Scissor skills

13th November 2025Elizabeth Frost

This week in crew Frost the children have been learning how to use scissors. The children first discussed how to use the scissors safety and what items we cut. We then practiced how we hold the scissors for moving around the classroom and when we are ready to cut. We then challenged the children to follow the patterned lines on the sheets. The children astonished us how they were able to maneuver their way around the task following the patterned sheets. We can’t wait to keep practicing this fine motor task.

Planting for the Future

Our pupils have been getting their hands muddy as part of our Woodland Trust tree-planting project! Together, we planted a range of native trees to help create new habitats for wildlife and make our school grounds greener for everyone to enjoy. This hands-on experience taught the children about caring for the environment and the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. We’re proud to be doing our part to help the UK grow more trees and tackle climate change, one sapling at a time!

Colour mixing and creating artwork like Paul Klee

11th November 2025Lauren Marsh

In Crew Barber, we have been looking at the artist Paul Klee and looking at how he uses colours in his artwork. We have learnt how to mix primary colours (red, blue and yellow) to make secondary colours (orange, purple and green). We have also learnt about hot and cold colours and how that creates mood in our artwork. Look at our fab Florence Nightingale in the style of Paul Klee.

Our crew showed great empathy and understanding as they considered the significance of Remembrance Day, ensuring that the bravery and dedication of others are honoured and never forgotten.

Anti-Bullying Week – Make a Noise About Bullying!

10th November 2025Laura Godley

Today marked the start of Anti-Bullying Week, exploring how we can all play a part in making school a kind, safe and respectful place for everyone.

Across the school, pupils have been learning what bullying means, how it can make people feel, and most importantly, how we can stand up for others and celebrate our differences.

In our crew we have designed anti-bullying posters to spread positive messages about friendship, kindness, and speaking up when something isn’t right. Together, we’re proud to make a noise about bullying and show that our school is a place where everyone belongs.
