To start off our topic ‘Memory Box’ in Year 1, we were reflecting back on our time in Nursery and Reception. We decided to have a picnic, just like we did in Reception. We made healthy sandwiches to eat on our picnic. We followed our designs carefully. We then had a picnic and enjoyed sharing our favourite memories from the past.
In science this term we are carrying out various Investigations based around the science of sport. This week we looked at the conditions needed to grow the best turf for football pitches.
In groups we have taken a section turf and over the coming weeks we will have to take care of it and keep careful observations and record these. Eventually we will discuss our findings with the class.
Nursery and Reception would like to say a big thank you to Mr Ricketts and Mr Coley for our new sand and gravel areas in our outdoor environment. The children have really enjoyed exploring these new areas. Lots of imaginative play, communication and language skills, and problem solving have been shown through the children playing and exploring.
Take a look at some of the photos:
In our computing lesson today, children created a script which generated buttons that are able to draw a variety of shapes once clicked.

This week, parents and children took part in ‘Talking Tips’.
The program aims to build on skills regarding language, confidence and interaction for both adults and children. The fun filled sessions will run for six weeks and what a fabulous start we had!
Bloomsbury staff, who run the sessions, were amazed with the work that was achieved in such a short time.
Keep up the great work!
In science we are investigating habitats and food chains. A habitat is a natural environment where plants and animals live. It provides water, food and shelter for the living thing it supports.
We discussed habitats around the world and then investigated the micro-habitats in the school grounds.
We used pooters, magnifying glasses and identification sheets to discover the plants and animals all around us.

As the topic of Gods & Mortals is coming to an end, this week Y3 have looked at the print called Icarus by Henry Matisse. Matisse was a French artist known for his use of colour.
Icarus was the son of Daedalus who dared to fly too close to the sun on wings of feathers and wax. Icarus and Daedalus had been imprisoned by King Minos on Crete. Icarus attempted to use the wings to escape but unfortunately failed and plunged into the sea below.
Year 3 used a collage technique to recreate their own versions of Matisse’s famous print.
