We wanted to help Mr and Mrs Grinling to stop the seagulls eating their lunch. We investigated how we could use pulley systems to carry the basket of food. Year 1 had one type of material whereas Year 2 had different materials to see which one was the best for the different types of spools.

We have been learning about the Great Fire of London this half term. The children had a home project to create their own Tudor house. Thank you to all the parents/ carers who helped to create these amazing houses! The children were very excited to watch what would’ve happened in 1666!

3 months ago Posted on 13th Feb 2025 by Katy Styles Internet Safety Day 2025 – KS1 On Tuesday, we celebrated Internet Safety Day. In KS1, we learnt about what personal information is and then sorted different pieces of information into whether they were personal to us or not. We also talked about how sometimes people can play tricks on us online and this is called a ‘scam’. We discussed who our trusted adults are, and how we need to talk to them if anything happens online which we are unsure about. The children listened to an online safety story about Samira and thought about how she would be feeling at different points in the story.

3 months ago Posted on 23rd Jan 2025 by Katy Styles Class 3 Tennis Taster Session Class 3 had a fun tennis taster session today delivered by the coaches at High Ercall Tennis Club. Today, the children were introduced to the basics of tennis, starting with fundamental ball control activities designed to build their confidence and coordination. They also bounced the ball gently with a racket ensuring they were holding the racket correctly. These activities will not only help improve their hand-eye coordination but also encourage them to stay active and enjoy trying something new in a supportive and enjoyable environment. Class 3 had an enjoyable session 🙂
