In Robin Class, in phonics, the children have been focusing on the phoneme “k”, exploring words and sounds that begin with this letter and building their confidence in early reading skills.

In the messy tray, they got wonderfully creative with a sensory mix of chia seeds, water and blue paint. It is safe to say things got delightfully messy, so you may spot a few stray seeds at home. This activity has supported sensory exploration as well as fine motor development.

In maths, the children have been learning about 2D shapes, with a focus on circles. They created their own circle pictures using a range of different sized circles, helping them recognise shapes in a fun and hands on way.

In music, the children explored loud and quiet storm sounds using a range of instruments. They experimented with volume and rhythm to represent different elements of a storm, developing their awareness of sound while encouraging creativity and expression.

Another busy and engaging day of learning at Lower Heath 🌟

Skylark Class have been busy learning all about the plant life cycle🌻

The children have been planting runner beans and sunflowers and are excited to watch them grow and change over time.

They have extended their learning through our continuous provision, creating beautiful flower sculptures and artwork, exploring playdough life cycles and even producing their own mini book inspired by The Extraordinary Gardener. It has been lovely to see their creativity flourish alongside their scientific understanding.
We especially enjoy hearing the children talk about their learning with one another, using rich vocabulary and working together so confidently 🤝

Robin Class have had a fantastic time outdoors, making the most of the fresh air and space to explore 🌿

The children have been busy developing both their fine and gross motor skills through a range of active, hands on activities.

Alongside this, they have been practising teamwork, turn taking and social skills, learning how to play cooperatively, share ideas and support one another. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they play and learn together 😊🐦

In Owls, we put our science learning into action as part of our light and shadows topic 🦉💡

The children were challenged to prove that light travels in straight lines. Using straws and card, they worked together to show that light cannot travel around corners, providing clear and practical evidence through their investigations.

There was some fantastic teamwork, thoughtful discussion and excellent scientific thinking on display. We were really impressed with how confidently the children explained their ideas and findings.

We’ve had a fantastic week of learning, making the most of the beautiful sunshine and some hands on experiences ☀️

We started the week by taking our French lesson outdoors, enjoying the fresh air while learning. The children were fully engaged and it was lovely to see them learning in a different setting.

As part of our school growing challenge, we also got busy in the garden, planting lettuce, courgettes and onions. The children showed great care and enthusiasm, and some of our Kingfishers have already spotted the first green shoots appearing 🌱

In Art, we continued our work on the Amazon rainforest, creating mood boards to explore its colours, textures and atmosphere. The children loved gathering ideas and thinking creatively about how to represent this vibrant environment.

In Science, we built on our learning about circuits by creating our own buzzer games. The children worked brilliantly, growing in confidence as they used and recognised the scientific symbols for each component.

In English, we explored our class text Journey through role play. The children took on the role of the unfriendly guard, using body language and tone to bring the characters to life. There were some very convincing performances.

To top it all off, we were so excited to receive the new books we chose using our Colour Run fundraising money. The children were buzzing and have already started enjoying a wonderful range of fiction, non fiction and “choose your own adventure” books 📚

In worship this week, our One Voice Bright Sparks group launched an exciting new project linked to National Gardening Week and our Love Your Lunchbox initiative 🌱

The children shared how growing plants helps us learn patience and care, supports our wellbeing, benefits the environment and encourages us to eat more fruit and vegetables. They spoke with such confidence about how small actions can make a big difference.

As part of the project, they introduced our vegetable growing competition. Children will be planting courgette, onion and lettuce seeds at school and then caring for them at home with their families 🥕

This initiative links beautifully with Love Your Lunchbox, encouraging children to include fruit or vegetables each day and make healthy choices. The children also shared thoughtful reflections on how growing our own food can build confidence to try something new.

At Lower Heath, we are committed to developing the whole child by nurturing wellbeing, responsibility, curiosity and healthy habits alongside learning. We are incredibly proud of our One Voice Bright Sparks for leading worship with such purpose and inspiring our whole school community 💚

👉 Ask your child about the project and get involved at home by supporting their growing journey.
