Year 2 have been getting hands on in maths, investigating how polygons can be joined and folded to form 3D shapes.

The children demonstrated a fantastic understanding of the properties of shapes alongside excellent problem-solving skills, while also continuing to develop their fine motor skills. Well done, Year 2! 👏⭐

Year 6 have been stepping into the role of journalists, creating newspaper reports based on a significant event from their class book 'Letters from the Lighthouse'. 📖✍️

They have researched the event, interviewed eyewitnesses, and carefully written and published their final reports - bringing history and storytelling together in a creative and engaging way. 🕯️🗞️

A brilliant opportunity to develop writing skills and attention to detail. Well done, Year 6! 👏🌟

Our Nursery children have been busy exploring colour through a wonderful sensory activity! Using paint sealed inside a poly pocket, the children mixed and swirled the colours together, watching the beautiful patterns and new shades appear before their eyes. ✨🖌️

Activities like this help to develop creativity, curiosity and self-expression as part of the EYFS area of learning: Expressive Arts and Design. 🌟

Year 1 have been learning all about plants this half term. 🌱

Here they are exploring the different parts of a flowering plant. Mrs Bacon kindly brought in some beautiful flowers for the children to carefully observe before they created their own giant flower models and labelled all of the different parts. 🌸✏️

A fantastic hands-on science lesson full of curiosity and creativity! 🌿😊

We are incredibly proud that some of our children’s work has been selected to be included in The Hereford Gospels for Today project at Hereford Cathedral.

Children in Years 2, 4 and 6 created beautiful pages inspired by the original Hereford Gospels. Their work included illuminated letters, intricate carpet pages and poetry inspired by our school Bible quote:

“Let your light shine” - Matthew 5:16 🌟

The project celebrates faith, creativity and storytelling, inspired by one of the cathedral’s greatest treasures, and invites contributions from schools, churches and communities across the diocese. The completed book will also be displayed around the diocese for people to enjoy and view.
