within our community.
The snow brought pure joy to the playground yesterday. Laughter filled the air as the children played in the fresh snow, making the most of every frosty moment.
It was the perfect day for outdoor fun and a reminder of how exciting nature can be! Let’s hope there’s more snow to come!
5HJ have been diving into the short multiplication and it’s been fantastic to see their progress! With a bit of practice and plenty of focus, they’ve been mastering how to multiply larger numbers step by step. The children have really embraced the challenge showing a lot of determination and teamwork as they solve problems. Not only are they sharpening their multiplication skills but they’re also building confidence. It’s exciting to watch them grow in their understanding and enjoy the process of problem-solving!
In honour of Maths Week England, the children have participated in a range of different maths based tasks this week. We have explored and completed a variety of problems that required some different thinking.
The children have showed great perseverance, resilience and patience. They’ve had to work systematically and had to work together to battle through these difficult problems but have done so exceptionally.
5HJ have been busy using their sewing skills to create soft toys inspired by the rainforest. They’ve been carefully stitching colourful animals and it’s been wonderful to see their creativity come to life. I can’t wait to see the final outcomes!
As 6RH begin the second half of our expedition, we have had a visit from some very interesting and unusual creatures as we re-hook the children into our learning.
