Year 1

Year one have been working hard to explore their senses as part of our 'Funny Bones' topic through poetry! They have been reading different sense poems and having a go at describimg different items found in the poems! They have also performed poems using the instruments they think best fit. They then write their own sense poem, well done Year 1!



In PE they have also been learning lots of new skills, partciularly throwing and catching and improving their aim.

Global perspectives

Children from Year R all the way up to Year 6 have been collaborating to create posters about the journey of a banana from the tree where it is grown, to our lunch boxes. We have been looking at the impact the different stages of the journey have on the world around us!

Year 6 shadow investigations

Year 6 have been learning about how light travels & how we see things. This week they were investigating reflective surfaces and how shadows are created. They made careful measurements in order to find out how the size of a shadow changes according to its distance from a light source.

Dirty Water

Year 4

We've had great fun in science! We have been mixing solids and separating them. We also used filter paper to separate solids from 'river' water.

Florence Nightingale visits Year 2

Florence Nightingale came to Year 2 and the children were able to ask her questions. They learnt about the key events in her life and what happened when she went to the Crimea.

Dragons invade Year 3!

Year 3 have been working hard designing then making dragons that move - using pneumatics. Some children used syringes and some balloons to make various wings, mouths or even shooting flames move!

We look forward to showing the school our dragons in the forthcoming Dragon Show on the morning of Friday 11th February. Year 3 parents are invited too.

Victorians Visit

Year 5 spent a fascinating morning at 'Search' in Gosport. 'Search' is run by the Hampshire museum service and provides opportunities for children to get hands on experiences with historical artefacts and, also, as you can see here, to dress up!
