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.

🧼 Messy Monday at Lower Heath 🧼

In phonics, we introduced our new sound “c” and enjoyed singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat together. In maths, we explored more and less using One Elephant Went Out to Play, helping the children practise counting and comparing.

Our story of the week is Jimbo the Jet Set: Trouble at Sea, which the children listened to with great interest.

This afternoon’s messy play was all about exploring slime. The children loved investigating the different textures, describing it as slimy and sticky.

Thank you for your continued support. Another busy and happy day of learning.

A busy and exciting week of learning at Lower Heath 🚂🍃

From Tuneful Tuesday to Friendship Friday, our children have had a fantastic time exploring, creating and learning together.

We sang our maths song Humpty Dumpty while learning positional language like “in” and “out”, explored train sounds through music, and even recreated them using instruments. Outdoors on Welly Wednesday, the children worked brilliantly as a team to build a forest train station before heading off on a musical journey together.

Trainer Thursday brought lots of movement and energy with a fun obstacle course, helping to build coordination, balance and confidence. We finished the week with Friendship Friday, where the children talked thoughtfully about feelings and shared their own experiences, building confidence and understanding.

A wonderful week full of creativity, teamwork and joyful learning 💛

In Science, our Lower Heath children became electrical engineers ⚡

The children built their own electrical circuits, experimenting to discover what a circuit needs to work. They showed fantastic resilience and problem solving skills, especially when things did not work first time, adapting their ideas and trying again.

We also practised drawing accurate scientific diagrams, carefully representing and labelling each part of our circuits to show our understanding.

A brilliant example of curiosity, teamwork and perseverance in action.
