In recent weeks, Penguins Class have delved into an exciting journey of artistic discovery in their art lessons, honing their creativity, technique, and creativity. The focus has been on portraits—a timeless and expressive form of art. Here's a peek into what they've been learning and creating:
As the sun comes out and the Easter holidays approach, we would like to remind children and parents about staying safe in and around water. We recently hosted the Canal & River Trust to do an assembly for years 1-6 based around the dangers our local waterways can pose and how to stay as safe as possible around water.
The main message from the visit was Stay Away From the Edge (SAFE), but children also explored ways in which they could help someone in the water, such as using life rings, balls and bottles full of air. Children were taught they should NEVER go in the water to help someone else.

Owls Class have started their "mass and capacity" unit in maths this week. They started by exploring the weights in class from 1gram through to 1kg. Children felt the weights in their hands, balanced scales with classroom items and practised using analogue weighing scales of differing types.
Student leaders from across the Trust met at Manor Primary last week and agreed some great ideas going forward.
This week in Swans we have been exploring strength. In Science this half term, children have been exploring different materials, identifying materials that items are made from and naming different properties of objects in the classroom. Today we wanted pupils to investigate strength by making paper bridges. In partners pupils had to fold the paper in different ways to try and improve the strength of their bridges. An excellent scientific investigation!
Penguins Class become technologists, authors and role models all in one afternoon.

Owls Class started their cooking unit today with peeling and cutting.
Robins and Ducklings have been trying out their new balance bikes.
Swans have been busy over the last few weeks creating their 'Paper Play' art project based on the ‘Maman’ spider sculpture (1999) by the artist Louise Bourgeois. Mr Robson started the project
and worked with the children to create the structure. The children then worked in small groups to paint and decorate their class sculpture which is now sitting proudly in our classroom.
Cards made with love!

Today is Safer Internet Day 2025.
Children at Manor received an extended assembly on a range of key areas based on e-safety. Owls Class also took part in a nationwide BBC lesson where they took part in 3 activities to help be aware of, and spot, potential online scams as well as how to create a strong password. Below is a little more information, helpful links for parents and a handful of pictures.
