W/C 3rd October 2025

What a fantastic first week back after the half term! The children have returned full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to dive into our new learning.

In English, we’ve been exploring alliteration to make our poetry more powerful. The class had great fun describing the ingredients for their “Marvellous Medicines”. The creativity and humour in their writing have been brilliant to see.

In Maths, we completed our topic on addition and subtraction. Everyone has worked hard to apply their strategies and explain their reasoning. Next week, we’ll be revisiting these skills to make sure we have a really secure understanding before moving on to our next topic.

In Art, we’ve been adding watercolour to our Lowry-inspired sketches. The children carefully thought about colour schemes and how to show foreground, midground and background in their work — the results are looking fantastic!

In PE, we were excited to meet our new coach, Cricket Chris, who led us in a fun and active Cricket session. The children showed great teamwork and enthusiasm throughout.

In RE, we began learning about Psalms and what they can tell us about God. The children shared some really thoughtful ideas and enjoyed exploring how these special poems express different feelings and beliefs.

In Science, we investigated the different groups of flowers and plants. Everyone was fascinated to discover lots of interesting facts.

We’re  looking forward to next week, when we’ll be taking part in our Remembrance Day assembly on Tuesday and beginning to rehearse for our Christmas play!
