Pupils are learning about different parts of the body in class. We have been singing , ” Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” in French as well as designing our own monster. This has let us use our reading and writing skills. We also used our talking skills when we described our monster to someone else.
We are looking forwards to finding out all about different types of food and studying the story of “Camille, la petite Chenille”- The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Last week the nursery children visited the local woods to look for signs of Spring where they saw one of the swans sitting on her nest.
We will keep an eye on this and let you know when there is any development.
During Eco week we made our very own paper – it was messy work but great fun!
As part of Eco week P6 investigated how much water our families use a week – the results were quite scary! As a class we thought of ways we could help conserve water – we all need to do our bit for our future!

You could hear a pin drop in P6 this morning as each company was finalising budgets and preparing pitches to enter the Dragon’s Den with the best possible chance of gaining an investment. But just who will be the Dragons? Watch this space to find out!
P6 have been set a design brief to create and produce a Fairtrade product. By taking in part in this enterprising activity we hope to show that Fairtrade isn’t just about a fortnight a year… it is important ALL year round!
Article 29
Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full. It must encourage the child’s respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents, their own and other cultures, and the environment.
This week P2 have been learning to add and subtract with a missing number. We talked about strategies that we can use to help us such as counting on, using a number line and splitting up the number.
We have all been learning to write our full names. Cameron C was very proud of himself!
The Lightening McQueen reading group enjoyed reading using our funny voice cards. Matthew loved reading with a monster voice and Leo was very good at reading like a lion.
We enjoyed P.E outside in the beautiful weather! Andrew loved playing football and Jodie enjoyed time on the tyre park.
P2 loved the dinosaur topic in term 3 so we are going to finish the topic next week with a volcano eruption! We are all so excited to see what happens! Here is our volcano, ready to go…
Watch out for photos of the eruption next week.
In Miss Rodford’s vertical learning group, we were learning about …
Children having the right to relax and play
(Article 31)
We watched a video and looked at different items to work out what rights children have. We found out that …
Children have the right to …
* Be cared for by a family
* To have a home
* To food and water
* To feel safe
* To play
We then looked at different toys and games and talk about why it is important to play and how playing makes us feel.
‘Playing makes us feel happy’ – Oscar
‘You might feel left out if you can’t play’ – Alex
‘We would feel tired if we worked all day’ Calum

During Eco Week we undertook a lot of different activities. One of the highlights was when Joanne Dunne came to visit us to show us a wormery. There were lots of squeamish children – not too keen to get a close look! Check out some photos.
We also got a chance to do some planting in the school garden. Watch this space closely!
This week in our Growth Mindset lunchtime club we have been looking at famous failures. A lot of famous people in the past have been discouraged but then went on to succeed. Here are a few examples:
And those are just four of millions.
Watch out for our growth mindset celebrity spotter display at reception.

During Eco week Primary 7a set themselves the challenge of creating life-like wildlife art work. It took a lot of perseverance (and working through our frustrations) to create images that had all the correct visual details that would bring our wild animals to life. Have a look at some of our finished masterpieces!
We also investigated food chains and webs in our science work, identifying ‘producers’, ‘primary consumers’ and ‘secondary consumers’. We considered and discussed the changes that can happen in an ecosystem and to food chains when we make changes in our world.
It’s more fun that it sounds, especially when you get to learn by singing (and dancing for those who felt like it) the information!
