In English, year 6 are studying and analysing the poem, The Tyger, by William Blake. Today, they annotated the poem, highlighting description, rhyming words, repetition and figurative language. The children then read the poem to their peers.
Year six used fieldwork skills to investigate and compare the environmental quality of different areas within the school grounds.
This week in DT, year 6 created mixed media collages of beetles using a wide variety of materials.
Year 4 enjoyed their recent Forest school session, where they explored simple machines. The children investigated how simple machines make work easier, linking their learning to the building of pyramids, during the Ancient Egyptian period.
Year Five had a great afternoon putting their knowledge of Greek architecture from our latest DT topic Architecture into practise. Using a computer aided design website called Tinkercad the children were able to draw and manipulate their designs to produce their own structures.
They did a great job and it seems we may have some budding architects in our midst! Well done Year 5!
Year Five celebrated World Music Day by learning about the composer Gustav Holst. After learning about his career and inspiration we went on to perform his pieces using body percussion, percussion instruments and glockenspiels. The children really enjoyed the array of choices and collections.

Reception really enjoyed Aspirations day.
Year 2 had such a fun-filled Aspirations Day yesterday. We loved finding out about all of our visitors. We conducted an experiment with a scientist, talked about our feelings with a therapist, held a millipede and looked at a range of animals with Snails and Tails, became paramedics on an ambulance, we learnt about how scaffolders fix things with scaffolding and about the value of play with a lecturer. After lunch we got to watch a fantastic magic show also! ✨
