Nine Acres Community Primary School

📚🎉 Congratulations to our Reading Raffle Winners this week! 🎉📚

We are delighted to celebrate our lucky winners as part of our exciting new ‘Cool Reads’ incentive this term. With the sunshine finally making an appearance, there’s no better time to grab a book, find a comfy spot and enjoy a great read! ☀️📖

💻 Year 4 have been busy developing their computing skills through data collection and logging!

Using built-in sensors, the children explored how sound and light levels vary across different areas of the school. They collected real-time data, compared their findings and discussed why the results were different in each location.

It was fantastic to see the children analysing data, asking thoughtful questions and using technology to investigate the world around them. 🌟

Last night, our Curriculum Leaders met with Governors to discuss their subject areas and answer a wide range of questions about teaching, learning and curriculum development across the school.

These valuable conversations help ensure that we continue to provide the highest quality education for all our pupils and support the excellent teaching and learning that takes place at Nine Acres every day.

Thank you to our dedicated staff and Governors for their commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring the very best outcomes for our children.

🏊‍♂️ Another brilliant swimming session for Bamburgh Class today! 🌟

🧬🔬 Year 6 Science (Evolution & Inheritance) lesson in full swing! 🔬🧬

Today, our Year 6 scientists followed in Charles Darwin’s footsteps as they investigated the evolution of bird beaks. 🐦

The children explored how different beak shapes have adapted over time to help birds survive in their environments, carrying out their own investigations and making links to natural selection and adaptation. It was fantastic to see such curiosity, teamwork and scientific thinking in action!

Well done, Year 6! 🌟

A fantastic morning of baking in Warwick Class! 🧑‍🍳🍞

The children practised reading measurements, estimating amounts, mixing and folding dough, and keeping their workspace clean and tidy. They were very proud to enjoy their delicious homemade rolls with lunch!

Don’t be surprised if lunch boxes come home a little fuller today – they’ve certainly eaten well! 😊

🍅 Warwick Class are getting ready to design their own tomato bread by exploring a variety of tasty toppings.

They were amazed by the delicious flavour of tomato bread and loved trying different combinations. Many are now feeling inspired to bake their own tomato bread at home! 🍞👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
