Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage and Key Stage One Key Stage One and Early Years have loved Inspire Week and have enjoyed mixing between the classes to enjoy learning with children from across the Early Years and KS1 classes. The Chicks, Robins, Puffins and Kingfishers all mixed to visit a different classroom each day and had a wonderful time learning about different people who help us in our community.  We enjoyed learning about fire fighters in the Chick's classroom (and even got sprayed with water!), the police force in the Robin's classroom with talking police-officers, we got creative learning about community in the Puffin's classroom and all about the ambulance service and about doctors and nurses in the Kingfisher classroom with lots of roleplay and art activities. The children's behaviour was exceptional and everyone enjoyed themselves! 

Lower Key Stage Two This week, in years 3 and 4, we have been partitioning numbers in maths and using this knowledge to cross boundaries of 10 and 100.  In science, we explored which materials were conductors and insulators and used our knowledge of how to make a simple circuit to investigate our predictions.  In art, we created our final cave art scenes using a mix of charcoal and chalk and tried to tell a story of a stone age hunt.  In history, we have been learning about the iron age and the important role hill forts played in protecting people from these new, stronger weapons.  

Upper Key Stage Two A whole term has passed already.  Upper Key Stage 2 have had a blast!  This week has been  " Inspire Week" and we are ending the term on a high.  The past weeks have already been full of creativity, reflection, and inspiration for Team Green. During Inspire Week, we came together to create a class Remembrance canvas, honouring those who sacrificed themselves for our country in past conflicts and more recent ones. The Woodpecker's class beautifully depicted a Spitfire soaring through the sky, spilling blood-red poppies, symbolising both bravery and loss.  At the same time, we have been equally creative,  exploring the intricate designs of William Morris, while also crafting suspense stories.  Our independent writing has been a true highlight, showcasing how the term’s Talk 4 Writing learning journey has pushed the children to excel in vocabulary, sentence structure, and building atmosphere in their writing. It has been wonderful to witness their growth as confident, expressive young writers.  Thank you to everyone who has supported with homework and home reading following our expectations. It really does make a difference to your children.

We wish you a happy and healthy half term break.
