Year 2 have recently been having fun in their English lessons and learnt how to add -er and -est to adjectives to compare objects! ✏️📚 They also practised ordering items and talking about practical objects in relation to their size. 🧸📦
Fantastic comparing skills from everyone! 👏⭐
In Science, Year 3 have been learning about how magnets are used in everyday life. The children explored a range of real-life examples and discussed how magnets help us in different ways, from simple household items to more advanced technology.
The pupils enjoyed working in small groups to match descriptions to pictures, helping them to identify and understand different uses of magnets. They showed great teamwork, listened carefully to one another’s ideas and explained their thinking clearly.
The children then used the internet to research some more complex uses of magnets, including maglev trains, recycling and electromagnetism. They were fascinated to discover how magnets can help trains move without touching the track, how they are used to separate materials during recycling, and how electromagnets can be switched on and off using electricity.

To continue their topic on 'People Who Look After Us', Reception were so please to welcome one of their parents who used to work in the RAF. They were mesmerised by the pictures of different aircraft and a very exciting video. They handed round a special medal, RAF helmet and model Hercules plane. It was lovely to see the children so inspired by such a vital role.
