Year 1 Update

Year 1 have been learning about famous female British Queens from the past. They have learnt about Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria. Children created their own pictures of the queens too.

In English children have learnt the oral story 'The Papaya that Spoke' as well as retelling it with lots of actions. Children have planned their own stories which they will plan write and publish after half term.

In maths children have learnt that halving something means that you divide it into 2 equal parts. They have divided pictures in half as well as sharing counters into 2 groups to find half of amounts.

In art, children created observational botanical artwork after sketching and painting flowers using watercolour. We were amazed at the artistic talent present in Year 1!

In science, children learnt about evergreen and deciduous trees. They learnt how deciduous trees change throughout the year and created tree collages to show the difference across the 4 seasons.

 

 

 

Year 3 Update

Here is what pupils have got up to this week in Year 3!

English

This week in English, Year 3 wrote thank you letters to monkeys for their help picking a special type of tea called ‘Cloud Tea’. Children worked incredibly hard to write their letters in first person and used the present perfect tense whilst writing their letters!

Maths

In Maths, we have finished learning about time and children have now started to look at roman numerals.

Art

In Art, children engaged with nature around Elmgrove to sketch what they saw. They took the time to listen and observe what they noticed around them. It was as if time had stopped! They then used water colours to paint their landscapes. Children have really shown their interest in this topic through the use of their brush strokes and their intricate final pieces of art!

Computing

In Computing, Year 3 have finished creating their own digital comic strips. They’ve enjoyed designing backgrounds, adding characters, and using speech bubbles to bring their stories to life. This has been a fun and creative way to develop their digital literacy skills.

The Year 6 children had a wonderful time at the Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre on Wednesday! The show was absolutely fantastic and kept everyone engaged from start to finish. A big well done to our Year 6 pupils, who represented our school brilliantly with their excellent behaviour throughout the day. We’re so proud of how they conducted themselves —it was a truly memorable experience!

 

 

 

 

 

The year 6 leavers hoodies have arrived. They look great!

The Year 6 children are allowed to wear their leavers' hoody in school from now until the last day of term. They must still wear their full Elmgrove school uniform. We hope the children enjoy them. What a lovely keepsake to have to remember their days at Elmgrove Primary School.

The children's names have been written on the label inside the hoody.
