Going on a minibeast hunt!

In Science, we are learning all about living things and their habitats. We have been looking at microhabitats and minibeasts that we might find. We had a very successful forest school mission and managed to spot quite a few wriggly friends!

Flora and Fauna inspired art

We have begun our new art topic which the children are so engaged with already! We are studying artists whose work is inspired by nature found in a particular area, recreating pieces by sketching, mark making and collage. We will create a final nature inspired collage at the end of the learning journey.

 

Baking carrot muffins

We put our chopping, peeling and grating skills to the test for our D&T learning this half term! We made healthy (ish) carrot muffins and practised the key

skill of grating carrots. They were very yummy!

Painting portraits at the Shrewsbury Museum

Class 2 had a wonderful visit to the Shrewsbury Museum. They have been learning about Queens Elizabeth I, Victoria and Elizabeth II in History and came to the museum to learn about portraiture. We looked at portraits of famous people around the museum and then learnt to draw our own portraits.

Making fire-breathing dragons!

For the hook for our first story in English, we witnessed a dragon landing on the playground outside our classroom! So to prove that we’re not scared, we created our very own fire-breathing dragons.

Uniform

A reminder that full uniform is expected at all times. Even though we are approaching the end of term, that shouldn’t mean that we let pride in our uniform standards slip.  We wear our Hodnet blue, to show that we are part of our school team, we are smart, proud and ready to learn. We are also adhering to our school rules and values by wearing the correct uniform, as it is a school policy to wear it.

Uniform is a fundamental part of most schools and other organisations procedures, ensuring communities are unified. Our children will find high expectations of uniform standards right through their educational career, so we aim high from the beginning.

We also recognise that our children require parental support to ensure they are adhering to our uniform policy. Thank you to parents and families for your cooperation with this. 

Uniform Policy 2024 26

We have lots of uniform free to families due to the high number of good quality donations that we receive. Please pop into the lobby to take a look of you would like some.

Chester Zoo!

Class 2 had a fantastic time at Chester Zoo. Despite the very warm weather, we soldiered on and really enjoyed seeing all of the incredible animals!
