Good afternoon everyone,
We have had a lovely week here at school, punctuated by World Book Day.
First off, thanks to everyone who sent in some lovely baking - the class loved having story time and snacking simultaneously! We also managed to catch up with our year five buddies and share a book with them.
Abi from the Sports Partnership has been in this week and delivered a Boccia session. The class were fantastic and showed brilliant skills.
Well done everyone!
Have a good weekend,
Mr. H.
28.02.25 A week in review!

Good afternoon everyone,
This half-term has got up and running fast! The class are already getting enthusiastic about our new topic "Fire! Fire!"
To begin, they have been learning about what England and London, in particular, was like in 1666 and that period of time.
In maths, we have been consolidating on multiplication and division after a break for half term and using arrays and methods such as grouping and sharing to help work out number sentences.
Our history lesson has obviously revolved around the Great Fire of London and we have looked at what people wore, how they lived and what life would have been like for them.
Lastly, during science, the class took part in an investigation about waterproof materials. We had to work out which of our 6 sample materials would be the most suitable for a coat to be made out of. We worked in teams to test the samples by exposing them to water and observing how the materials handled the water and recorded our results in tables. To round off the lesson, the class wrote a conclusion describing their findings and the best material for a raincoat.
Thanks everyone,
Have a nice weekend!
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
Here we are at the end of another half-term. They say time flies when you're having fun.
We have spent the majority of our week finishing off tasks linked to our Scotland topic.
The class have glazed their clay houses and finished off their Katie Morag stories. We have read legends and myths about the Kelpies and Bonnie Prince Charlie. We have worked extremely hard at division via both sharing and grouping.
All in all, a very productive and busy final week.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Thanks
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
Thanks to everybody who has attended Parent's Evening this week and I'll see some of you next week too.
We have been continuing with our work on Katie Morag and have finished off an information text about her and have just started the planning process of a personalised version of a Katie Morag story.
During maths, we have been brushing up on division and also partitioning, whilst in Geography, the class continued to add more details to their maps.
The big highlight of the week was undoubtedly getting to paint our miniature Scottish houses and the children are very excited to bring them home.
Thanks everyone,
Have a good weekend!

Good afternoon everyone,
Yesterday afternoon, the class absolutely loved using clay to create miniature houses that we are going to bring together to make a seafront inspired by the lovely seaside towns of Portree and Tobermory on the Isles of Skye and Mull respectively. I have got lots of photos which will follow in the coming weeks which will show the step by step process that the class are taking. The next job is to add some colour to the sculptures.
In maths, we have been focused on fractions and the class have been amazing at finding halves, quarters and thirds of shapes and amounts. We have loved playing lots of maths games related to fractions and I am so impressed with the speed at which some of the class are able to half and double numbers!
Have a good weekend everyone,
Mr. H.
