ENTRY POINT:
Our new topic is called ‘Time Tunnel’ – here are some pictures from our entry point where we worked out where in history we are, and what has come before us.
Doves Entry Point – Earth as an Island
What is an Island? How are Islands formed? Name a Volcanic Island, Coral Island, Tidal Island, Hot and Cold Island. Find an Island from each continent. Name and find the Islands of the British Isles. Just some of the questions Doves had to solve this afternoon.
Falcons and Doves Muddy Puddle Day
We had so much fun splashing in the muddy puddles on our well-being day. We discussed how we felt at different times of the walk and focused our minds on certain senses. Both classes enjoyed discovering new places to visit on our doorstep.
Doves Brainwave Exit Point
For our exit point we used our brain muscle to play different games. They included rhythmic clapping games, opposites game, code breaker and memory games. It was really interesting to see how hard some of these games were. We needed to use our coordination, logic, concentration and listening skills. We had to consider what was …
Doves and Falcons Muddy Puddle Reminder
Just a quick reminder that it is our muddy puddle day on Wednesday. The children have already been told and wrote a note in their planners. They need to come in their own clothes that they don’t mind getting muddy and appropriate footwear e.g. walking boots or wellies.
Doves Entry Point – Brainwave
To begin our new topic all about the brain and how we learn, we taught the class different skills. We had drawing skills, dance moves, magic tricks, keyboard skills and many, many more. It was fascinating to watch the children teach their skills and watch the children being taught. Ask your children about what they …

Year 6 cut straight to the heart of the matter!
Year 6 were very interested to have the chance to closely observe the dissection of a pig’s heart and lung. An impressively large number of students were able to touch it (with gloves on), and some students had to leave the room. Thanks again to Mrs Bowman for giving up her time and sharing her …

The children have come into school this morning looking extremely smart and have been excited to move into their new classes with their new teachers. The school has been a hub of activity with PE lessons, writing, maths and so …
