In PSHE we have been finding out about being our best and talked today about our talents as well as recognising talents in other people. We mimed one of our talents for the rest of the class...take a look through our photos...can you guess what we're doing?

Thank you to everyone for your kind donations towards Red Nose Day 2022. 

Well what a day!

First of all, we arrived in class to discover our chairs had vanished and some sort of metal spirals had been left behind. We had to act as newspaper journalists to try to work out what had happened, including interviewing Mrs Sutton. 

Then we went to the hall where we met…

Ethos Council want to say a massive thank-you to everybody who was able to donate to our appeal for Ukrainian refugees, especially the children who have had to leave their homes. We were amazed by how many things were donated in less than 48 hours and want you to know that each and every item…

We have started a new story called The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and so far we are loving it! We have only read the first chapter but we have done lots of amazing partner work talking about the descriptions, looking for evidence and comparing the opening chapter to a poem. We can't wait to see what…

Our topic in PSHE this half-term is Valuing Differences. Today's lesson was all about respecting each other's thoughts and ideas. Our challenge was to work in small groups to design a brand new game, making sure we all respected one another by:

• listening to each other
• taking it in turns to…

It was a huge privilege today to be able to give over 75% of KS2 a reading certificate for achieving 25%, 50% or in some cases 75% of their termly target! We're really impressed with how you're all doing and love hearing all about the latest books you've read. Our photos show just some of those…

We are very very lucky to have two experts in our class who are happy to talk to us about the Islam faith and on Friday they brought in some special items to share with the class. Each week as we learn a new Bible story, our experts tell us how it compares to a similar story in the Quran and we…

Christmas came early for Ethos Council today as we had a very exciting parcel to unwrap. It was the Big Frieze by Emma Yarlett and as we unwrapped it, we quickly realised just how big the Big Frieze really is! Once we had unpackaged it our job was to decide where it should go, then we had the…

We love reading so much in our class that we have run out of bookshelves!! Mrs Quayle went shopping at the weekend and bought more shelves but they needed putting together so some children volunteered to stay in at lunchtime today to put them together. We love our new shelves and a massive thank…

As part of anti bullying week we had Andy Akers visit school today to show us some activities that can be played by athletes with disabilities. Then we were able to have a go for ourselves. The sports we played were goalball, boccia and kurling. We had great fun playing the sports and it also…

What a lot of fun we had designing our own model Sukkahs! We had to think really hard about how we could use natural materials and how we could create furniture and decorations. We decided that it must be fun building a real Sukkah and doing it would help you think carefully about the festival of…
