Exploring teen numbers in the sunshine!
This afternoon, we enjoyed our maths session in our outdoor classroom. We have been exploring the teen numbers 11, 12 and 13 this week and noticing how teen numbers are made up of 1 ten and then a certain number of 1’s.
Today each child was given a number up to 13 and asked to go and get…
Enjoying the sunshine
Today we had our afternoon brain break outside on the Trim Trail, to make the most of this beautiful weather.
History-Queen Elizabeth I
Today we’ve been learning all about Queen Elizabeth I and life in Tudor times. The children made masks of Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII and a jester!
Science-materials hunt!
The children enjoyed scouring the playground in search of objects made from various materials on their list. They used a tally chart to record their findings and compared their results with each other once back in class. We have some very good scientists in the making!
Science - Caterpillar Life Cycles
Class 1 were learning all about lifestyle cycles today in our Science lesson. The children then made their own lifecycle of a caterpillar. We are all very excited to watch our class caterpillars go through their life-cycle. The children made predictions of what would happen next.
Art-exploring brush strokes
Class 2 wowed again today with their incredible creativity! They explored thick and thin, big and small, with their brushes this afternoon, to fantastic effect!
Planting 2026
Before the rain started, we enjoyed planting new vegetables in their new beds. We carried on with this on Friday morning when the weather was better! We are looking forward to watching them grow and harvesting to use with our school meals.
Traffic survey
Our Geography topic this half term is a local study, so this morning we completed a transport survey of how people travel to Great Haywood.
Spiritual walk around Shugborough 2026
Our year 6 children had a wonderful time walking around Shugborough with our school friend and chaplain - Kevin.
Outdoor classroom clean up!
The children donned their gardening gloves and set to work tidying up our lovely outdoor classroom today. They got stuck in weeding and tidying, making friends with the caterpillars, worms and ladybirds along the way!
What a lovely time we’ve had in our outdoor area
What a lovely time Class 1 have had this afternoon working with their friends and parent helpers to help tidy our outdoor classroom and plant some plants. Our outdoor classroom looks fantastic!
Thank you to all the parent helpers who came to join us!
We are looking forward to see how…
Our school church
The question we are exploring this half term in our RE sessions is ‘What happens in a church?’
Today, we talked about how lucky we are to have our church, St Stephen’s so close to our school and to be part of the church community. We talked about all the different celebrations we have…
