Early Years Foundation Stage 

The children in Nursery have been very busy this term. As part of their topic, Growing, they have been exploring how plants develop by creating and caring for their own gardens. They have enjoyed watering their plants, observing changes over time, and even helping to cut the grass when needed.

Nursery have also been learning about oral hygiene and the importance of keeping their teeth clean. They explored how to brush their teeth correctly and discussed healthy habits that help to keep their teeth and gums strong and healthy.

The children in Reception have continued exploring their topic, On the Beach. They have been learning about rock pools, investigating the animals that live there and exploring what a rock pool habitat looks like.

In Mathematics, the children have been fishing for doubles, helping them to develop their understanding of number bonds and doubling. They have also been practising counting to 20, building their confidence and accuracy with numbers through a range of fun and engaging activities. The children have shown great enthusiasm and curiosity in their learning

Key Stage 1

Year 2 Swifts' Class assembly

Last week, Swifts welcomed their parents and carers to their ‘Belswains News Live’ assembly, where they proudly showcased the some of the fantastic work they have completed this year. The children took us on a journey through their learning, introducing the Magnificent Monarchs, sharing their beautifully crafted beach huts, and bringing their topic to life as a swarm of bees explained how they survive within our school habitat while collecting nectar from vibrant flowers. The children spoke clearly and confidently throughout, and it was a pleasure to see how much they enjoyed celebrating and sharing their achievements.

Year 3 are exploring 3D shapes!

This week, our Year 3 children have been busy exploring 3D shapes through hands-on learning. Using nets, the children carefully constructed a range of shapes including cuboids, and square based pyramid, bringing their mathematical understanding to life. As they built each model, they investigated key properties such as faces, edges, and vertices, developing their vocabulary and confidence in describing shapes.

Year 5 Allotment Visit 

Year 5 had a fantastic week filled with creativity, culture and hands‑on learning. They took part in an exciting Greek workshop where they tasted a variety of traditional Greek foods, designed and decorated their own vases inspired by ancient pottery, and threw themselves into a lively drama activity that involved inventing and presenting their own imaginative YouTube channels. The following week the class visited Nash Mills allotment, where they learnt about the many plants grown locally and the conditions they need to thrive. Each pupil returned home proudly carrying their own seeds to grow, ready to begin their gardening journey. 

Year 5 Bikeability 

Year 5 threw themselves into Bikeability with real enthusiasm, turning each session into a mix of fun, focus and impressive progress. Instructors praised the children for their excellent behaviour, positive attitudes and willingness to listen carefully. Most importantly, they developed valuable road safety skills, from signalling with confidence to navigating junctions with greater awareness. It was a brilliant week that left everyone feeling proud of how much they had learned and how responsibly they approached cycling.
