A gentle reminder to parents and carers that the school car park is reserved for authorised staff and visitors who have received prior permission from Mrs Bourner. To help keep our pupils safe and ensure traffic moves smoothly during our busy drop-off and collection times, we kindly ask that you do not park in the school car park without permission. We really appreciate your cooperation and support in helping us maintain a safe and well-organised environment for everyone. Please make use of the kiss and drop facilities across the road. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Our learning this week: Monday 02/03/2026 - Friday 06/03/2026

English

In English, the children focused on the book The Ways of the Wolf. They learned about different aspects of wolves, including their habitat, what they eat, their appearance, and the hierarchy within a wolf pack. In grammar, they learnt about different verb tenses, including present, past and future tense, as well as progressive tenses in the past, present and future, and perfect tenses in the past, present and future. They also learned about homophones and how to use fronted adverbials in their writing.

Maths

Art

In Art, the children became familiar with the work of Philippe Faraut. They explored his sculptures and discussed his techniques as a sculptor. As part of their art project, they will eventually create their own clay wolves inspired by his work.

Guided Reading

In Guided Reading, the children learnt about coastlines, cliffs, wetlands and tsunamis, etc. They discussed why it is important to protect coastlines and how erosion can impact the land and surrounding habitats.

Science

In Science, the children learnt about the Moon, its shape and the different phases of the Moon. They discussed how the Moon can still be seen from Earth even though it is about 240,000 miles away. The children also learnt that the Moon does not produce its own light; its light comes from the Sun. In addition, they explored how a solar eclipse occurs when the new Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth.

Physical Education

This term in PE, the children are going to focus on Dance in preparation for the Dance Extravaganza as well as developing their volleyball skills.
