The children especially loved visiting Blue Planet today where they carried out lots of challenges with their buddies in Year 4.
During Science Week, Puffin class explored volcanos and oceans. We discussed how to keep our oceans clean and how we can protect our planet. The children made ‘oceans in a bottle’ using oil, water, glitter and sand. The children also built their own volcano and experimented with different solutions to produce an effective eruption!
Puffin Class were visited by a palaeontologist called James this week. Together we explored a variety of fossils and discovered: a dinosaur egg, a Stegosaurus’ tail spike, an Allosaurus’ claw, ammonites and much, much more! We learnt that a T-Rex footprint is big enough to squish 3 children! James brought two special dinosaur guests with […]

1Y had a fantastic trip to the Horton Kirby Wide Horizons Centre. The children had a hands-on day learning all about how humans, animals and plants adapt to seasonal changes. The children loved exploring the woods where they made birds’ nests and foraged for chestnuts.
We love exploring the outdoors! This week we went to Hyde Park to discover all the different plants, we even go to make our own plant pots and plant edible plants!
5M had a fantastic time at the Climbing Wall in Sutcliffe Park on Tuesday. Our Science topic this term is Forces so we were focusing on how Gravity is always acting as a force against us.

This week Year 1 took part in a road safety workshop, as part of our Safety topic in Humanities. The children learned about how to cross the road safely and how to stay safe when travelling in a car. They were able to take part in some role play activities which they really enjoyed.
This week Year 1 have been learning all about place value. We have been comparing two digit numbers by identifying the tens and the ones in numbers.
This afternoon, 6A began researching their own 20th Century figure, who have brought around change. We had lots of different figures, including Emmeline Pankhurst, Malcom X, Tim Berners Lee, Princess Diana and Michael Jordan. They will continue researching their figures and how they have helped shaped society today, before creating their own presentation.
World Book Day is on Thursday 8th March; this year, our chosen book is Blue Planet II. With Blue Planet II being such a fantastic series and an incredible learning opportunity, we thought it would be a great idea to mix things up and take full advantage of such an amazing book being published about […]
As part of our new science topic ‘Living Things and their Habitats’, we spent an exciting, if rather cold, afternoon in the Linnaeus garden looking at what we could find. We found over 20 different living things! Now we just have to classify them!
Year 2 enjoyed their music lesson today where they got to play with a variety of instruments from Africa!
To launch our new book, Billy’s Beetle, Year 1 went on a bug hunt in our beautiful Linnaeus garden. Working together, we eventually tracked down our missing beetle!

Year 2 have enjoyed painting TingaTinga art inspired by the artist Edward TingaTinga. We used different colours, a variety of African animals and simple patterns to create our pieces of work. It was a lot of fun!

Children worked along side Mr Parry last year to create a 3D printed controller as a result of our project with Ultimaker (yes, a working controller). Our original proposal won us the 3D printer and the product came to fruition through determination, trial and error, and hard work from Mr Parry and Sherington children. A […]
Year 3 have enjoyed their composition work in Music this morning. They are learning to read and write music notation and had a go at playing their compositions on glockenspiels.
