A mysterious, terrible crime scene! ❌

8th May 2025A Aldcroft

Class 2 were absolutely flabbergasted to find an awful crime had been committed in their classroom! Someone had trashed the class AND stole one of our precious items!!

After we found the awful crime scene we decided to make some wanted posters in the search of this evil pirate, making sure he can’t commit anymore terrible crimes!

Our Bean Diary

2nd May 2025Chloe Smith

This week we have been learning all about non-fiction texts. We looked at what non-fiction means and features of a non-fiction text. We then explored the book ‘My Bean Diary’ which shows us how broad beans grow from a tiny bean into a plant. We therefore thought it was only right we planted our own beans so that we could watch them grow. We talked about what our beans need to grow and made sure we provided these so the bean could grow. We are so excited to see how they change over the next few weeks!!

Brilliant Broad Beans!

2nd May 2025A Wilson

This week, Class 5 have been reading the non-fiction book called ‘Broad Bean’ and they planted their own broad beans after gaining inspiration from the book! We are so excited to see them grow.

In Extended Writing, we wrote instructions to help other people plant one, too!

We were superb at remembering to…
⭐️ Use bullet points for our list
⭐️ Number our steps
⭐️ Include time connectives
⭐️ Use imperative verbs

We even wrote a top tip!

Pirates ‍☠️

30th April 2025A Aldcroft

This week we found a mysterious treasure chest in our classroom. Once we had opened it we found lots of amazing items, we think a pirate must have left it in our classroom! But why? We then realised we don’t actually know much about pirates and we want to learn more! So we came up with our own pirate questions which we are going to research and become pirate experts!

Year 1 Easter Evening

8th April 2025Chloe Smith

This week Year 1 had their Easter evening, where we came back to school with our adults to join in with some wonderful Easter activities. We had so much fun spending time with our adults and doing things like colouring, painting, Easter basket making and even making crispy cakes… which was one of our favourites!!

Stop, Look and Listen!

7th April 2025Chloe Smith

In PSHE, class 4 have been talking about road safety. We talked about why it is important to be safe near roads and how we can do this. We learnt that when we come to a road, to cross safely we need to;
✋ Stop
Look
Listen
Think
And even had a go at doing this with a road in our classroom!!

Spring Growth

3rd April 2025A Aldcroft

This week we have been learning all about spring and growth! We observed the weather outside and looked at photos of us from winter. What has changed? We then planted sunflower seeds and wrote some fantastic instructions on planting a seed.

“It wouldn’t grow in spring because it’s icy and not loads of sunshine.” Leo

“We have to remember to water it because it won’t survive or grow all beautiful” Holly

“When it was winter I wore a hat to keep my head warm but I don’t now because it’s hot.” George

Spray it! Hit it! Snip its string!

3rd April 2025A Wilson

This week, we continued our work on Wriggly Squiggly! We focused on punctuation and practised our use of capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. We also learnt some new vocabulary such as ‘abseiled’! We added the ‘ed’ suffix to verbs from the book in preparation for our retell of the story. Take a look at our brilliant retells of Wriggly Squiggly below!
