Red Nose Day

Thank you for sending your children in today with crazy hair to celebrate Red Nose Day. Between the Infants and Juniors, we are pleased to announce that we have managed to raise £1,141.79 for Comic Relief.

Please see below for some of the fantastically creative efforts. Well done!

Parent Survey

We want to learn more about how we can help your school and LEO Academy Trust to improve parental engagement, so your time and honesty are much appreciated! This survey will ask questions about the communication between carers and school, confidence in the school’s strategy and other aspects.

If you would like to complete the survey, you can do so here.

Thank you for your time!

Year 1

Year One have had a wonderful week and they enjoyed playing out in the sunshine. The children have really enjoyed creating their non-fiction Tiger books and have all confidently written questions and lots of facts. 

In Maths, the children have been learning about tens and ones in teen numbers 10 plus 2 is 12, one ten and 5 ones is 15. We are very proud of them :) 

In Science, the children enjoyed learning about reptiles and were very interested in the variety of reptiles and how some lay eggs and some give birth to live young.

In History, the children continued their learning about explorers. They learnt that Matthew Henson an explorer from 100 years ago and Felicity Ashton a present explorer. They loved using our new press play headsets!

Year 2

This week, Year 2 became masters of the analogue clock! We took our learning outside and used giant chalked clocks in the playground to practice reading the time in 5-minute intervals – 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 minutes past each hour. 

In English, we turned into report detectives! Working in pairs, we carefully examined non-chronological reports and highlighted their key features. We’re becoming experts at recognising how these reports are structured and organised.

Our science lessons took us into the animal kingdom! We learned how to use classification keys to sort animals into their different classes. We answered questions about their characteristics and used the keys to identify different groups. 

Our geography skills took flight as we explored aerial photographs of London and a coastal town. We identified various human and physical features, from buildings and roads to rivers and beaches. We discussed how these features shape the landscapes we see.

The excitement continued with our Lego Spike project! The children put their coding skills to the test, programming the robot to act as an animal alarm. They successfully developed code that made a light flash when the colour detector sensed a creature of a specific colour. It was fantastic to see their problem-solving and programming abilities in action!

A busy and productive week for Year 2!
