Today, we had a visit from Lucy from Nelson Street. We did lots of fun activities all to do with RE. We had to create the tallest wall with playdough, inspired by Jericho's wall! We then created our own prayer stars which were really tricky. With some perseverence, we managed to create them!
Sir David Attenborough Day, by Miss Healey
Date: 14th May 2026 @ 12:01pm
For Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday we had a day devoted to him and the wonderful things he has done for this world. We read a book all about climate change and learned of the dangers of forest fires in the Australian wild. We looked specifically at the risk to Koala's and what can be done for them. We looked at their life cycle (linking back to other Science learning this year) and then had a go at recreating some of the art work in the book.
Workshop with Lucy Brierly about Jesus' way of living, by Miss Healey
Date: 14th May 2026 @ 11:46am
We had a visit from Lucy this week! She came in to talk to us all about our new RE topic, and reminded us with the parable of the Good Samaritan, what would Jesus do? We looked at our day and made a clock with a paper plate, we wrote about what things we get up to day to day and how we could improve these with the guidance of Jesus. We then planned how we would tell a younger class of Year 1 children what we had learnt this day.
RHE: Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, by Mrs Perry
Date: 13th May 2026 @ 3:58pm
The session began in the hall, where the children had plenty of space to move freely as they explored the different ways their bodies can move. It started with an imaginative story about Freddy Teddy and Mollie the Cat going on a morning walk, during which the children acted out movements such as stretching, walking, jumping, and bending. This playful introduction helped them become more aware of their physical abilities in an engaging and enjoyable way. As the session continued, the children were encouraged to reflect on how special and unique their bodies are, recognising them as wonderful, God-given gifts.
Sir David Attenborough 100th birthday celebrations, by Mrs Williams
Date: 11th May 2026 @ 3:42pm
On Friday, we celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. We learned about who he is and all the wonderful things he has done to help save our planet and teach people how important it is to care for the Earth. We linked our learning to God’s creation, remembering that God created humans on Day 6 to look after and care for His wonderful world. Our learning also linked to the book Duffy's Great Escape, which tells the story of a sea turtle who ate a plastic bag in the ocean. Our classroom was transformed into an ocean and beach filled with rubbish that had been thrown into the sea. We created sea turtles using 2D and 3D shapes and went outside to learn about the life cycle of a sea turtle. We have all made a pledge to help save sea turtles and look after our planet.
Sir David Attenborough Day!, by Miss Hirst
Date: 8th May 2026 @ 3:18pm
Today we celebrated Sir David Attenborough's 100th Birthday! We started off with an assembly and then read a story 'Nelson's Dangerous Dive'. The story that year 4 read was about a whale and told us about the real life issues of ghost fishing nets! We spoke about these issues and looked at how the whale was feeling when he was trapped and when he was freed. We then completed some exciting activities linked to our whale story. We researched whale facts and created a fact file. We answered questions such as 'what do they eat?, how big do they grow?, how much do they weigh?, what is the lifespan of whales?. We then created some amazing documentaries of our own on imovie and created a voice over for one of the whale videos from one of David Attenborough's documentaries! We also created some lovely water-colour paintings today by painting one side of a whale. We also listened to the picture news live assembly celebrating Sir David Attenborough's birthday. We learnt lots today! Well done 4H!

In the afternoon, we had our session with a rapper! Touchstones brought a painting by Lowry and we had to create a character based on this. We then created our own raps about our characters. We had such a lovely day and cannot wait to see our linking partners again!

Outdoor Science- April 2026, by Mrs Cavill
Date: 24th Apr 2026 @ 3:51pm
This term we are looking at Plants in our Science unit. We began, this week, by carefully observing and drawing the flowering plants in our school grounds.A few weeks ago we took delivery of some very tiny larvae, caterpillars. We have watched them eat, get bigger and fatter and then create a chrysalis. This week some of the chrysalis, "hatched" and beautiful butterflies emerged. We released them in the school gounds so they could enjoy freedom surrounded by flowers. Some Year 1 children helped us release the butterflies to the wild.
