While we were waiting for our turn to go in to the church the children had a fantastic time playing in the 'Pirate Park' nearby.
A highlight of our time in the park was the discovery of a small hedgehog asleep near the slide.
The hedgehog was out in the open so we carefully picked it up and moved it to the side of the park under some vegetation, where it could sleep safely.
As part of our R.E. topic on religious buildings we visited St John's Church, Carrington. Suzie talked to the children about the church and the symbols and objects they could see inside. The children went on a 'Treasure Hunt' to find various items in the church. Then they had a biscuit and a drink.
The children enjoyed seeing the tennis trophy. Some were able to have a coaching session. The whole class joined in with some tennis related activities outside. (In between the rain showers!!)
In numeracy the children have been looking at measuring length. These children used iPads, while working with Miss Elson, to measure objects in centimetres to one decimal place.
In literacy we have been reading a child's version of Julius Caesar. The children enjoyed the drama session creating freeze frames of different parts of the play. One part in particular was their favourite. Can you tell which part it was?
Our volcano topic began with investigating the layers of the earth and creating 'plates' to illustrate this. The children included interesting facts about each layer on their work.
Have you asked them what facts they can remember?
The Layers of the Earth
This half term we are learning about Volcanoes. We have more exciting design and art projects planned to accompany this topic.
We really enjoyed the Romans in Britain topic last half term. Here are 2 of the children in their Roman Helmets.
Welcome to the second half of the Autumn term.
We had a great start to the year and the children settled in really well.
CLASS LETTERS - 3M - 2021-2022
2S 2020 - 2021
Elements of Art!
We have learned that artists use all kinds of shapes. Geometric shapes are often found in human-made things, like buildings and machines while biomorphic shapes are found in nature. We looked at works by Paul Klee, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
We have developed techniques in using line. We explored the works of Leonardo Da Vinci and Pablo Picasso. We completed different line and shape drawings in our sketch books.
We loved learning about the artist Wassily Kandinsky and his life and art works. He believes that every colour has a soul and uses colour in all his pieces. We re-created his famous ‘Circles’ piece.
We have worked to develop techniques in using pattern. We learned about the work of Gustav Klimt, William Morris and created simple pattern designs.
We have used all we have learned on line, shape, pattern and colour to create some beautiful art prints. We used special printing inks and rollers to make our prints.
Tudor Houses!
We have loved learning about our topic The Great Fire of London! To finish off our work this term we had a fun arts and crafts day building Tudor Style Houses out of recycled materials. We worked in teams and supported each other and making decisions together.
World Book Day 2021!
We had the best World Book Day! We had a lovely assembly with the children at home, shared stories, designed book front covers, completed a Kahoot quiz and much more!
Chinese New Year!
We had a wonderful time celebrating Chinese New Year. We created beautiful pictures and wrote Happy New Year in Chinese!
SNOW DAY!
We were very excited little children coming into school and we have so much fun playing in the snow and building snowmen!
Children's Mental Health Week 2021
This week we have been learning about Mental Health. We had a lovely afternoon thinking about our feelings, what they look like and drawing them on life size pictures of people. It was so much fun!
Worry Monsters!
As part of Children's Mental Health Week we crated our own Worry Monsters. We can write our worries down and the monster can worry about it for us!
Menorah's - Judaism
To celebrate Hanukah we created these beautiful Menorah Candles ! We learned about his religious celebration and story and used collage on our work!
Mad about Plants
We are learning about plants this week. In school we have planted our own beans and we will watch them grow! (Hopefully into a magical Beanstalk). We also made some plants using play dough and have labelled them.
Boccia!
We all played a game of Boccia together in the hall. This game is played at national and international levels including the Paralympics!
Christmas!
We have had a lovely time at school taking part in lots of Christmas activities. We wrote letters to Santa, created a Christmas video for parents, made our own calendars, had a party in the hall and even had Christmas dinner!
Nature Weaving!
We have been working together to create these fantastic nature weaves! We create a triangular loom using sticks and wool and practiced the under, over technique!
Tidy - Pete the Badger!
We have loved reading the story Tidy by Emily Gravett about a badger called Pete who loves to keep the forest tidy and neat. We have written some brilliant introductions to the story using lots of adjectives and verbs!
We Love Hedgehogs!
How amazing are these information texts all about hedgehogs! We have loved learning lots of interesting facts about these fascinating creatures and worked so hard on our presentation.
Observational Drawing - Plants!
In Year 2 we have been doing lots of work on woodland settings. Here are two examples of some beautiful sketchbook work, making observational sketches of plants!
Hedgehog Houses!
Some of the children created some amazing hedgehog houses for our into the woods topic! The hedgehogs are going to have lovely places to hibernate in this winter!
Andy Goldsworthy - Transient Art
We worked in groups and created some beautiful transient art using natural materials. This work was based on the artist Andy Goldsworthy. We learned that he cherishes the environment and will use all sorts of materials found outside!
Design and Technology
Bird Feeds!
In connection to our 'Into the Woods' topic we have designed and created our own bird feeds. We investigated existing products, drew designs and created them using a range of recyclable and waterproof materials! We took them home or hung them in the school garden!

Something strange crash landed in the playground today!!!!!
Spring 2
Welcome back 1T!
We have another busy half term planned, with our learning being based
all around SPACE and including a fabulous trip to The National Space Centre on
Tuesday 24th of March.
Already the children are wowing me with their knowledge and facts about space!
This term we have started our spelling tests and I so impressed with the way the children have embraced learning their words, their efforts really show. Remember that learning them can be creative and fun as well!
Spring 1
Its hard to believe we are already half way through this half term!
Our topic is all about 'Polar Regions' and we have been busy at work producing some beautiful creative work all about Polar Bears and Penguins. We have been looking at fabulous stories like 'Lost and Found', 'Poles Apart', 'The Emperor's Egg' and 'The Bear' to guide our learning, and even have a go at waddling like penguins carrying our eggs to keep them safe from the ice.
Spring Term Curriculm Letter
Autumn 2
We had such a super busy half term and everybody worked so hard!
Our half term topic was 'Under the Sea'. We learnt lots about different sea creatures and plants that live under the sea. The definite highlight was designing and making our own aquariums, which everyone put so much effort into.
A Pirate visited our class and left us clues round the classroom! His name was Pirate Pete. We used his story to create our own Pirate stories and learnt how to use adjectives to make our writing more descriptive.
We celebrated so many different occasions: Bonfire Night, Children in Need, Remembrance Day and finally Christmas. On party day we even had a visit from Santa who gave us all a present.
Welcome to Class 1T 2019-20
We have has a great start to Year 1 and everyone has settled in so well,
I am so proud of them all!
So far this term we have been very busy investigating 'Ourselves and Our World'.
We started with families and Stickman then moved onto adventures

What a great start we have had to our learning journey here at Haydn! We have loved getting to know our new teachers, making new friends and exploring our new learning environment. We've already done so many things and are learning new skills all of the time!
We're Going on a Barefoot Bear Hunt!
We went on a walk to Woodthorpe Park looking for signs of Autumn.
It was a beautiful, sunny day and we collected lots of treasures
to put on our nature table back at school.
