Students in Years 11-13 have now finished most of their exams, ready for us to begin submitting the evidence to the exam boards next week. Well done to them all for keeping their focus during these uncertain times.

Key Stage 1

YEAR 1. This week in English in Year 1, we have continued looking at the story 'How to Catch a Star'. We drew pictures and/or wrote sentences to retell the story. We also looked at different prepositions to describe where the star is. In Maths we have looked at the easiest way to add three small numbers together by first looking for pairs of numbers that make 10 or double numbers to help us. In Science, we recapped what we remember about the season of summer. We looked at how to stay safe in the sun by using sun cream and wearing hats and sunglasses. We also discussed why we should never look directly at the sun. In Topic, we looked at the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone, Amelia Earhart. Finally, we ended our week with our sponsored walk to 50th Anniversary of October Park. A great time was had by all!
YEAR 2. This week we finished of our phonics by focusing on 'sion' and 'cian' ending words and magic 'e' words, but we will continue that into next week, and some focused on 'oa' words. We also wrote about our holiday experiences in English. In Maths, we wrapped up a couple of mastery checkpoints on mental addition and subtraction as well as some challenging worded problems. In Art, we drew mansions and added backgrounds with finer details. Finally, in PSHE we went further in depth regarding personal hygiene. Well done! In Russian (non-native) Y2 learned a few new words about household equipment. 
ART. Year 2 children made flowers from egg cartons ,they painted petals, made stems ,leaves and placed everything on their painted background.
