This week it has been Art Week in school. We have been focusing on pattern and print making. We looked at famous printer William Morris, the children researched William Morris and found out lots of interesting information about him and his artwork. We then explored lots of different printing techniques. Mono printing with stencils, mono printing with line drawing, relief printing, impressed printing and layer printing. Some of these were tricky to get right. But the children

We have just finished writing our narratives with a mythical creature in them. We were inspired by the book Malamander, which we have been reading in class. In the build up to writing our own narratives, we looked at writing dialogue. We made sure to use the correct punctuation and ensured there was a purpose to the dialogue. Did it move the story on. We wrote descriptions of the creatures that would feature in our own stories. Then we looked at ways in which we could build t

This week we looked at our World Religion for 2025-2026, Hinduism. This week's learning included learning where and when the religion started. We then compare this to where Hindus can be found today. We also looked at the key information about Hindus and the children created a fact file full of key facts. We compared Hinduism to the other main World Religions we have looked at in other years. Finally, we began looking at how the key beliefs Hindus have impact the way that th

We have had a good first week back. We are continuing to read Malamander in Guided Reading and now we are also going to use the book as a stimulus for our writing. In Maths we are continuing with our work on fractions. Our block subject for the beginning of this half term is Geography. In Geography, we are looking at the big question ' Where in the world are we?' We began by looking at the continents and main oceans of the earth. We looked at our exact location on the earth,

We have had a slightly shorter week this week, but we have still covered a lot. In Maths, we have moved onto fractions. In our Theme lessons, we are now doing Geography and answering the question 'Where in the World are we?' We will share more about this work after half term. In English, this week we have been looking at Kenning Poems. A Kenning Poem is like a riddle. The poem is 2 words per line and often follows a noun- verb pattern. Here are some examples of our poems, can

On Tuesday, 21st October we have our Open Classroom. Doors will open at 3pm, offering you an opportunity to see what your child has been doing in school since September.

This week, we have spent lots of our lessons focusing on DT. Our DT unit for this half term is Food Technology. The week began with learning based around the seasonality of our food. We then looked at where our food comes from, is it grown, reared, caught or processed? It was an opportunity for lots of our children to share their experiences from home on their farms. We then discussed what we were going to produce this week, pies. The children shared pies that they had eaten

This morning, we left school slightly earlier and drove to Bolton Castle picking Grewelthorpe up along the way. On arrival it was like we had gone back in time and we were immersed in the Tudor times. During the day we learnt lots of information about the Tudors and were able to demonstrate confidently what we had learnt during our work in school. When we arrived we got dressed in some Tudor style clothing and we gathered outside to learn the drill the soldiers would have don

We are well into our Tudor unit now and have covered so much already. We are really looking forward to our trip to Bolton Castle nest Friday. You should have received a letter reminding you of the arrangements for our trip. This week, we have been learning about the monarchs who ruled after Henry VIII. We realised the Tudors changed monarchs as quickly as Henry changed wives. Chronology is really important to demonstrating a good understanding of history, so we spent time pla
