Homework
Your child will bring their homework home every Monday and should return it the following Monday. This will usually alternate between maths and English/grammar (SPAG). Homework may be used to support other areas of the curriculum too. We politely request that parents mark the work with their child so that any misconceptions can be addressed when returned to school. If they are struggling with any aspects please just write a note on the homework.
Spellings
Spellings will be tested each week on Monday and the new list will be given out following the weekly test. A spelling book will also be sent home with the spellings in.

Wednesday 5 November 2025 All Dressed Up - KS1 Entry Point Today saw the start of our new topic 'All Dressed Up.' As our entry point, our Year 1 children visited Bradford Industrial Museum to see how cloth is made. They completed a weaving workshop where they learnt the process of making wool; from sheep shearing to carding, combing, spinning and finally weaving. We even saw a range of clothes from the past and were able to discuss how they are different from the clothes we wear today. What a great and interesting way to start our new topic!

Tuesday 4 November 2025 KS1 open their own art gallery! (Exit Point) To conclude our topic 'Hooray, let's go on Holiday,' KS1 set up their own art gallery in the hall showcasing their work using pastels, pencil and charcoal. The children have learnt a range of pastel techniques and have utilised these to create images of coastal towns and the physical/human geography features that might be seen there. They have also used pencil and charcoal to create their own cliff images; showing light and dark.

Friday 24 October 2025 Science in Eagles - Welly Walk In science, Eagles went on a leaf hunt around the school grounds to explore and identify different types of plants and leaves. Using our classroom learning, we observed the shapes, sizes, and colours of leaves to help us recognise a variety of tree species. Along the way, we also looked closely at different plants, identifying their key parts such as roots, stems, stalk, petals, trunk, branches, bark and leaves. We really enjoyed being able to apply our science knowledge to the real world and learn more about the nature around us.

Friday 24 October 2025 Problem Solving in Eagles (Badger Maths) In maths, our problem solving focus for this half-term is ‘using equipment and acting out.' We looked at three problems and used playdough, cubes and card squares to help us solve them. Lots of great discussion and team work took place.

Thursday 16 October 2025 Scrambled Sentences in Eagles In writing, our lessons are focused around the story of Billy's Bucket. Today, we revisited capital letters and full stops and focused on ensuring that a sentence makes sense. We fixed some examples of muddled sentences altogether before the children had a go in small groups. By the end of the lesson, we all understood that a sentence needs a capital letter, full stop and HAS to make sense! Eagles have now promised that they will not forget capital letters and full stops in their writing.😁

Thursday 16 October 2025 Eagles use Charcoal in Art As part of our topic work, the children have been looking at physical and human geography features that they might find at the coast. Today, we focused on cliffs; where the children drew a cliff using pencil before using charcoal to show light and shade. The children learnt that applying more pressure resulted in a darker colour and that they could blend charcoal to create a realistic image.

Saturday 11 October 2025 Eagles use pastels to create their own work in the style of Alfred Sisley As part of our topic work, we have been learning about the artist Alfred Sisley. He was a French born artist who often used muted tones and rough strokes in his work. He also liked to create images of the coast and as our topic is all about holidays, we decided to use the pastel techniques that we have learnt and create our own images of Finley, Whiteby and Saltburn-by-the-sea in his style.

We talked through their answers on the carpet and addressed any misconceptions.

Thursday 18 September 2025 Eagles Entry Point - Hooray, Let's Go on Holiday As our entry point to our new topic 'Hooray, Let's Go On Holiday,' the children practised booking a holiday in our very own 'Tranmere Travel Agents.' The children enjoyed taking on the role of the travel agents and the customers. They enjoyed selecting their own worldwide desination, deciding how long they wanted to stay for, how they wanted to travel there and which hotels they wanted to stay in. The children asked some fabulous questions and took on the roles brilliantly. Well done Eagles!

As part of our art focus, the children have been learning about sand artists and how they can create amazingly creative sand structures using a range of different tools. We wanted to have a go at creating our own and enjoyed experimenting with the tools to see what effects we could create. We also enjoyed adding our own decorations. Here we are at work

Wednesday 16 July 2025 Eagles measure capacity! As part of our work on measure, the children have been learning about capacity. They have been learning about the terms full and empty as well as comparing which container holds the most/least. Today, the children measured the capacity of different containers using non-standard units. How many cups of water does this jug/bowl hold? Through this, the children were able to identify the container that held the most and the least. We were super lucky as the sun came out for our measuring session too!
