Place value... Number bonds... Doubles and halves... Addition... Subtraction... Multiplication... Division... and Fractions... all played a part in tonight's Maths Evening. Miss Hill and Mrs Rinvolucri ran through the strategies that our children are shown in school and we had Amber, Eva and Grace showing the tables of parents how these, what look like complicated, strategies actually look like for [...]
Hope you can help… Class 3 liked testing different materials wrapped around Blue Groove’s take-away cups last week. We measured the temperature of the water at different times and found that the cup with fur round it was better than felt, foam or tin foil. We’ve planned an experiment to see if Mr Thomas’ drinking flask was any good. Have [...]
Everyone came to school in very sporty gear today ready to raise money for Sport Relief! We had footballers, a jockey, an alpine skier, some cheerleaders and a member of the All Blacks! All in aid of a very good cause!
Today was a very exciting day at school. Simon set up his fantastic Space Odyssey Dome in Georgeham Chapel and the whole school went on their very own Space mission during the day. We found out what it would like to be an astronaut and we decided that eating, drinking and even going to the toilet would be very tricky [...]
Today in science club we made balloon hovercrafts. Kieron and Luke saw on the blog that we had made these in the class 1/2 science club and asked if we could do it too, but they wanted to find ways to make them go even faster! We talked about what we could try to do to make them go faster.We [...]

Thanks very much to the Cooks for giving us some time today – the children LOVED seeing the farm and having the experience of seeing lambs being born. Even a year 6 boy said it was one of the best days of school here! […]
Over the last few weeks we have been learning all about how to keep safe on the internet and in 'cyber-space'! We have had lots of adventures with Hector and Lee & Kim. This morning Class 2 acted out their own version of the E-Safety story and the three versions are attached for you to see how great we are [...]
As part of our RE on Teachers and Leaders, we set-up an assault course on the MUGA. With our partner, (one of us was blindfolded), we had to lead one another through the assault course with only verbal instructions. It was good fun but also made us realise how difficult it was without sight and only relying on our friend to [...]
In science club we made catapults. We tried to see how we could adapt the catapult to make our missiles travel further. With a bit of practice, the missiles could also be made to land quite accurately on targets around the room. When we were exploring the catapults we found that the missile travels further with a longer [...]
