A massive well done to…
Holly Stevenson!
Holly recently took part in a gymnastics competition. It was only her second ever competition but she still managed to scoop four medals and five certificates. Well done, Holly. We’ll be looking out for you in the Olympics in a few years!
Master Chef
We made healthy fruit salads as part of our topic learning. The children took it in turns to wash, chop, slice and mix the fruit. We used our recipe to create a set of instructions in our literacy lesson.
Little Miss Paramedic
Doctor! Doctor!
A day in the life of a paramedic
Thank you to Richard (Indi’s dad) for talking to Year 1 and 2 about his job as a paramedic. We learned lots and were even able to try out some of the equipment!
A thank you from Mr Redfearn
This is a message to everyone in Year 4 for being so incredible over the past few days when inspectors have been in school. Our SEAL theme this week has been to ‘keep calm or help others to be calm’. The children in Year 4 have definitely helped me to keep calm and should be proud of how mature they have been whilst we have had visitors.
There have also been lots of fun and exciting learning this week with some children even being introduced to lowest common denominators in Maths (an objective for Year 6s!).

We were lucky enough to have a visitor on Friday. Richard Gale (Indi’s dad) is a paramedic and he came in to talk about his job. As you can see we had great fun using bandages, oxygen masks and stethoscopes! It looked like there had been an awful accident at one point but I can assure you that no-one was hurt at all!
Thank you Richard for taking the time to visit us.
Knock Knock!
This week, your child will be sketching some observational drawings. In keeping with our topic of ‘Our House’, they will have the opportunity to look at doors throughout British History as well as developing some essential skteching techniques along the way. Below, you will find doors from the Anglo-Saxon period right up to the Edwardian period. Later on the week, I will upload some of the children’s drawings to see how they compare alongside the real thing. Why not discuss with your child how the features change through the ages?
Tricky Words
This week, your child will start to bring some ‘Tricky Words’ home to learn. These are words that have have unusual or untaught phonemes and are ‘tricky’ to decode. Show your child the word and try to blend it as usual, discussing the letters that are ‘tricky’. For example, in the word ‘go’ the last letter does not represent the same sound as in the word dog. Keep looking at the words, use them in a sentence and point them out in their reading book. This week, the tricky words are ‘the‘ and ‘to‘.
Still measuring!
