Week 6

We had a wonderful time on the climbing wall this week. Lots of us conquered our fears and showed real resilience whilst trying to get to the top. Well done, Kingfishers!

Week 5

We have been learning about Anglo-Saxon Crime and Punishment in History this week. We found it fascinating to learn about the different corporal punishments and how a culprit's guilt was often determined by a trial by ordeal.

Week 4

In science this week, we have been learning all about the human skeleton. We learnt some of the scientific names of specific bones and had lots of fun creating our own dancing skeletons from art straws.

Week 3

We have started a new literacy unit this week and we have spent our last few literacy lessons deconstructing the model text and identifying its features. The model text is a set of instructions on how to attack an Anglo-Saxon Settlement. We had a great time acting out each of the instructions.

Week 2

This week in our Jigsaw lessons, we learnt about how to deal with conflicts between friends. We thought about taking time to calm down and reflect, before trying to compromise and resolve the problem.

Week 1

We have had a great first week of Summer Term. I have loved getting to know the children again and it's been amazing to see how much they have all learnt since I last taught them in Class 1!

We have started learning about our new topic, 'The Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings and the Battle for England' and we have started our new core text for this term, 'The Nothing to see Here Hotel' by Steven Butler. It looks like a really funny book and we can't wait to find out what happens!

🌸🌈☀️😎 Summer 😎☀️🌈🌸

Week 3

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day. It's one of our favourite days of the year and we had lots of fun coming into school dressed as our favourite book characters. In the afternoon, we took part in a dance workshop with West End in Schools, where we brought the story of Pinocchio to life. It was so much fun! Next week, we are also being visited by author Ruth Quayle as part of our WBD celebrations and we can't wait!

Week 2

This week we continued looking at bridges in design and technology. We made prototypes and tested them for their strength and durability. We are currently in the process of researching, designing, making and evaluating bridges so watch this space for our final results!

Week 1

We have now started our new topic where we get to learn all about The Romans! We are loving it so far! This week, we had a look at who the Romans where and where they came from. We also started reading our new text "Romans on the Rampage" by Jeremy Strong - which we think is great! In Literacy, we are currently looking at poems and will be writing a poem of our own all about life as a Roman solider. We're really looking forward to finding out more as the term progresses.

🌼🐣🍀 Spring 2 🍀🐣🌼

Week 5

What a great term we've had! It was only a short one but we got so much in during our 5 weeks. A highlight for us this week was our PSHE work. We have been working on the Jigsaw Dreams and Goals unit of work and we have been working as a team to design a garden for a group of people who have specific needs. We all had different roles in our teams and we did such a fantastic job. We enjoyed every second of the process!

Week 4

Look at our art work from this week! We have been completing the sculpture, structure, inventiveness and determination pathway in our lessons and this week we focused on drawing birds nests. We learned that art can express how we're feeling and it can be messy at times! We had lots of fun taking creative risks and experimenting with different medium.

Week 3

What a great week! We really enjoyed rounding it off with performing our class assembly on natural disasters to the school and our families on Friday. We had lots of lines (and even more technical vocabulary!) to deliver and we all did brilliantly. 

Week 2

This week we have been busy exploring different information texts. We have been unpicking them and identifying which features are included within them in preparation for writing our own all about volcanoes! We have been enjoying exploring a non-fiction text in Literacy and we can't wait to get researching and writing to show our readers everything we have learned in our topic!

Week 1

We had a great first week back at school! Take a look at our curriculum page to find out what we're going to be getting up to this half term.

We really enjoyed the first of this year's swimming lessons on Wednesday and we're looking forward to making lots of progress in the pool over the coming weeks.

🌸🐰🌿 Spring 1 🌿🐰🌸

Week 6

What a fantastically festive final week! We're certainly ready for a rest after such an exciting half term. 

We hope you all have a very merry Christmas and we'll be back, raring and ready to go in 2024!

Week 5

We have been in the kitchen for our DT unit this half term! As part of our learning around cooking and nutrition, we had a go at creating an Iron Age bannock. Take a look at the process and our results...

Week 4

In Literacy this week we have been writing character descriptions on The Iron Man and we have created wanted posters full of exciting vocabulary to describe the metal monstrosity! Our work is filled with nifty noun phrases, awesome alliterative sentences and superb similes. We're so proud of what we've achieved!

Week 3

In Science we set up an investigation to test the impact of friction. This was the first of our observational tests for our "Forces and Magnets" unit. We made some great predictions but some of the results surprised us a little! Take a look at how we got on...

Week 2

This week we performed our class assembly in front of the whole school and our adults from home. It was all about two children who fell into the pages of a book and were transported to... The Stone Age! We all worked so hard with remembering our lines, actions and songs and we were brilliant! We're so proud of ourselves. 

Week 1

What a great first week back at school! We have spent our time beginning all of our new topics for this half term and focusing on Anti-Bullying Week.

On Friday, we also marked BBC's Children in Need by coming into school in our pyjamas. To raise money for this cause we were set the challenge of completing 1000 "bearpees" as a class. We absolutely smashed this and ended the week with a grand total of 11,010! 

🎄🎅🏻🌟 Autumn 2 🌟🎅🏻🎄

Week 6

We kicked off our week with a sports hall athletics session and it was so much fun! We took part in all sorts of different activities including a speed bounce, chest push and javelin throwing to name but a few. We were all brilliant and we were set the challenge to keep practising to improve our skills and our PBs for next time! 

Week 5

We were fully immersed into the Stone Age during our Now Press Play session this week. It's always one of our favourite activities and we loved finding out more about our topic through this experience. Take a look...

Week 4

Yet another busy week for the Kingfishers! We took part in our first spelling relay of the year this week. It's a great activity to help us practise our spellings, build on our teamwork skills, keep us fit and active and most importantly, it's a lot of fun! Ask us all about it when we get home.

Week 3

We are currently LOVING our new class book The Wild Way Home by Sophie Kirtley. We have been reading it during our guided reading sessions and we are hooked. We've still got so many chapters to get through but we are loving the story so far and we've been doing brilliantly at building our reading skills along the way!

Week 2

This week we've been partitioning 3 and 4 digit numbers in Maths, adding apostrophes for contraction and possession in Literacy, finding rocks in our local area in Science, working with charcoal in Art and taking part in lots of fun lessons throughout the curriculum. What a week!

Week 1

We've had a great first week back at school! We've been busy getting into routines, learning all about our brand new topics and producing some excellent independent work! It's been such a hot first week back at school but we've all done a brilliant job at settling back in and we've all made Mrs Wynne very proud.
