Year 3 have had another busy and exciting week of learning!

In English, we have been developing our understanding of expanded noun phrases, prepositions and pronouns. These are all important skills that we will be using next week to create our own amazing character descriptions.

In Maths, our focus has been on place value. We have mastered partitioning numbers to 100 and are now ready to extend our learning to numbers beyond 100.

In Art, we were introduced to the famous artist Henri Matisse and explored his unique style of art. We looked closely at some of his work and began to identify the colours, shapes and techniques that make his artwork so distinctive.

It has been a fantastic week of learning, and we are looking forward to seeing what next week brings!

It has been another busy and exciting week in Year 4! We have been learning all about rainforests and using our growing topic knowledge to write some fantastic setting descriptions. The children have been using rich vocabulary, expanded noun phrases and their senses to bring the rainforest to life in their writing.

Our TT Rockstars have also been rocking this week! Both Year 4 classes have been leading the Battle of the Bands across Key Stage 2, showing fantastic enthusiasm and determination as they work hard to improve their times tables.

In RE, we have been exploring the topics of Creation and Covenant and expressing our understanding through art and drama. It has been wonderful to see the children sharing their ideas creatively and thoughtfully. It has certainly been a busy week, but what a great week of learning, creativity and teamwork it has been! 

It has been another busy and exciting week in Year 5! In RE, the children have explored the story of Moses, thinking carefully about his relationship with God and his important role in Scripture. Our Space topic has really taken off as we have been learning about the Space Race and researching the different planets in our Solar System. In Maths, we have been developing our understanding of place value, reading, writing and working with numbers up to one million. In English, the children have begun planning their own non-chronological reports and have been learning how to use relative clauses to add extra detail and interest to their writing. Another fantastic week of learning in Year 5!
