Here are a few snaps from our Christmas Party yesterday and our visit from a very special guest! 🎅 Check out our video of Beck and Gladys – our future Strictly Come Dancing professionals! Grace and Archie were also excellent!
It’s safe to say fun was had by all, and excitement levels are off the scale. Mrs S and I are ready for lie down 🤣. Have a lovely Christmas with family and friends. See you next year!

Each fortnight, at our assemblies, pupils will be presented with a Star Pupil or curricular area certificates recognising pupil achievements. This could be something inside or outside of school. Well done to Lillie, Zeeshan, Zoeya and Ollie who were awarded certificates today. 👏🏻
Please continue to upload any photos of pupil achievements in our Google Classroom. Look in the classwork section to find the achievements assignment.
We all observed a minute silence on Friday to mark Remembrance day. We also learned about why we wear a poppy. In the morning we worked in trios to make our very own poppies for our Autumn window display.
On Thursday we worked in pairs to measure ourselves! One pupil lay on the ground while the other joined the unifix cubes together to make a long line beside their partner. We made sure it lined up with the top of our heads and bottom of our feet. It was good fun counting up to 60 and nearly 70 too!

We worked in trios last week to clean the dirty playground water we collected! We used coffee filters, sand, cotton balls & rocks to filter out dirty water. We were amazed by how clean the water looked at the end. We annotated a diagram labelling our experiment! Well done P1.4 ⭐️
Thank you for all your junk materials. The pupils had a great afternoon sorting and building their shape robots last week.
We categorised every item into each shape: Cylinders, cubes, cuboids, spheres and cones. Anything we didn’t know was put back in the ‘we don’t know’ pile.
Some pupils wanted to work with a friend and others independently. Their creations were brilliant and they were able to engage in conversations about what 3D shape made up different parts of their robots! Some pupils went on to create lovely Lego robots during play. Well done P1.4!
What do you do when it rains? Most people stay inside, but not us! We went outside and watched as the heavy rain fell on Thursday. We looked to see where the rainwater was flowing, where it was collecting and where it went?
The pupils were fascinated about where it went next after flowing through the drain.
“It goes in the river.”
“It goes down the drain and down more drains and more drains and into the sea.”
“It goes into the sewer.”
I explained that a lot of our water is collected, cleaned and then comes out our taps. We watched a video about the Water Works and the process of water filtration!
We ran outside, collected a big tub of dirty water and created our own water filtration experiment. Pupils will have another chance to do this next week – photos to follow.
Today we wrote stories about Queen Elizabeth II, the things she liked, why she was important and what she will be remembered for: Tea with Paddington, jumping out of helicopters with 007, her love for Scotland and her cute Corgis were most popular.
We used our knowledge of repeating patterns and 2D shapes to create beautiful crowns! Thanks to Mrs McDonagh for helping us staple everything together. Well done Kings and Queens. 👑
We had lots of fun creating 2D Shape Robots, yesterday. We revised the shapes; circle, square, triangle and rectangle and learned 2 new shapes.
We counted their sides and talked about what we thought they might be called. After some great answers, the class learned they were called Pentagon (5sides) and Hexagon (6sides). We also talked about how sometimes the beginning of a number word can give us a clue about its meaning:
UNIcycle = 1 wheel
BIcycle = 2 wheels
TRIcycle = 3 wheels
We know that PENT- means 5 and HEX- means 6! We’ll need to ask P7 if they know their Greek and Latin number prefixes like us!
The pupils worked so well in pairs, they are beginning to see the benefits of teamwork and importance of compromise! Well done P1.4!
On Friday we investigated repeating patterns! We looked for them around our classroom, then in pairs we created our own using loose parts. Lots of creativity and challenge whilst learning about patterns. Well done P1.4!
