Loudmouth Workshop

Year 5 and 6 were invited to a workshop with Loudmouth today, a theatre in education company, who taught us all about how to stay safe online. We covered lots of different scenarios with the team who taught us about misinformation, disinformation and how to spot these online. We also went over what to do if we see something online that upsets us, and who we can discuss this with.

Year 2 Art

In Year 2, we have been learning all about The Great Fire of London that happened in 1666. We have really enjoyed learning about how the fire started, the damage it caused and how we know all about it!

In Art, we have been looking at the artist Lieve Verschuier who painted the Great Fire of London. We looked at his artwork and noticed that he uses tints and tones of the primary colours to make the fire look bright and stand out against the dark backgrounds.

We used the techniques of ‘dab’ and ‘rag dabs’ to create our own ‘The Great Fire of London’ paintings, ensuring that we created tints and tones.

   

 

Have a look at some of our masterpieces!

Y2 Telford Sings

Year 2 children had the opportunity to perform as part of a large choir in Telford Sings. They joined up with many local schools, primary and secondary, to sing in front of a live audience on the Charlton stage. They sang a range of songs including ‘Fly a Kite’ and ‘Can’t stop the feeling.’ Everyone had such a lovely time and the children thoroughly enjoyed the audience participation. We are all so proud of our Year 2 children especially as they were the youngest there!

Neurodiversity Celebration Week Y6

Neurodiversity Celebration Week aims to bring about worldwide neurodiversity acceptance, equality and inclusion in schools and workplaces. In Y6, we spoke about what people who have neurodiversity may find difficult. We also talked about how best to support children in our classroom. We discussed how all our brains are different and we all have strengths, things we find more difficult and preferences to learning.

Reception Trip Park Hall Farm

Reception had an unforgettable adventure at the farm today. From the moment we arrived, the children were very excited, and the animals didn’t disappoint.

🐑 Meeting the Sheep
The children loved getting up close to the sheep, learning about their woolly coats and watching them graze. There were lots of curious little hands eager to give them a gentle stroke.

🐴 A Visit with the Pony
Next, we met a friendly pony

who quickly became a class favourite. The children were fascinated by his shiny mane and enjoyed learning how ponies are cared for on the farm.

🐇 Saying Hello to the Rabbits
The rabbits were a huge hit too. Soft, fluffy, and incredibly cute, they had everyone smiling. The children were delighted to see them hopping around and nibbling on their snacks.

🐖 The Grand Pig Race Finale
We ended the day with the much‑anticipated pig race. The excitement was sky‑high as the pigs trotted down the track. In a thrilling finish, the green pig dashed ahead and claimed victory, much to the children’s delight.

It was a day full of learning, laughter, and memorable moments. Reception can’t wait for their next adventure!

France Residential Year 6

Year 6 have had a fantastic 4 days in France. We have had a very cultured visit, sight seeing around Amiens, Montdidier and Pierrefonds. The children have also been practicing their French skills, visiting shops and bakeries around the town. We were really impressed with how the children immersed themselves into the French culture – trying new things (including frog’s legs and snails) and expanding their language skills. A hugely enjoyable visit that we look forward to hosting again next year.

Healthy Snacks in Year 2.

As part of our PSHE unit ‘Healthy Me’, Year 2 have been looking at different ways to have a healthy body and mind. Today, we looked at how we can create healthy snacks and why they are important. We decided that they were important because they have lots of vitamins in them that help to keep us healthy and strong!

Our teachers asked us to create healthy snacks at home and bring them into school to try! It was wonderful to see the variety of snacks that were made! From fruit kebabs, fruit salad, blueberry oat cookies, raspberry and strawberry muffins, banana loaf to rice cakes with hummus and so much more!! They were delicious!!

Here are some pictures of us making our snacks and of course, tasting them!!

Year 1 Exotic Zoo Visit

As part of our ‘Paws, Claws and Whiskers’ topic we have been learning all about animal classification. We visited Exotic Zoo and had the opportunity to hold a mammal, bird, amphibian and reptile. The children loved the day and were surprised at how soft the skunk was!
