As Year 6 complete their electricity learning, children investigated voltage. Working in small groups, children had to create a range of electrical circuits with different components such as bulbs. In their groups, children had to predict what would happen in each circuit as the voltage. The class then wrote up their results and conclusions.
Thank you to all the parents who came to join us in Class 2 and across key stage 1 for our ‘Stay and Read’. It was wonderful to see all the children enjoying and celebrating reading!
Today the police visited Early Years! We learnt about the job that they did, how they help people, what vehicles they use and looked at the inform. We even had a chance to go into the police van which was great fun. Some of us even pressed the 999 button!
Year 2 have been busy doing some fabulous learning this term!
Computing: In computing, we’ve been learning about IT in the world around us.
Art: We are using shape and colour to create work inspired by Clarice Cliff.
Maths: We’ve been working systematically to investigate 3 number calculations in maths.
Geography: We are training to become weather reporters in Geography.
Reception are learning all about ingredients. We made some Christmas biscuits using different ingredients. We talked about weighing them before we mixed. They tasted delicious!
Pupils are enjoying such creative play and outdoor activities. They are developing their balance skills whilst walking on barrels! Preparing for Using tyres to create an obstacle course and developing their den space. Spring planting daffodil bulbs and demonstrated teamwork in building a walking trail. It’s lovely to see the children from all year groups working together.
Wearing wellies allowed them to access the play area more effectively, broadening opportunities for outdoor learning. These activities provided valuable hands-on experience while enhancing the school grounds for future use.
What a wonderful time enjoyed by all!
This week Year 6 participated in their Cross Teach Christmas Experience. Children visited three different tasks to learn about the Christian Christmas Story. Once children had visited each zone, they were able to support Joseph in making a decision about supporting his family.
In RE Trekkers, we have learnt about Adam and Eve and their beautiful garden with apple trees. We discovered that they ate an apple when they shouldn’t have, and discussed why we mustn’t eat food without asking — to keep us safe.
We looked at a picture of a tree with apples and baubles, and realised we couldn’t have a real apple tree indoors. That’s why we decorate trees with baubles! Together we built our own tree — putting the base on like a trunk, fluffing the branches, and decorating with baubles, lights, and other decorations.
Southwold Football team demonstrated excellent skill, perseverance, and cooperation throughout the competition. The pupils achieved good results and maintained a positive attitude throughout. We are so pleased with their performance and teamwork during this event. Well done players!
Congratulations to our TTRS Times Table winners from Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. These pupils have demonstrated excellent progress in their mathematical skills through dedicated practice and commitment. Their achievements reflect the hard work they have put into mastering their multiplication tables.
Well done to all participants for their continued effort in developing these fundamental math skills.
We had a great time in Forest School. We looked for fairies and counted how many we found. We then enjoyed delicious hot chocolate to warm us up.
This week in Reception, we have been exploring circles and triangles. We went on a Circle Hunt around the classroom and the children were fantastic detectives—looking high and low to find as many circular objects as they could. Once an object was found, children worked together to record it on a tally chart. This helped us practise counting and recording. What fun we had!
Trekkers have been exploring the theme of families. We’ve talked about our homes and the actied out family roles using the different places around our room as a ‘stage’ and building houses for our families. Through this, we’ve been discovering what important features homes need.
We’ve also been discovering the season of autumn! The children explored colourful leaves and even turned it into a dinosaur adventure. They hid dinosaurs among the leaves and learned a new word—camouflage! To make it even more exciting, the Trekkers took their own photos of the dinosaurs hiding in the leaves.
Our amazing Year 5/6 football team shone at the Nottingham School competition on Monday! They looked fantastic in their new kits and showed incredible skills, perseverance, and teamwork throughout the tournament. Not even the rain and cold could dampen their determination! So proud of how they represented our school with such heart and effort. Special thanks to Mr. White and Mr. Williams for their dedicated coaching!
Reception had great fun collecting leaves and making their own picture. They talked about the different shape leaves and the different colours. A great activity to take learning outdoors and developing vocabulary.
The Year 2s love PE – look how fun it is!
Year 3 really enjoyed their first Forest School session! They used their 5 senses to find objects to match the things in Ms Turner-Jones’s tray. They enjoyed walking on the slack line, hunting for bugs and being outdoor explorers. Finishing off with toasted apples on the campfire dipped in cinnamon sugar.
Our foodies enjoyed some delicious baked beans with their dinner. Every bean-lover got a special sticker for joining in the fun! It’s amazing how something as simple as beans can bring such big smiles to their faces. Who knew nutrition could be this exciting? 🌟
We’re loving the Big Bean Boost experience! 😊
Our pupils shone bright today in our Black History Month celebration! 🌟
From a powerful Rosa Parks drama to joyful singing of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”, our classrooms were filled with courage, music, and hope. 🎭🎵
Inspired by Manjit Shaota’s poetry, our young poets shared heartfelt words of unity and understanding. 📝
We’re so proud of our amazing pupils — and thank you to Mr Harvey and the No Outsiders Leadership Team for making this celebration of history and culture so special. ❤️
In assembly, children explored the power of positive thinking and learned that it’s perfectly okay to share their feelings. Our amazing children showed such empathy and understanding, reminding us that kindness starts with being kind to ourselves. 💝
Remember, just like we exercise our bodies, taking care of our minds is a super important part of staying healthy! 🌈 Ask your child about their favourite activity from today – their enthusiasm might just brighten your day too! ⭐
