Class 1 & Class 3 loved sharing books with their reading buddies this afternoon. A lovely way to spend the last 20 mins before the half term break. #lovestc #readingstc #unitystc

Reception and Class 6 were reading buddies this afternoon. We shared our favourite stories together. What a lovely end to half term 📚 #loveSTC #unitySTC

Class 1 & 2 had a wonderful day at Hereford Cathedral today! ✨ From drama workshops to fantastic performances, we brought Bible stories to life — including Moses and the Burning Bush. #lovestc #REstc #ks1stc

Class 4 were inspired by taking part in the #BigSchoolsBirdwatch @rspb.bsky.social and completed some beautiful bird sketches! Some children feel sketching and art helps them to feel calm. #childrensmentalhealthweek #ArtSTC #ScienceSTC #CitizenScienctists

Class 6 have been meticulously planning their Independent Applications of a Tale of Fear. Lots of us are just ‘shaking hands’ with the model text and considering different eras, tenses and tones that we could write our stories in. Can’t wait for the final result 🤩 @piecorbett.bsky.social #T4W

In Art today, Class 2 explored turning 2D paper into 3D shapes through folding, cutting, tearing and twisting. A great skill to learn and practise as we prepare to make 3D bird sculptures after half term. @accessart.bsky.social #artstc #lovestc @artscouncilengland.bsky.social

What a delight, and fabulous opportunity, our musicians had today. Thank you @HerefordCathedralSchool for inviting us to watch @rosiebiss.bsky.social perform in a cello recital - inspiring, breath-taking and moving… #lovestc #musicstc

More paper tubes and ideas for structures. Class 5 worked really well to find ways to join their work. #perseverencestc #unitystc

Class 5 investigated making paper tubes from newspaper and trying out joining methods. It was tricky but we persevered!

Class 4 have persevered to solve a tricky Maths problem today - how many shapes (that aren’t rectangles) can you draw with a perimeter of 20cm? It was tricky but all of these children found at least one solution! 👏 #perseveranceSTC

Reception children enjoyed building their own set on our outside stage and acting out the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff! They were amazing at using different voices for the characters. #lovestc

Another fantastic example of a 5 sentence story written independently by a Reception child. We are amazed by the writing we have seen this week! #perseverencestc

This week Reception children have been innovating a the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Look at this incredible 5 sentence story that a child wrote independently! This is so impressive for this early on in the year! Beautiful illustrations too! #perseverencestc

This week, Class 2 have kicked off their Courageous Advocacy project by tackling water waste in school! After learning from Mrs Baker how much we spend on water, they inspected our taps and created reminder posters to help everyone turn them off. A brilliant start, Class 2! #courageousadvocacy

Class 2 loved experimenting with sketching pencils, graphite, watercolours and wax pastels to create their own observational feather artwork. Thank you Access Art for another inspiring lesson! @accessart.bsky.social #lovestc #artstc #ks1stc

Huge thanks to @accessart for a brilliant observational bird drawing lesson. So enjoyable—and the results speak for themselves. Stunning sketches from Class 2! #ks1stc #artstc #lovestc @accessart.bsky.social

Class 2 children have been smashing maths this week! Exploring equal & unequal groups, using the stem sentence “there are … groups of …” and linking it to repeated addition. Great thinking all round! #ks1stc #mathstc @ncetm.bsky.social

Class 6 have been ranking the effectiveness of different materials that could be used for an air-raid shelter. We were inspired by ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’ and the characters putting the Anderson shelter up to think about what it would be like inside. #ScienceSTC @marymyatt.bsky.social

Class 2 have been fascinated learning about Mary Seacole. They were saddened by how she was treated, yet inspired by her determination to help soldiers in need. We explored why she is famous, remarkable, and remembered. #historystc #unitystc #ks1stc @marymyatt.bsky.social

It was fantastic to welcome our Year 2 parents into school today to learn about Mastering Number and enjoy some maths games with their children. Thank you for being such a supportive community! We hope you found it useful. #ks1stc #mathstc #lovestc #unitystc @ncetm.bsky.social

As part of our #CourageousAdvocacy project class 3 completed a litter survey this afternoon to find out if litter is a problem in the streets around our school - we were very shocked at the amount of litter we saw! #perseverancestc

Class 4 are exploring high quality texts to inspire their own animal fact files. #loveSTC #ScienceSTC

Great to see so many children keeping active at lunchtime #perseverancestc

This week, Reception have been working on perseverance. They had a very tricky obstacle course and had to really think about how to move around it and keep trying to master the skills needed. They were so proud of themselves when they achieved their goal! #perseverencestc

This week the Reception children have been working on their addition skills. Some children were even able to record their addition sentences independently! Amazing work! #perseverencestc

Reception have been exploring what materials would make the best boat. They made predictions about which materials would float and which would sink, then they tested this out. We had some wonderful scientific discussions! #perseverencestc

Inspired by #FrancisHatch and @accessart.bsky.social class 3 are exploring making and using natural pigments. Paprika, turmeric and blackberries are working brilliantly so far… #lovestc #artstc

Class 2 are really enjoying learning about Florence Nightingale from the past! Today they ordered her key life events in chronological order and created their very own timelines. Look how long they are! #historystc #lovestc #ks1stc

At this time of year I always go back through the last 12 months of photos, editing and filing them away for reference. It's also a way of reminding myself just how much I've done. Here's a few favourites which you might remember from 2025. 😁👍 www.darrellwakelam.com #edusky #UKEd

In class 5 last week we created seabird sculptures using recycled materials and plaster bandage, shaped by the reality of microplastic pollution in our seas. Looking forward to painting next! @savethewye.bsky.social @darrellwakelam.bsky.social @worcswt.bsky.social #ArtSTC #perseveranceSTC

Inspired by our #talkforwriting toolkit class 3 have been writing about April arriving on Bear Island using show-not-tell how a character is feeling through their body language response… #englishstc @piecorbett.bsky.social

In art class 3 are being inspired by Francis Hatch to make pictures using natural materials…we began by creating a visual notes page of her work. #artstc @accessart.bsky.social

Last week, Class 2 had such fun learning how to build suspense in a story! They explored the power of show, not tell—making readers feel the tension instead of just reading it. We were so proud of our suspense paragraphs we decided to type them up in best. #lovestc #ks1stc #englishstc

Reception children took part in their fist balance bike clubs session today! They had a brilliant time!

Creating our own version of Monet’s famous Waterlilies picture in Reception. Beautiful work girls! #lovestc

Thinking outside of the box in Reception! One child was making a bridge to help her cat get across the river, when she found a boat! Problem solved! 😂 #perseverencestc

Reception have been busy constructing to bridges to help the goats (and other animals!) to get across the river. We realised that our bridges would need steps or a ramp to help them up. Great teamwork! #perseverencestc

Lots of laughter could be heard in board games club this afternoon. We had such a good time and all played fairly.

To launch our new TfW unit on Kassim and the Greedy Dragon, the Y2 children designed their own dragons using sketching pencils and watercolours. We’re so proud of their imaginative final pieces! 🐉 🎨 #lovestc #englishstc #artstc #ks1stc @piecorbett.bsky.social

Class 4 foraged among nature to create pieces of art. What magnificent ideas they had. #artstc #lovestc #natureinart
