What a fantastic final week of the half term we’ve had in Year 1!

We had an amazing trip to Gallery Oldham, where we took part in a fun and inspiring print workshop. The children really enjoyed getting creative – exploring different patterns in the galleries, making brilliant designs, and producing their very own prints. Everyone worked so hard and had such a great time!

Back in the classroom, we’ve been continuing our English work on the story "Handa’s Surprise." We’ve really enjoyed getting into role as Handa and imagining how she might be feeling. The children wrote some wonderful diary entries from Handa’s point of view – full of emotion and thoughtful reflections.

In Maths, we’ve been learning about position and direction, using our bodies and shapes to explore words like "left," "right," "forwards," and "turn." It’s been lots of fun using movement to help us understand these new concepts.

As part of our Topic, we’ve been comparing the capital of Kenya – Nairobi – with Oldham. We’ve been thinking carefully about what is the same and what is different, including buildings, transport, and landscapes. It’s been great to learn more about another part of the world.

In RE, we’ve been learning about special ceremonies that show belonging, such as Christenings and Aqiqah. The children asked thoughtful questions and enjoyed sharing what they already know about celebrations in their own families.

We hope everyone has a wonderful and restful half term break. Thank you for all your support this term – we look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Monday, 3rd June!

This Week In Reception (WB 19.05.25)

Date: 22nd May 2025 @ 9:15am

What a blooming brilliant week we've had in Reception!

In English, we’ve been diving into the fascinating life cycle of a sunflower through our focus text, Sunflower Life Cycle. The children were captivated as we explored each stage — from tiny seeds all the way to beautiful, blooming buds. Along the way, we learned some exciting new vocabulary, including seedling, germination, roots, shoots, and buds. The children used their growing phonics knowledge to label different stages of the cycle, even writing fantastic sentences to describe what happens at each point. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence blossoming as writers!

Over in Maths, we’ve been sorting and spotting odd and even numbers. The children have become quite the number detectives — identifying numerals and using their counting skills to decide if a number is odd or even. There’s been lots of hands-on fun with sorting games and plenty of practical activities to help embed this key concept.

Our Understanding the World sessions have kept us green-fingered this week too! We've been exploring how sunflowers grow, what they need to thrive. The children were fascinated to learn how water, sunlight, and soil help little seeds sprout into tall, golden sunflowers. We also took a creative turn and looked at the famous painting Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh. The children were inspired by his bold colours and expressive brushstrokes and set to work creating their own sunflower masterpieces — each one as unique and vibrant as they are!

It’s been a week full of curiosity, creativity, and growing knowledge — in every sense!

Year 1 weekly Blog WB 12/5/2025

Date: 15th May 2025 @ 2:02pm

What a busy and exciting week we've had in Year 1!

In English, we've been reading the lovely story Handa’s Surprise by Eileen Browne. The children absolutely loved following Handa’s journey and learning about all the delicious fruits she packed for her friend. Inspired by the story, we made our very own fruit salad – it was colourful, healthy, and most importantly, delicious! We then used our experiences to write a clear set of instructions for how to make it, using some fantastic imperative verbs like chop, mix, peel, and serve. Great job, everyone!

In Maths, we’ve been learning to tell the time to the hour and half hour. The children have been practising using analogue clocks and are becoming very confident at recognising when it’s half past two or three o’clock – time really does fly when you’re having fun!

Our Topic work has taken us on a journey to Kenya. We’ve been learning all about life in Kenya, including the weather, animals, school, and famous landmarks. The children worked hard to create their own Kenya factfiles, which we’ll soon be using to compare with life here in the United Kingdom. It’s been fascinating to explore the similarities and differences between the two countries!

In Science, we’ve been focusing on plants. We’ve been labelling the different parts of a plant, such as the roots, stem, leaves, and flower, and talking about what each part does to help the plant grow.

Finally, in Art, we’ve been learning some exciting printing techniques in preparation for our printing workshop at the library on Monday. The children have experimented with patterns and textures, and we can't wait to see what beautiful creations they'll come up with during the workshop.

This Week In Reception (WB 12.05.25)

Date: 15th May 2025 @ 9:10am

This week in Reception, we've had a wonderful time exploring the story Oliver's Vegetables as part of our English learning. The children enjoyed discovering the different vegetables Oliver tried throughout the week. We used this as a fantastic opportunity to learn and practise the days of the week, helping the children to sequence the story in the correct order.

Using their growing phonics knowledge, the children each chose their favourite vegetable from the story, drew a lovely picture of it, and had a go at labelling their drawing independently – we were so proud of their fantastic sounding out!

In Maths, our focus was on grouping and sharing. The children had fun using real-life experiences to support their learning, especially when they shared out snack equally among their friends. We even tackled some trickier problems together, thinking about what we could do if the number of snacks couldn’t be shared fairly – lots of brilliant ideas and reasoning were shared.

It’s been a busy, hands-on week full of thinking, talking, and teamwork. Well done, Reception – we’re so proud of you all!

w/c 15.05.25 This week in Year 2!

Date: 15th May 2025 @ 8:26am

It has been a busy few weeks in Year 2! We have visited Oldham library and gallery, travelled to Northmoor for an author visit with Beth Woolvin and performed our final year group assembly of the year.

This week, we have been learning about time in our Maths lessons. The children have been working hard to fully understand the terms: oclock, half past, quarter to and quarter past.

In English, we have read 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch' and have been practising using time conjunctions, imperative verbs and adjectives in preparation for writing a set up instructions next week.

We continue to learn about 'Healthy Lifestyles' in Science, this week focus on dental health. We also worked on your throwing and catching skills in PE, using chest, shoulder and bounce passes, and linked this to our previous Science work on exericse.

We hope you have a great weekend and cannot wait for another exciting week next week!

Nursery Blog – Life Cycle of a Chicken 🐣🐥

Date: 14th May 2025 @ 1:54pm

What an egg-citing week we’ve had in Nursery! This week, we’ve been learning all about the life cycle of a chicken – and we even had some very special visitors arrive in the classroom to help us!

🥚 Welcome to Our Nursery, Little Chicks!
On Monday, a mysterious delivery of eggs arrived in Nursery. The children were full of guesses about what might be inside – most thought it was chicks, but Mr Garth was sure it was dragons! By Wednesday, we were amazed to see our first few chicks hatching, and by Thursday, all of our new fluffy friends had arrived. The children were fascinated watching the chicks peck their way out, using brilliant vocabulary like egg, hatch, chick and hen.

🌱 Family Group Time
We built on our previous learning about butterflies and sunflowers to understand the chicken’s life cycle. The children confidently ordered the stages using play blocks, showing how much they’ve learned about growth and change.

🎨 Creative Learning
During our observational drawing activity, the children explored textures, shapes and colours to represent the chicks, giving meaning to their marks and using their senses to describe what they could see and feel.

🔢 Maths Focus
In maths, we practised tricky skills like one more and one less, using the leftover Easter chicks to help us count and visualise the changes. The children really impressed us with their focus and number language!

💪 Gross Motor Fun
We acted out each stage of the chicken’s life cycle using our bodies: curling into tiny eggs, stretching and wobbling like hatching chicks, flapping and pecking like fluffy chicks, and standing tall and scratching the ground like hens!

🏴‍☠️ Phonics Focus
This week, we became pirates and explored the sound Rr! The children had fun finding objects and words that begin with R, practising their sounds with enthusiasm.

💬 PSHE – Working Together
In our PSHE sessions, we read The Wall, a lovely story that helped us talk about differences in opinion and how we can work together to create something beautiful – even if we all have different ideas!

It’s been a week full of wonder, curiosity, and joyful learning – we’re so proud of how gently and kindly the children welcomed our new chick friends to Nursery! 🐣

16/05/2025 - This Week In Year 5

Date: 14th May 2025 @ 8:22am

This week, Year 5 have immersed themselves in the world of Victorian England. In English, they have been exploring Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, learning about the harsh realities of workhouse life and the struggles faced by children in the 19th century. These lessons will lead into next week’s exciting writing task: crafting persuasive letters to improve conditions in Victorian workhouses.

In Design and Technology, Year 5 have put their creativity to the test by making traditional Victorian rag rugs. Using scraps of fabric and learning traditional techniques, they discovered how families in the 19th century reused old materials to make practical and decorative items for the home.

It’s been a week full of history and creativity—and we can’t wait to see everyone’s persuasive letters next week!

Year 1 weekly Blog WB 5.5.2025

Date: 8th May 2025 @ 2:00pm

Week beginning: 5.5.2025

What a fun and fabulous week it’s been in Year 1! Here’s a peek at what we’ve been up to across our learning areas:

✏️ English

This week, we’ve been inspired by The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson. The children enjoyed reading about the lovable animals who aren’t quite as “ugly” as they seem! We used our imaginations to write acrostic poems about each of the five animals – the wildebeest, warthog, vulture, hyena, and marabou stork. The children chose fantastic describing words and had lots of fun performing their poems aloud!

➖ Maths

In Maths, we’ve been learning how to subtract using a range of tools and strategies. We used counting objects, pictures, and even number lines to help us “jump back” and find the difference. The children are becoming confident problem-solvers and really enjoyed using cubes and counters to act out the subtraction stories.

🌱 Science

We’ve been getting our hands dirty in Science this week – in the best way! We learned about where plants come from, explored what seeds look like, and even planted our own seeds. The class made careful observations and drawings of different types of seeds, and we’ll be watching closely over the next few weeks to see what grows. Fingers crossed for green shoots soon!

🌍 Topic – Geography

Our Topic work took us all the way to Africa as we began learning about the weather there. We compared African weather to what we experience here in the UK and discovered that some parts of Africa are very hot and dry, while others can be warm and rainy.

🕊️ RE

In RE, we explored the idea of symbols of belonging. The children thought about the groups they belong to—like families, schools, and clubs—and learned how different faiths use symbols to show belonging. We shared pictures and had some thoughtful discussions about what makes us feel included and connected.

We’re so proud of all the hard work the children are doing and can’t wait to see what next week brings!

Have a lovely weekend,
The Year 1 Team

This Week in Reception: Exploring Seeds, Doubles, and Phonics!

This week in Reception has been full of excitement and learning, with activities that sparked creativity and strengthened our understanding of key concepts!

English: "The Tiny Seed" Comes to Life
In English, we dove into the story of The Tiny Seed. The children loved exploring the journey of the tiny seed as it grows into a beautiful flower. To bring the story to life, we used our bodies to create different scenes from the story. This was a fantastic way for the children to express their understanding through movement and imagination.

After acting out the story, we used our phonics knowledge to label the pictures we had created. The children showed great confidence as they applied their letter sounds to the words, developing both their reading and writing skills in an engaging way. It's wonderful to see how far they’ve come with their phonics!

Maths: Exploring Doubles
In maths, we've been focusing on the concept of doubles. The children had a lot of fun recognising doubles through games and activities. Whether using objects or pictures, they were able to identify that doubles mean the same number added to itself. The hands-on approach helped them grasp the idea while having fun with their classmates!

Science: Exploring Seeds in Fruits
In science, we explored the different types of seeds found inside fruits. The children had the chance to identify and compare seeds in fruits such as apples, oranges, and cucumbers. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to learn about the life cycle of plants and how seeds grow into new plants. They were fascinated by how many different types of seeds they could find, and it sparked lots of curious questions!

This week has been full of learning, movement, and discovery, and we are so proud of how much the children have achieved! We look forward to even more fun and exploration next week!

This week in Pre-school...

Nursery Blog – Butterfly, Butterfly 🦋

This week in Nursery we have been inspired by the beautiful book Butterfly, Butterfly by Petr Horáček. The children have been learning all about growth, change, and the beauty of butterflies!

🎵 Family Group Time
We explored movement and music by listening to Fantasy in C by Georg Philipp Telemann. The children said, “It sounds like butterflies!” and created their own graceful butterfly dances to match the music.

🎨 Symmetry Art
Using their prior knowledge, the children helped Mr Garth finish his half-painted butterfly wings to make them symmetrical! They carefully matched colours and patterns to complete the designs.

🦋 Understanding the World
With the help of life cycle props, the children discussed each stage of a butterfly’s life. This was especially exciting as we’ve been observing real caterpillars in our classroom as they grow into butterflies!

🖌️ Teacher-Led Learning
We looked closely at different insects and used natural materials and paint to recreate them. The children were so thoughtful in their designs and loved getting creative with nature!

💬 PSHE
Our focus this week was on similarities, differences, and celebrating diversity. We talked about how we are all special and learned how to be kind and accepting of one another.

🔤 Phonics Focus
The sound of the week was U! We explored this through fun games, rhymes, and activities that helped the children listen for and say the sound clearly.

🧠 Think Equal
This week we practised speaking and listening as part of problem-solving. The children worked together to think of ideas and come up with plans to help their friends – showing brilliant teamwork!

We’ve had another exciting and busy week in Year 1, full of learning, exploring and discovering new things together. Here's a little peek at what we've been up to!

This week in English, we read the wonderful story Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett. We had so much fun following Sunny the meerkat on his travels away from his family. After listening carefully and talking about the story, the children had a go at retelling Sunny’s journey in their own words. We focused on using full sentences, time words like “first”, “next”, and “finally”, and remembered to use capital letters and full stops.

In Maths, we’ve been practising addition using a number line. We learned how to start at the first number and jump forward to add on. The children loved using their fingers and number lines to solve problems. Keep practising those number jumps at home.

This week in Topic, we looked at a real atlas to find some countries in Africa. The children found Kenya, Nigeria, and Egypt on the map, and we talked about what each country might be like. We also looked at where they are in the world compared to the UK. The children were fascinated and asked brilliant questions – we definitely have some budding geographers in Year 1!

Our new Science topic is all about plants! We went on a plant hunt around the school grounds to see what we could find. The children spotted flowers, trees, and even some herbs in our coutyard area. We talked about the different parts of a plant and what they need to grow. We can’t wait to plant our own seeds soon!

In RE, we continued thinking about the idea of belonging. We shared stories and talked about all the different groups we belong to – our families, our class, our school, and other special communities. The children shared thoughtful ideas about how it feels to belong and how we can help others feel included too

This Week In Reception (WB 28.04.25)

Date: 1st May 2025 @ 9:24am

This week in Reception, we’ve had a giant-sized adventure as we explored the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk! The children enjoyed retelling the story using props and puppets and used their growing phonics knowledge to describe both Jack and the Giant. We were so impressed with the fantastic adjectives they came up with – from “scared” and “brave” for Jack to “big” and “angry” for the Giant!

In Maths, we’ve been busy with numbers up to 20. The children practised putting numbers in the correct order and spotting when numbers were either out of sequence or even upside down! They showed great perseverance and teamwork while helping each other to correct mistakes and build confidence with number recognition.

Linking beautifully with our story, we also began learning about how plants grow. The children talked about what seeds need to thrive, such as water, sunlight, and soil. We’ve all planted our own beans and are now eagerly waiting to see if they grow into beanstalks as tall as Jack’s!

It’s been a fun and engaging week full of storytelling, number fun, and hands-on learning. We can’t wait to see what grows next – in the garden and in our learning!

This Week In Reception (WB 21.04.25)

Date: 24th Apr 2025 @ 11:09am

This week in Reception, we’ve been embracing all things springtime as part of our learning journey!

In English, we explored the beautiful story Fletcher and the Springtime Blossom. The children were fascinated by the changes that spring brings, especially the blossoming trees. We talked about what blossom is, and how trees begin to change as the weather gets warmer. The children then used their phonics knowledge brilliantly to describe a picture of a blossom tree – they came up with some fantastic descriptive words and sounded them out with increasing confidence!

In Maths, we’ve been going beyond 10 as we dive deeper into numbers. The children have been learning to recognise numerals and match them to quantities, using a range of resources and objects. We've had lots of fun counting, comparing groups and talking about which has more or fewer. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow with these larger numbers!

As part of our Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design, we’ve been learning more about the season of spring. We observed the blossom tree in our EYFS garden and talked about the signs of spring we could see all around us – from blooming flowers to buzzing bees. The children created some beautiful observational drawings of the blossom tree, really focusing on the colours, shapes and details.

It’s been a wonderful week of learning and discovery. We’re so proud of how engaged and curious the children have been – spring has definitely sprung in Reception!

Nursery Blog – The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛🦋

Date: 23rd Apr 2025 @ 1:06pm

This week in Nursery we have been enjoying the wonderful story The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. The children have been learning all about growth and change through this fun and familiar tale.

🌱 Family Group Time
We explored the story by recalling the main events and talking about how the caterpillar grows and changes. The children did a great job sequencing the story and using this to help understand real-life changes, like how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly!

🍎 Healthy Choices
Using what we already know, we talked about healthy and unhealthy foods. The children loved feeding our very hungry caterpillar only the healthy foods – and were quick to spot which treats he shouldn’t have too many of!

🧩 In Provision
We added special jigsaws showing different types of food to help children sort and identify healthy and unhealthy items. The story props were a big hit too! Children used leaves, an egg, a chrysalis and butterflies to act out the story using their imaginations.

🎨 Creative Learning
In our teacher-led activity, we had a go at symmetry painting! The children painted one side of a butterfly, folded it over, and were amazed to see their colourful symmetrical butterfly appear! They also practiced their fine motor skills by carefully placing coloured spots on butterfly wings and using number language to count and describe their designs.

🔤 Phonics Focus
Our sound of the week was K – the children explored this through rhymes, actions, and games, thinking of words beginning with ‘C’ and listening for the sound in stories.

💬 Think Equal
This week in our Think Equal sessions, we focused on speaking and listening. We encouraged the children to work together to come up with ideas to solve problems – learning that teamwork and talking things through helps us all feel heard and supported.

It’s been a fun-filled and thoughtful week in Nursery – well done everyone! 🐛🦋

This week in Class 9

Date: 4th Apr 2025 @ 11:13am

This week in Class 9, the children have been writing an explanation text, which highlights the importance of the Amazon rainforest, and it's benefits to society as a whole. The text has been informative and brilliant to read - why not discuss this with your child at home.

In maths this week the children have been learning about data, where they have created and interpreted bar and line graphs.

It was lovely to see so many parents attend our 'Open Classroom' this week. We hope you have enjoyed spending time with your child in the classroom and watching their mini performance.

Have a lovely holiday all!

This Week In Reception (WB 31.03.25)

Date: 4th Apr 2025 @ 9:57am

This week in Reception, we’ve been having an exciting and fun filled week.

In English, we explored the delightful story, We’re Going on an Egg Hunt. The children have been practicing retelling the story using key propositional language, such as "under," "behind," and "next to." They then used their creativity to draw pictures related to the story and applied their phonics knowledge to label their pictures, reinforcing both reading and writing skills.

In Maths, our focus has been on spatial reasoning, where the children used different shapes to create and explore various images. This activity helped to strengthen their understanding of shapes, position, and symmetry while developing their problem-solving skills.

In Understanding the World, we turned our attention to the beautiful daffodils that are blooming around us. The children carefully observed the flowers and created some wonderful observational art based on what they saw. We also learned about Easter and discussed why it is an important celebration for Christians. The children made Easter baskets, and to finish off the week with some fun, we had an egg hunt to celebrate!

It’s been a week filled with creativity, learning, and celebration. Have a lovely two weeks off, and we will see you after the holidays!

This week in Year 6...

Date: 29th Mar 2025 @ 8:56pm

This week, we’ve been working on lino printing and refugee poems.

We started by making our own lino tiles. Everyone carved pictures, then used ink to press them onto paper. The prints came out well, and we focused on creating bold, meaningful image. It was tricky at first, but we got the hang of it and had so much fun!

At the same time, we’ve been writing refugee poems. These poems helped us think about what it would be like to leave everything behind because of war or danger. We wrote about the feelings of loss, hope, and survival, and it was a really important way to understand the refugee experience.

This week has been full of learning and creativity, and we’re so proud of what we’ve all created.
