Year 5 Science: Sparking Ideas with Switch Making.

This week in Year 5 Science, we continued exploring electricity by building circuits and making our own switches. Using card, split pins, bulldog clips and paper clips, the children created push, toggle, slide and selector switches, showing great creativity and problem solving throughout.

Year 5 Engineers: Cuboid Drawing on Isometric Dots.

Today in Class AL, Year 5 used multi-blocks to build cuboids before practising technical drawing on isometric dot paper. Using rulers, we carefully constructed accurate cuboids and calculated their volume.

       

     

Year 5 Science Focus: Understanding Electrical Symbols.

This week year 5 explored how electrical circuits are represented using symbols. These symbols are a simple way to show components like batteries, bulbs, and switches in a diagram. Learning these symbols helps us read and draw circuits accurately, just like scientists and engineers do. Next, we’ll use these symbols to draw and make our own circuit.

Class AL: Perimeter Surveyors

In Maths, Class AL used trundle wheels to measure perimeters inside and outside the school, taking turns to steer, count clicks and record the distances. The children really enjoyed working together and seeing how Maths appears in the real world! 

Wonderful World of Music!

We all enjoyed a fabulous concert yesterday courtesy of County Music  Service (CMS).

Our Nursery can take children from the beginning of the term following their third birthday.   Children may have up to five terms of free part-time early learning with us before they join the Reception class.  The Nursery aims to create an environment where children can have a variety of experiences through play.  This means we can develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them and give them a strong foundation upon which we can start to build the curriculum.

Nursery Application forms can be downloaded here for 2025/26 or pop into the office to collect a printed form.

Applications for April 2026 should be returned to the school office by Wednesday 21 January 2026, please, for us to allocate places in accordance with our Nursery Admissions Policy.  

In addition, we have a chargeable lunch club that runs until 1.30pm. Nursery children may have a school dinner or bring a packed lunch.  During this period and for their playtime in or outside, the children remain fully supervised.  We do not offer 30 hours of funded childcare, but you may use extended hours to cover the additional cost of the lunch club (up to 8 hours 20 mins) if you are eligible.
