In Year 3, we have been learning about prepositions. We have found a good way to remember what they are and how to use them in a sentence… take a look!

Wow, what a busy week!

Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed Science Week 2018.

We used the book ‘The Great Explorer’ by Chris Judge as a focus for all our activities. We started the week by predicting, reading and asking questions about the story, then ‘packed our kit bags’ ready for the…

On Monday we welcomed local author Andrew Green to Moor Park. He treated us to a reading of his new book “Who’s Taken It?” and some of us got to be the animals from the story.

Later we took part in some creative workshops with Andrew and his wife Carly. We made up our own stories, played…

This half term we have been looking at different materials in Science. Today we investigated which materials were absorbent or waterproof and which materials we could change the shape of. We worked collaboratively and had an interesting discussion about our findings. 

Some of us tried out the Ozobots today. We investigated how to make it move along black lines, then added codes to make it change speeds and do tricks! Next we made lots of different paths with added codes to see what we could get the Ozobots to do. We LOVED it! We worked collaboratively with our…

Today in Year 2 we talked about the importance of washing our hands to protect us from germs. Mrs Forrester spread her 'germs' around the classroom and they were everywhere!

On Friday we were treated to some 'Coco Time'. We have been working really hard in Year 2 and this was a much needed reward. Thank you Coco!

Then some of us were chosen to be trainee fire fighters rescuing a family…

First we investigated capacity and have learned how to measure containers in millilitres. 

Then we became geographers and discovered our school environment before going on a…
