⚖️ Getting to grips with mass! ⚖️

Year 3 have been diving into mass in maths! The children began by learning how to read weighing scales accurately by identifying the intervals between the numbers. They then put their estimation skills to the test, guessing the weight of various everyday items before using the scales to measure and record their actual mass. 🍎🥫

There was fantastic teamwork on display, and our estimation skills are getting sharper by the minute! 📈💪

🎒 Looking to the future... ✨

With the transition to secondary school just around the corner, Year 6 have been using our myHappymind sessions to focus on their mental wellbeing. 🧠💛

We’ve been learning all about how to set goals and why it's so good for our minds to have positive targets to work toward. It’s been wonderful to hear the children sharing their dreams, ambitions, and the steps they can take to achieve them as they prepare for their next big adventure! 🌟🚀

We are so proud of the mature, thoughtful attitude they are bringing to these sessions.

🌸 Little green fingers in the making! 🌿

Our Nursery sensory bin was transformed into a bustling gardening hub! 🧑‍🌾🌻

The children had a wonderful time using hands-on experiences to scoop, pour, and fill flower pots up. Activities like this are fantastic for developing early spatial awareness and fine motor skills, all while having heaps of fun! 👐✨

We might have some future gardeners on our hands! 🧤🌱

🌍 We are on the map! 🗺️

Year 2 have loved starting our new Geography topic! We’ve had a fantastic time exploring the different continents of the world and finding exactly where we live on the world map. 📍

To help us remember all of our new knowledge, the children really enjoyed creating their very own continent wheels to showcase what they have learned. 🎡✨

We definitely have some future explorers in the making! 🧭🎒

🧱 Mining Madness & The 3 Little Pigs! 🐷

Year 1 had a wonderful time when the outreach team from the Black Country Living Museum visited us for two fantastic workshops! ⛏️✨

We became local historians and learned all about mining in our local area, discovering the dangers the miners faced and the clever ways they stayed safe underground. 🔦👷‍♂️

Then, we linked our science and history learning to the story of the Three Little Pigs! We found out all about different materials and even got our hands messy using real clay to make our very own bricks. 🧱🐷

Great learning, everyone! You were absolute superstars. 🌟👏

🧵 Thread, steady, GO! 🧵

Year 2 have tackled a major Design and Technology milestone: mastering the tricky art of threading a needle! It required a huge amount of resilience and concentration, but every single one of us succeeded. We are so proud of their determination! 💪✨

After that, we put our steady hands to work practicing our very first running stitches. 🪡

We are so excited to put these fantastic new skills to the test in a few weeks, when we will be designing and sewing our very own felt pouches! Watch this space! 🎒🌟

🎶 Superhero status: ACHIEVED! 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

Year 1 turned our classroom into a symphony of musical melodies! We've been exploring all about pitch and put our skills to the test by playing some epic superhero music on the glockenspiels. 🌟🎵

Superb effort from our mini musicians! 🎵

Lessons beyond the classroom. 🏃‍♂️ Sports days teach teamwork, resilience and playing fair. These are the moments that build character! We don't want anyone to miss the fun.

Our Year 4 mathematicians have been hard at work! 🧠✨
In maths, the children have been learning all about how to classify 2D shapes. They’ve been investigating properties like parallel lines, counting sides, and determining whether shapes are regular or irregular.
We were incredibly impressed by the excellent mathematical vocabulary used throughout the lesson - lots of fantastic discussions going on! Well done, Year 4! 👏🔢
