W/C 13th April 2026

This week, we’ve had a busy and exciting start to the new term!

In English, we began exploring the features of instruction writing, getting ready for our new writing unit. The children have been identifying key elements such as clear steps, time adverbials, and imperative verbs.

In Maths, we have been learning about mass. The class worked hard on understanding equivalent masses, comparing different weights, and adding and subtracting masses using grams and kilograms.

In History, we started our new topic on Ancient Egypt. We began by learning about the importance of the River Nile and how it supported life and farming in ancient times.

In Science, we explored plant life cycles and different methods of seed dispersal. The children enjoyed learning how plants reproduce and spread in a variety of ways.

In PSHE, our focus was “My Friends and Me.” We discussed what it means to be a good friend and thought about ways to make new friends and include others.

In Music, the children had great fun designing their own pop songs on the iPads, experimenting with beats and tempo to create their own compositions.

In PE, we had a fantastic week of sport! On Wednesday, one group took part in a hockey tournament and achieved an amazing 2nd place out of 9 schools - well done! On Friday, we developed our cricket skills, focusing on throwing and catching.

Well done to everyone for a brilliant week—keep up the great work!
