This week in London class the children have been finishing creating our class story map for Jack & the Beanstalk. We have joined in with activities to embed the story and deepen our understanding. We enjoyed a visit from an athlete where we had the opportunity to join in with a fitness circuit.

This week, Year 1 hosted their very first classroom expo! The children were so excited to share their learning with their parents and get everyone fully involved in the activities.

It was fantastic to see the children confidently explaining their work and encouraging their families to participate. Their energy and enthusiasm made the event a wonderful success and we are so proud of all they achieved!

This week in Year 2/3, we have been busy showcasing everything we have learned throughout the term at our Parents’ Expo. The classroom was full of excitement as children became the teachers, showing their parents the skills they have developed.They proudly interacted with parents, demonstrated their creativity, and even taught them how to play the djembe drums! Colombo class are now very much looking forward to starting their own djembe drumming sessions after the Easter break.  In DT, the children made their third dish of the term: a delicious vegetable quiche. Our little chefs learned some fantastic new kitchen techniques, including blind baking, grating, and cracking eggs. The excitement was clear as the children eagerly waited for the quiches to come out of the oven.

It’s been an action-packed week in Year 4! In Maths, the children showed great determination tackling the transition from improper fractions to mixed numbers. Our Science lessons were equally "electrifying" as everyone got hands-on building their own working circuits, while our Anglo-Saxon workshop brought history to life with a wealth of new facts and artefacts. To top it all off, we had a truly inspirational visit from GB athlete Victoria Ohuruogu; the children loved hearing her story and showed fantastic energy joining her for a circuit training session!

This week, Year 5 enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Natural History Museum in Tring. The children took part in animal classification workshops and explored the exhibits, investigating how different species adapt to their environments and how their teeth reflect their diets. They also produced fabulous drawings of the displays and, of course, thoroughly enjoyed the unplanned ride on the double-decker bus!

In science this week, Year 6 have been learning about the circulatory system and the important journey of a red blood cell. The children explored how the heart pumps blood, how oxygen is carried around the body and why this process is essential for life. They worked with great respect for each other’s ideas while discussing and sharing their learning.

This week we dived into our curriculum providing time and a wealth of pupil books to explore the provision provided so far this term. Teachers worked collaboratively to review outcomes and make suggestions about how to improve things further.
