Weekly Highlights at Mighty Mossy

Another fantastic week of learning, teamwork and outdoor adventures at Mighty Mossy!

Acorn Class

In Science, we teamed up with Oak Class to investigate which materials are best suited for different purposes. We thought about everyday objects and discussed why they are made from certain materials.

The children also took on an exciting engineering challenge by designing and building their own submarines. They demonstrated fantastic teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills as they worked together to make their creations as sturdy as possible.

As part of our RE learning about the Christian festival of Baptism, Acorn Class enjoyed a visit to Tunley Church. The children had the opportunity to learn more about the significance of baptism in a church setting, bringing their classroom learning to life.

Oak Class

In English, we have been researching the arguments for and against a vegetarian diet. The children have been collecting evidence ready for an exciting class debate next week, developing their speaking, listening and persuasive skills.

In Geography, we took part in a role-play activity, hosting a village meeting to discuss the impact of plastic pollution on our fictitious local beach and in the sea. The children confidently shared ideas, asked thoughtful questions and considered ways the community could help protect the environment.

Forest Friday

This week, we headed into Forest School for a creative art session. Using observational drawing as inspiration, the children explored a form of monoprinting to create beautiful nature-inspired artwork.

Reading Buddies

It was lovely to see our older pupils spending time reading with our younger children. Our Reading Buddy sessions continue to build confidence, friendships and a love of reading across the school.

Breakfast Club

A big well done to our Breakfast Club children, who have been taking excellent care of our lovely new plants. Their hard work is helping our outdoor spaces continue to flourish!

Another week full of curiosity, creativity and collaboration—well done, everyone!
