SJB Primary School

Year 1 have written some excellent character descriptions of the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood. Can you help us find him?

A little bit of rain won’t stop play in Nursery so the children got themselves kitted up in waterproofs and explored colours by squirting diluted paint into the puddles. It made a wonderful mix of rainbow colours 🌈🌧☀️

Of course, then we had to have the big clear up with soapy water. The children had loads of fun with all the bubbles and also strengthened their core muscles ready for writing too!

Our KS2 children have just completed their final cross country course.

Most of the children once again beat their previous best time.

Our SJB value of passion was definitely on show today.

Year 2 have been learning about programming this afternoon and using code to help Daisy the Dinosaur move.

We are having lots of fun continuing our topic about the Mayans.

This week in Nursery, we have been learning all about the story of The Enormous Turnip. The children have investigating vegetables using their senses by digging in the soil for vegetables and then preparing soup with them. They got creative when they painted pictures and printed with vegetables and dressed up to act out the story as well as playing with small world characters from the story. They learnt new mathematical vocabulary by pretending to be the turnip getting bigger and bigger and bigger and also the concept of first and last by standing in a line to help the farmer pull up the turnip.

Most importantly, they had lots of fun and loved sharing the story together.

We have just completed our two week Rocks and Fossils topic in Year 3.

We have looked at all three major rock types, fossils and soil. After our lesson, the children went outside to do some digging. The children are also watching and listening to the reaction between limestone and lemon juice.

Our work linked very nicely to our work on Volcanoes and Mountains.

The Romans are up next (another nice link to volcanoes). We hope the children love the topic. Since Mr Maher’s favourite film is Gladiator, he may like it too.

Year 1 have been working hard the last two weeks on their adding skills. They have been splitting numbers into the parts and whole. They have been working very hard on writing addition sentences! Well done Year 1 ⭐️

All of KS2 were out today aiming to beat their times from last week.

We talked about our breathing, running at a steady pace and having enough energy to sprint at the end.

Most of the children either beat or SMASHED their time from last week.

We will have one more go next week.

We are taking part in bike to school week this week. All children can bring their bikes and leave them at school.
