In the end of term confusion these Christmas animations weren’t made public. Apologies to Year 5 but, in the spirit of wearing Christmas t-shirts all year round, here they are at last. These were all made at home and, apart from a Star Wars-themed stop frame (well done Thomas!), all […]

Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. During the two Computing lessons after their recap on 2Animate Panther Class have created animations using Lego, and by drawing on whiteboards. The principals are “simple, small, still” and it’s great to see how they are improving.
Panther Class are going to be creating stop frame animations between now and Christmas. To get them back in the mindset of ‘Simple & Small’ (simple concept, small changes) they revisted 2Animate. Here’s how they did…
Today to mark Remembrance Day each class marked the occasion individually at 11am. In addition, for this afternoon’s whole school assembly, Miss Todd took Raven Class to the memorial in the Public Gardens and lead our daily virtual assembly from there. A wreath was laid, a minute’s silence held, and […]
Miss Todd: On Friday in assembly I had the pleasure of announcing the jaw dropping total of the fundraising from the Sponsored Walk. I am thrilled, humbled and stunned to share with you that we have raised £4825.65 with a number of families telling me they still have money to bring in. […]
Y5 are going to be learning about the Shang Dynasty this term, but first we’ve had a brief introduction to China to better understand its place in the world. As part of this we’ve made kites, learned about the complex form of Chinese script and painted out own names, and […]
On Friday, we completed our STEM Week with an exciting visit from Subject Revolution. KS1 and EYFS travelled around an amazing new world working together in practical maths challenges to help Prince Lunimo tidy up for the Queen. The children worked to pass through each maths challenge zone, undetected by the invading […]
Today the children were put into mixed-age groups named after scientists, and worked together on a range of STEM-related activities. During the course of the day the children learned about how to care for the chicks, created a house of cards, made pictures out of perfect squares, built towers from […]
Panther Class went on a walk up the High Street this morning to make observations on food retail outlets as part of STEM Week!
It started with Booky Breakfast – thank you to everyone who was able to join us! And then Toucan Class visited Halsead Library and WHSmith. They learnt all about what the library does and how we can use it. At WHSmith they spent their World Book Day tokens. They all […]
Jeudi dernier, l’année 5 a pris un petit-déjeuner français et a fait semblant de gérer nos propres restaurants. Les enfants ont dû utiliser un menu français pour rédiger les reçus et calculer le total de la facture, etc.
The children in Year 5 have created these Christmassy images for you using 2Paint-A-Picture in Purple Mash.
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. For the third week they have created drawing animations using the same principals as before: simple, small, still! It’s great to see again how they are improving.
Year 5 are creating stop frame animations. In the second week they worked with a variety of objects from around the classroom. You can see they are getting the hang of it!

The Year 5s have a Homework Club at lunchtime to provide a peaceful enviroment for those who wish to get their homework done without distraction.
In science this week Year 5 had to try and keep their ice pops* frozen for half an hour so they could eat them. Each group were given three ice pops to preserve, whilst three control pops sat and melted. Mostly the groups managed to keep things cool, but as […]
Building up to a final piece using techniques of their own chosing, in weeks two and three of their stop motion work Year 5 experimented with Lego and drawing to make short animations.
This week we were delighted to welcome poet Matt Abbott to school to write poetry with children across the school. On Wednesday he worked with Year 6 and they have written a collaborative poem which will soon be shared in video form and be put on display in the school. […]
Y5 have started creating stop motion animations. These were their first attempts, and I’m really pleased with how they kept their ideas simple and took their time to create some smooth movements. There are over 700 individual photos in this video. Next they will develop their skills to create more […]
At the beginning of their Ancient Greeks topic Year 5 created individual web pages to store their work, before learning about and painting plates in the style of the time. They tried using a different grip on their paintbrushes to help with precision. It wasn’t easy, but they took their […]
Panther Class have been updating and improving their non-chronological reports as they transfer them to Google Slides.
Well done to the High 5 netball team for successfully competing at the Level 1 tournament at Ramsey. And well done to all the cross country runners for competing in the Level 2 competition at Tabor Academy. Superb performances all round.
For Red Nose Day 2019 the children did funny things for money and came to school dressed in red! There was also a parent-led cake sale after school. You were all amazing! Sponsorship is still coming in (all back by Monday 1st April please!) so we’ll not have a total […]
In PSHE Panther Class are using toothpaste to demonstrate that it is hard to take unkind words back! You can’t get toothpaste back in a tube!
