Today our Nursery children enjoyed a trip to Tam O'shanter Farm as part of our 'Down on the Farm' topic. They had so much fun exploring the farm and experiencing all the sights and smells that go along with it. The trip to the farm has helped the children with their knowledge of farm animals, developed their understanding of how to look after animals and learn what happens on a farm.

This week, Year 4 attended an orchestral performance at the Philharmonic. The theme was ‘Going for Gold’ and was inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic. Each piece cleverly represented a different sport by using the different instruments in the orchestra. The children really enjoyed this experience and had the chance to be the conductor and sing along with the orchestra.
3S - Computing: Branching databases
Date: 4th Mar 2024 @ 9:58pm
To begin our topic for this term on Branching Databases, we started to think about how we can group items based on their attributes. We then looked at questioning and discussed open ended questions and closed questions which require a simple yes or no answer. We then worked in groups as attribute detectives to try to solve which item our group member had chosen by asking yes/ no (closed) questions.

3S - DT: making and decorating our final product
Date: 14th Feb 2024 @ 9:28pm
Today, we completed our DT topic by making our final product. When we had planned our design brief, we had each chosen to make either a purse, a wallet or a pencil case. We started today by cutting our felt to the correct size and shape as per our design brief then we threaded our needles and using running stitch or whip stitch, we sewed up the seams.
We mostly used Velcro as our fastening and then we decorated our final product and evaluated it in our DT books.
