When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
Well done to all the children who took part in our Harvest Assemblies this week! We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who gave food supplies for our collection. These will be donated to our local food bank.

This week the children in Y2 have been exploring Autumn through art and poetry. We have learned a poem off by heart to share in our Harvest assembly and painted some colourful autumn leaves using the colour wheel to help us make exciting colour choices.
During our 'Let's explore' topic, the Reception class have been exploring how to make bricks. We watched a short film about brick making and had a go at making our own. We made some out of clay, some out of mud and some out of magic sand. The children had great fun creating the different mixtures. We later tested the bricks and found that the clay bricks were the strongest.
Year 3 had a brilliant day exploring what it would have been like to live in the Stone Age. Our 'Outback to Basics' workshop taught us all about how Stone Age people lived, hunted, built homes, made tools and entertained themselves. We even made our own arrowheads and oil lamps using the same techniques as Stone Age people would have!
Y5 had great fun in their drama workshop to learn more about the Shang Dynasty in ancient China. We learnt about social hierarchies, famous leaders and different jobs all through role play, improvisation and freeze frame.
Year 2 have been learning about adding numbers efficiently. This week we have been practicing adding by finding doubles and making a ten. We love using different kinds of manipulatives to help us really understand what is happening!
This week, Year 1 have been looking at maps. We learnt the directions North, South, East and West and directed our friends to find objects on a map. Then we had a go at making our own! Well done Year 1!
The Reception class have been thinking about cooperation. When we visited the forest school site, we thought about how we cooperate in our play. The children made sure that they included others in their games and worked together to create dens and camp fires.
In Geography this week Year 3 have been learning all about the differences between physical and human features. We worked in groups to sort each picture card and created a poster to display our understanding.
For RE in Year 4 we have been discovering what the 'Trinity' is and have designed our own trinity symbols. We can't wait to take these to Broseley Church when we visit on October 19th!
