We’ve been researching healthy dips in DT. Today, we chopped, squashed, sprinkled, stirred, blended and tasted. The final reviews were great and lots said they’d like to make them again at home!

The parents eagerly gathered in school this morning, ready to join their Year 6 children for a fun and feathery sharing assembly. Today, they dove into the mysterious world of owl pellets! As the children carefully dissected the pellets, revealing tiny bones and skulls of mice and voles, the parents

In Year 5, we have been using resources to represent hundredths in different ways – with counters, Gattengo charts, as fractions and as decimals. We know that good mathematicians are flexible, so we try lots of different approaches. Article 29.

Today in year 3, we explored what happens if we put pieces of card between a magnet and some magnetic material. Would the magnet become weaker if we put more layers of card between? We were shocked that the magnet actually still picked up split pins with 10 layers of card!  

In year three maths, we’ve been exploring numbers up to 1000 this term. Over the last two days, we’ve learned that our knowledge on 0-1000 can help us in real life measuring. Today, we were making sensible predictions about the length of different items and measuring using a ruler to see how acc

This week the year 6 classes have been deep in a Times Table Rockstar battle! Class 6LA came out victorious but here are our 5 highest scoring rockstars from the competition with their prizes! Well done to everyone who took part.

Today, year three explored gravity through dropping water balloons and balls from varying heights. Our faces show that were surprised at what happened as it’s not what we expected!    

Our year 2 children really enjoyed their transition days. The whole school investigation they participated in made us all wonder which type of salt is best to pick up an ice cube with a piece of string?

Wednesday 9th July may have seemed like an ordinary day for most of us, but for a group of eight Year Two children – who had headed off to Gateshead College to take part in an all day robotics challenge – it was a day packed with teamwork, thinking skills and excitement. Using their incredible codin

Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed their most recent Design and Technology module to plan and create a new chair for baby bear. Today they had fun building and testing their chairs. They then evaluated their design to show how they could improve it.
