Transition day 2025!
What a fabulous transition day we had on Tuesday! We spent the day exploring the book “What we’ll build” By Oliver Jeffers showing The Howard values of independence and creativity through a whole host of activities exploring what they could build - and boy could they build! From dens, beds and…
What happens to light when it passes through different transparent objects?
Key stage 1 have loved learning about Sir Isaac Newton. This week they investigated why we can see a rainbow when light passed through a prism and how rainbows are formed. They then had a go at making rainbows using a glass of water and a light source. Such a colourful lesson packed with great…
Computer skills and publishing stars!
Year 1 have worked hard mastering logging on to the chrome books and opening google documents. They have then used their growing typing skills to publish their wonderful Tinga Tales. Great learning and fun!
What effects does gravity have on objects?
Key stage 1 had lots of fun completing an investigation all about gravity. They learnt what gravity was, who discovered it and then conducted investigations testing the effects of gravity on objects. So much fun and lots of learning!
Budding architects
Class 2 have started their final art topic of the year - architecture. They have made mood boards combining their go rowing computing skills with their art skills and today they have used their mathematical knowledge of 3D shapes to help them draw 3D building outlines.
Great work class…
Recycling seaside sculptures
Class 2 have had great fun creating sea creatures from recycled materials. They applied their learning to create their final sculptures after planning them very carefully. Well done class 2!

They have also made sandwiches using fish products that were sustainable sourced.
Exploring length and height
Year 1 have worked hard this week exploring length and height. They have used mathematical vocabulary when exploring this concept such as longer, shorter, taller, smaller and centimetres. They have compared lengths, measured using objects and measured using centimetres. Great work…
The Howard had a little lamb!
Today we were lucky enough to have a one week old lamb visit us. The children fed the lamb her milk, stroked her curly woolly coat and asked great questions. Thank you so much to Mrs Britland for arranging to bring her in. What a Friday afternoon treat!
