This Week in Year 1 – Curriculum Week, Creativity & Celebrations!
It’s been another exciting and busy week in Year 1 at Greenhill Academy, packed with creativity, learning, and special visitors!
Maths – Exploring 3D Shapes
In Maths, we have been learning all about 3D shapes. The children have been identifying and describing their properties—including the number of faces, edges, and vertices. We’ve been sorting and grouping shapes based on what they can do, such as rolling or stacking, and using real-life objects to help bring our learning to life.
๐ Try this at home: See how many 3D shapes your child can spot around the house! Can they name a sphere, cube, cone or cylinder?
Art – Inspired by Charles Demuth
As part of Curriculum Week, Year 1 have been exploring the work of Charles Demuth, a Precisionist painter from Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the USA. He is known for using straight lines and geometric shapes in his art.
We used rulers and shape templates to create our own fantastic pictures, and even made a Great Fire of London artwork in the style of Demuth. The children did an amazing job combining historical learning with artistic creativity—our classroom display looks fantastic!
๐จ Thank you for your support with Year 1’s incredible Art Gallery—it was wonderful to see so many families celebrating the children’s brilliant work!
RE – Special Books and Sacred Texts
In RE, we’ve been learning about special books and sacred texts. The children thought carefully about books that are important to them and explored texts that are sacred in different religions, such as the Bible, Qur’an, and Torah. They asked thoughtful questions and showed great respect while learning about different beliefs and traditions.
Exciting News – BAFTA Visit!
We had a very special visit from a team at BAFTA this week! The team came to Greenhill Academy to announce the winner of the BAFTA Film Competition – and we’re so proud to share that the winner was Maliha from Year 1!
๐ Well done, Maliha! What an amazing achievement!
A Big Thank You!
Thank you for your continued support with everything this week – from visiting our Art Gallery to your generous donations for the School Fair. The children also loved Non-Uniform Day and had a fantastic time celebrating together.

Class 7 are word millionaires! This year they have collectively read 1,018,084 words. We have loved reading this year!
This Week In Reception (WB 07.07.25)
Date: 10th Jul 2025 @ 3:49pm
This week in Reception, we’ve been diving deep into learning with lots of exciting activities across the curriculum!
In English, we explored the magical tale of The Singing Mermaid by Julia Donaldson. The children loved learning about the kind and talented mermaid and the sneaky Sam Sly! We used our phonics knowledge brilliantly to describe both characters, carefully segmenting words and using our sounds to write labels and simple sentences. It was wonderful to see the children applying their Phase 3 and 4 sounds with growing confidence!
In Maths, we focused on odd and even numbers. The children used practical resources to group and sort numbers, learning how to tell if a number is odd or even by seeing if it can be paired. Lots of great number talk and teamwork helped us consolidate this new concept.
This week was also Curriculum Week, and our theme was Under the Sea! The children have been busy creating some truly beautiful artwork, from colourful jellyfish to textured ocean scenes. We can’t wait for you to sea it all on display at our upcoming class gallery – the children are so proud of their creations and can’t wait to share them with you.
Well done to all our little learners for another fantastic week!
Date: 4th Jul 2025 @ 3:11pm
Class 9 have been fantastic this week! They have worked immensely hard and produced some fantastic pieces of learning in all subjects.
During English this week, the children have begun writing their newspaper report based on the Viking attack on Lindisfarne, the children have produced some exceptional introductions. – How amazing they were!
In maths the children have been learning about capacity, where they have measured and ordered capacity. They have also carried out an investigation based on capacity – Why not ask your child about their experience of this?
Lastly A Big Thank You to all the parents who attended the music festival, it was lovely to see you watch our performance. All the Year 4 children were amazing and represented Greenhill with great pride. Well done Year 4!!!
Have a lovely weekend,

๐ A Busy and Brilliant Week in Year 1! ๐
Year 1 have had a very busy and exciting week, full of hands-on learning, creativity, and lots of thoughtful discussions. Here's what we’ve been up to:
๐งฎ Maths – Volume and Capacity
In Maths, we’ve been learning about volume and capacity. The children had fun exploring the water area, comparing how much different containers could hold. We practised using words like full, empty, half full, and nearly full, and we worked together to make predictions and test them out. Lots of splashy fun with fantastic learning!
๐ English – Dragons, Fire Safety, and Fantastic Descriptions
In English, we read the story No Dragons for Tea, which helped us learn about fire safety in a fun and memorable way. The children created bright and bold fire safety posters to remind everyone what to do in an emergency.
We also wrote character descriptions of the dragon from the story. This week, we focused on using expanded noun phrases to add extra detail to our writing. We had “a large, friendly dragon with glittering green scales” and “a brave, flame-breathing dragon with golden eyes.” The children did a brilliant job using adjectives to make their writing come to life!
๐ Science – Marvellous Materials
In Science, we’ve continued learning about materials. We explored which materials would be best for different jobs – like building a house, making a raincoat, or creating a comfy teddy. The children thought carefully about the properties of materials, using words like strong, waterproof, and soft to explain their choices.
๐ RE – Special Books and the Qur’an
In RE, we have been learning about the Qur’an, and why it is a sacred text for Muslims. The children showed great curiosity and respect as we discussed how the Qur’an is treated with care and why it is so important to people of the Islamic faith. We also continue to enjoy sharing and reading some of our favourite books together as a class — story time is always a special part of our day.
๐พ PE – Tennis and Football Fun
In PE, we’ve been learning to play tennis, practising how to hit a target with the ball. The children are showing great hand–eye coordination and we’re almost ready for Wimbledon!
We also thoroughly enjoy Gary’s football sessions every Thursday – there’s lots of energy, skills practice, and smiling faces all around.
๐ถ Music – Rhythms and Songs with Mrs Lord
In Music, we played exciting rhythm games with Mrs Lord and sang some of our favourite songs as well as some new songs. Everyone enjoyed using their voices and keeping the beat together!
๐ญ Harmony Pledge and Class Assembly
This week, we learned about the Harmony pledge, focusing on the promise to “be a performer.” The children have been practising confidently for our upcoming class assembly, working hard on their lines, songs, and actions. We can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve prepared!
๐ Non-Uniform Day & Donations
We really enjoyed non-uniform day – thank you for all the generous donations of toys and chocolate!
Just a reminder that next week’s donations are bottles (e.g. shampoo, fizzy water, bubble bath). Your support is greatly appreciated!
โญ We’re so proud of all the effort, creativity, and kindness Year 1 have shown this week. Great job, everyone!
Have a restful weekend and we look forward to more fun and learning next week!
From Miss Savage, Miss Wilson, and Mrs McMahon ๐
This Week In Reception (WB 30.06.25)
Date: 3rd Jul 2025 @ 10:24am
What a fun and busy week we've had in Reception!
In English, we dived into the wonderful world of Commotion in the Ocean. The children loved listening to the rhyming words in the story and had great fun identifying the rhymes as we read together. We then used our phonics skills to write sentences more independently, describing the different sea creatures from the book. It was fantastic to see the children using their sounds so confidently and creatively in their writing.
In Maths, we explored grouping and sharing numbers equally. Using practical resources like counters and toys, the children worked together to make equal groups and started to understand the concept of sharing fairly. This hands-on learning really helped build their number sense and problem-solving skills.
In Understanding the World, we carried out a fun investigation into floating and sinking. The children made predictions about different objects and then tested them in water. There were lots of surprised faces and great discussions about why some objects float while others sink. It was a brilliant way to spark curiosity and develop early scientific thinking.
Well done to all our Reception learners for another fantastic week of exploring, learning, and growing!
Nursery Blog โ All Aboard the Train! ๐
Date: 3rd Jul 2025 @ 8:03am
Week Commencing 30/06/2025
This week in Nursery we’ve continued our exciting topic ‘Where in the World Do I Want to Go?’, with a focus on destinations we can travel to by train! Our story of the week was Maisy Goes on Holiday by Lucy Cousins– a lovely story that helped us explore holidays, travel, and adventure!
๐ Talking Trains and Trams
The children really enjoyed sharing their own experiences of riding trams and trains – many recognised familiar journeys and loved talking about where they’ve travelled with their families!
๐บ๏ธ Family Group Learning – Mapping Adventures
In our family groups, the children worked hard on giving meaning to their marks by creating maps of the local area and beyond! Each child created three locations on their map and used lines, circles and shapes to represent roads, buildings and landmarks. The children then shared their maps and explained where they’d like to go – fantastic imagination and language development on show!
๐ข Maths – Counting Bears
We’ve been strengthening our number recognition and 1:1 counting this week using our number bear cards. The children matched the correct number of bear counters to the numerals shown on the cards – they were so proud of their careful counting!
๐ฆ Moving Like Vehicles
In our physical development learning, we took our bodies outside and moved like different types of transport. The children showed brilliant coordination and spatial awareness as they moved under, over, around and through a fun obstacle course – zooming like cars, crawling like trains, and gliding like planes!
๐ผ๏ธ Communication and Language – Picture Talk
This week we introduced a picture of a train by the beach as our Pobble-style discussion image. The children observed carefully and used their imagination to talk about what they could see, where the train might be going, and what they might do if they were on that train. Wonderful speaking and listening all round!
โ๏ธ Teacher-Focused Activities
We’ve been working hard on our name writing this week – each child practiced writing their name on their own train sheet, developing both pencil control and confidence!
We also explored junk modelling again this week – this time to build our very own trains using boxes, tubes and bottle tops. The creativity was incredible!
๐ PSHE – The Tale of Baby Beetroot
In our PSHE learning we read The Tale of Baby Beetroot and talked about kindness – how we can be kind to others and what kindness looks like in our nursery. The children came up with some lovely ideas!
๐ค Phonics Focus – Sound of the Week: Jj
Our phonics learning this week focused on the sound ‘Jj’ – the children loved orally blending and identifying words like jam, jug, jeep and jet! They even had a go at forming the letter J with their fingers and in the air.
It’s been another fun and busy week of learning and exploring in Nursery – well done everyone! ๐๐

Year 1 Weekly Learning Update
This week in Year 1, we’ve had a fun-filled week packed with learning and new experiences!
In Maths, we’ve been learning all about money – recognising and ordering different coins and understanding their values.
In English, we read the story "No Dragons for Tea", which helped us learn all about fire safety. We linked this to our History learning, where we explored the important work of firefighters, comparing fire engines from the past and present, and learning how these everyday heroes help keep us safe.
As part of our PSHE learning, we’ve been thinking about our families – who is in them, and how they help keep us safe and cared for.
In RE, we’ve been learning about special texts and sacred texts, discovering how different religions have books that are important to them, and sharing our own favourite books too.
In Science, we’ve been exploring and describing the properties of a variety of materials – thinking about how things feel, look, and behave, and why certain materials are used for different purposes.
In Music, we learned an exciting song about a shark called Mark and we tapped out different rhythms. We’ve also been singing a fun firefighter song and a lively song about London Town.
We’ve also had lots of active fun this week! We enjoyed Gary's football session on Thursday, and in PE, we’ve been developing our skills in tennis.
A big achievement this week – we have learned to sign the entire alphabet in sign language! Well done, Year 1! What a brilliant week of learning – great job, everyone!
This Week In Reception (WB 23.06.25)
Date: 26th Jun 2025 @ 9:23am
This week in Reception, we’ve had a fin-tastic time exploring the wonders of the sea and diving deeper into our learning across the curriculum!
๐ฆ English
In English, we explored the non-fiction book My First Book of Sea Creatures. The children were fascinated by the incredible facts about life under the sea – from gigantic whales to wobbly jellyfish! Using our growing phonics knowledge, we had a go at writing our own facts about different sea creatures. It was wonderful to see the children applying their sounds to segment and spell words independently.
โ Maths
Our focus in maths was subtraction. We discovered that when we take away, our number gets smaller. The children enjoyed reading number sentences and using concrete resources (like toy dinosaurs!) to help them work out the answers. It was great to see the children physically taking objects away and counting what was left.
๐ Understanding the World (UTW)
We continued our topic on the sea, learning even more about the amazing animals that live beneath the waves. The children enjoyed asking questions, sharing what they already knew, and building on their knowledge with new facts. Our classroom is quickly becoming a mini ocean full of curious learners!
Well done, Reception – another fantastic week of learning and discovery!
Date: 25th Jun 2025 @ 9:00am
We have been really busy this week in Class 9, especially with assessment week. The children have been absolutely amazing and have shown their true resilience with this.
In maths we have been converting fractions into decimals - why not test your child’s knowledge of this at home?
In English, the children have been writing playscripts based on the book 'Arhtur and the Golden Rope' - How wonderful they all are!
In our topic, we are currently learning about the Viking invasion of Lindisfarne and what impact this had on Great Britain – Why not ask your child about this? I’m sure they will have lots to say!
Below are some pictures of our PSHE lesson, where the children have been learning about first aid, what it is, why it’s used and the importance of it.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you next week.

๐ค English – Writing Instructions (and Tasting Bread!)
This week, we stepped into the shoes of Thomas Farriner, the baker from Pudding Lane who (accidentally!) started the Great Fire of London. The children had a brilliant time learning how to write clear, step-by-step instructions for how to bake bread – just like Thomas would have done in his bakery. We even got to taste some freshly baked bread !The children used fantastic bossy verbs like “mix,” “knead,” and “bake” in their writing. Great job, Year 1 bakers!
โ Maths – Division with Arrays and Groups
In Maths, we began learning about division by using arrays and equal groups.
๐ฐ๏ธ Topic – Creating a Timeline of the Great Fire of London
Our history learning took us back to 1666, where we began exploring the events of the Great Fire of London. Together, we created a big class timeline, placing key events in the correct order. The children asked thoughtful questions like “Why did the fire spread so fast?” and “How did people put out fires without hoses?” – we can’t wait to find out more next week!
๐ RE – Thinking About Special Books
In RE, we’ve started a new topic all about sacred texts. This week, we discussed our favourite books and why they’re special to us. Some children chose adventure stories, while others talked about books that make them feel happy or calm. We made a lovely class floor book display of our chosen books – it was wonderful to see how much joy reading brings to everyone.
๐ Science – Investigating Materials
Our new science focus is on materials and their properties. The children explored a variety of everyday objects and sorted them based on whether they were hard, soft, bendy, waterproof, or absorbent. There was lots of predicting and testing, and we were very impressed by the scientific thinking happening all around the classroom!
That’s all for now – thank you for your continued support. Don’t forget to ask your child about what they’ve learned and maybe even try baking some bread at home together! ๐ฅ
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team
This Week In Reception (WB 16.06.25)
Date: 19th Jun 2025 @ 9:22am
In English, we have been reading the lovely story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. The children really enjoyed exploring the themes of kindness, sharing, and friendship. We used the story as inspiration to practise our descriptive writing. Using our phonics knowledge, we thought carefully about how to describe the Rainbow Fish, using words like shiny, sparkly, blue, kind, and brave. The children were brilliant at segmenting words to spell them, and many used their phonics mats to help with tricky sounds. Some even wrote full sentences using finger spaces and full stops – fantastic effort all round!
In Maths, our focus has been on addition. We introduced the idea that when we add numbers together, the total becomes bigger. The children used number sentences and selected matching Numicon pieces to build the sums practically. For example, when given “3 + 2”, they found the Numicon for 3 and 2, placed them together, and then worked out the total. This hands-on approach helped the children to see how numbers combine.
In Understanding the World, we’ve been diving under the sea! Our topic this week was all about the ocean and the incredible creatures that live there. The children were fascinated to learn about animals such as dolphins, sea turtles, jellyfish, clownfish, and even anglerfish! We watched short clips and looked at real photographs to understand more about these creatures – where they live, how they move, and what they eat.
It’s been wonderful to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about their learning this week. Well done, Reception – you’re becoming such curious and confident learners!
Have a restful weekend and we look forward to more adventures next week.

It has been a really exciting week in Year 5! We have been working so hard in preparing for our Shakespeare Festival. Thank you so much to everyone who has bought tickets, we really hope that you are as excited as we are for the performance. Please make sure that you are practice your lines and scenes at home with your children.
We were also joined by a visitor from 'Westend in Schools' who took us back in time to the Victorian period, where we had a brilliantly fascinating session learning about the Victorians through drama. The children had so much fun and learnt a lot about the different jobs that Victorian children would have, what the workhouses were like and what schools were like 150 years ago.
Next week, we will start our learning on Frankenstein which is a great story. Please make sure that you read this at home with your child over the weekend as a part of their home learning so that they are prepared to start our learning on the monster's story next week.

๐ Year 1 Weekly Blog – A Fiery Start to Our Learning! ๐ฅ
What an exciting week it’s been in Year 1!
This week, we had a very special visitor join us to launch our WOW starter for our new topic: The Great Fire of London! The children were thrilled to step into the past as we climbed aboard our very own Time Machine and travelled all the way back to the year 1666. ๐ฐ๏ธ
Once we arrived, the hall transformed into the bustling streets of old London. The children became townspeople and bravely recreated key scenes from the fire. We saw tiny bakers' shops, wooden houses, and brave efforts to stop the spreading flames – all brought to life through role play and storytelling. It was truly an immersive learning experience!
In English, we continued our learning about Vlad and the Great Fire of London. The children impressed us with their creativity, writing a page from a graphic novel showing Vlad’s adventures during the fire. They also worked hard to produce fact files about what London was like in 1666 – did you know the buildings were made of wood and built very close together?
In Maths, we’ve been busy exploring multiplication using groups and arrays. The children have been using objects and pictures to help them understand how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. They’ve loved the challenge and are getting really confident with their grouping skills!
In Science, we’ve been looking closely at everyday objects and thinking about the materials they are made from.
It’s been a brilliant start to our new topic and we can’t wait to see where our learning takes us next week. ๐
Have a lovely weekend!

Class 7 loved chosing a book today. The Harmony Trust Read Acheive Succeed event was a source of huge excitement. The children couldn't wait to get stuck into their books. 
This Week In Reception (WB 09.06.25)
Date: 12th Jun 2025 @ 9:16am
What a wonderful week we've had in Reception!
In English, we read the lovely story Fletcher and the Summer Show. The children really enjoyed learning about the characters—especially Fletcher the fox! We used our Phonics skills to describe Fletcher using some brilliant describing words. It was lovely to see the children sounding out and writing their ideas so confidently.
In Maths, we explored number bonds to 10. Using Numicon, we found lots of different ways to make 10 and then recorded our number sentences. The children were fantastic at working with their partners and explaining how they knew the numbers went together.
We also took some time this week to celebrate the special men in our lives as we prepared for Father’s Day. The children made beautiful, thoughtful cards and enjoyed sharing what makes their dads, grandads, and other family members so special.
As part of our Understanding the World, we began learning about the season of summer. We talked about how the weather changes, what we might wear, and the exciting activities we can enjoy during the sunny months.
Well done Reception – another brilliant week of learning, exploring, and growing together!
Nursery Blog โ All Aboard the Naughty Bus! ๐๐ 09.06.25
Date: 10th Jun 2025 @ 4:00pm
This week we have kicked off our new Summer 2 topic – Where in the world do I want to go? We began our journey close to home by exploring travel and transport, using the story Naughty Bus by Jan Oke as our focus text.
๐ Songs & Stories
In our family groups, we built a repertoire of well-loved travel songs including The Wheels on the Bus and London Bridge is Falling Down. We even travelled (in our imaginations!) to London, where we learnt about some of the city’s most famous landmarks. The children loved spotting Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye!
๐จ EAD – Drawing Landmarks
This week, we really challenged the children’s mark-making and drawing skills. Using images of famous London landmarks, the children were encouraged to draw with more detail and purpose. They carefully selected colours and created fantastic shapes to represent the buildings – what amazing artists we have in Nursery!
๐ต Pattern & Movement
As a class, we created our very own action song to help us learn about repeating patterns. Each child contributed a movement, and together we practiced remembering and repeating them – a fun and active way to learn!
๐ Father’s Day Creations
In our teacher-led activity, the children worked hard to create their Father’s Day gifts. They decorated paper ties and used their hands to create faces – with handprints painted in skin tones and black finger “hair”! Once put together, each child had made a special cartoon-style portrait for someone they love.
๐ค Phonics Focus – B is for...
Our sound of the week was B. The children did brilliantly thinking of words beginning with the ‘B’ sound – bus, balloon, bear and more! They are really starting to tune in to initial sounds in words.
๐ Think Equal – Working Together
This week’s PSHE focus was all about teamwork. The children worked in small groups to rip coloured paper and collaborate on a whole-class rainbow collage. It was wonderful to see everyone working together, communicating and creating something beautiful as a team.
We’ve had a brilliant start to our new topic and can’t wait to see where our next adventure takes us! ๐บ๏ธ๐๐
Date: 6th Jun 2025 @ 8:52am
This week, Year 1 have been learning about The Great Fire of London! We have enjoyed reading the story Vlad and The Great Fire of London, written by Kate Cunningham.We were particularly excited to hear that Samuel Pepys buried some very smelly cheese to save it from the fire! We have created graphic novels around this text, drawing our own pictures and writing speech bubbles. We then took our learning into provision where we created graphic novels of our own interests.
In Science, the children have been investigating materials and have enjoyed being "material detectives", discovering different materials around school.
In Maths we have been comparing numbers using greater than and less than symbols. We particularly loved our practical lesson, making number blocks and comparing two numbers.
This has been a short week but we've had a lot of fun and are ready to celebrate Eid!
This Week in Reception (WB 2.06.25)
Date: 5th Jun 2025 @ 2:05pm
Reception Class Blog – Celebrating Eid Together!
This week in Reception, we’ve been learning all about the story “The Most Amazing Eid” as we prepare to celebrate this special occasion. The children have been so enthusiastic and curious, and it has sparked lots of wonderful conversations and activities in class.
Inspired by the story, each child created their own Eid card to take home and give to their family. They carefully designed the front and thoughtfully wrote a message inside — practising their writing skills and showing lots of care and creativity.
We also spent time talking about our own family traditions. The children were excited to share what they’ll be doing in preparation for Eid — from helping at home, to choosing outfits, cooking special meals, and spending time with loved ones. It was lovely to hear about all the different ways our families celebrate.
As part of our learning, we explored why people send cards and what occasions they are used for. The children had lots of brilliant ideas, from birthdays and holidays to saying thank you or cheering someone up. They even had a go at making their own cards independently in the writing area, using all the materials with great enthusiasm.
It has been a joyful and thoughtful week in Reception, filled with learning, creativity, and kindness. We wish all of our families celebrating a very happy and peaceful Eid!
This week in Year 6 - WB 02.06.25
Date: 5th Jun 2025 @ 9:39am
This week in Year 6 we have been doing some creative writing, inspired by the short film 'Alma'. We have worked hard to include all our figurative language, including metaphors, similes and personifciation. The children have produced some fabulous wriitng and you can really see the progress that they have made this year.
In Maths this week we have been consolidating our learning of Division. The children have been practicing their short and long division in order to aid them when answering reasoning questions.
In Topic we have continued with our new topic 'Extreme Regions'. The children have found out what an extreme region is and have been able to explain where in the world we would find them. We have also been learning about the World Famous explorer, 'Ranulph Fiennes' and his adventures across the globe. Ask your child to tell you what they have learnt about him so far.
Date: 23rd May 2025 @ 11:37am
Class 7 ended their week of learning about 3D shapes by making them out of playdough. A fun way to end the learning and the half term.
