In Year 2 Hummingbird class @FP, we have learned about Hokusai and his famous painting ‘The Great Wave’.

We learned to use line, shape and texture to have a go at recreating our own version. We discussed shading and how at the top of the wave is different to underneath the wave.

Kingfisher class @FP have been very busy mathematicians this term as they have been preparing for the multiplication times table check. They have to answer 25 times table questions and only have six seconds to answer them. Want to have a go? Click on the link below:

Young Entrepreneurs in Action!

This week, in YR6 Eagle class @FP our classrooms were transformed into a buzzing hub of business brilliance as the children kicked off their “Make My £10 Grow” project — all in aid of raising money for our much-anticipated trip to Chessington Park of Adventure!

Armed with just a tenner and an entrepreneurial spirit, the children teamed up to dream up creative ways to turn their £10 into a mini fortune. From product design to order forms and budgeting spreadsheets (yes, really!), they’ve already shown impressive teamwork, imagination, and initiative.

Over the next few weeks, they’ll be putting their plans into action — buying supplies, creating products, and learning the all-important skills of planning, budgeting, and financial responsibility. We’re sure you’ll agree: it’s never too early to learn how to manage money wisely, think creatively, and work collaboratively.

So keep an eye out — not just for budding business moguls, but for exciting fundraising ventures coming your way soon!

Watch this space — and your wallets!

Duckling Class @FP Welcome Their Butterfly Friends! 

This week, the Reception Duckling class @FP had a very special moment in the garden – we released our butterflies.

Over the past few weeks, the children have been carefully looking after tiny caterpillars, watching them grow and change inside their classroom. They were amazed to see the caterpillars spin into chrysalises and waited patiently as they transformed.

On a sunny day, we all went outside to the school garden to release the butterflies. The children were so excited to open the net and watch the butterflies flutter into the sky. Some butterflies even landed nearby to say a little goodbye!

“It tickled my hand!” said Oluwayanmife, laughing.

We talked about how butterflies help flowers grow and how we can look after nature around us. The Ducklings waved and wished their butterfly friends a happy life in the garden.

What a wonderful way to finish our topic on growing and life cycles! Well done, Ducklings – you’ve been brilliant butterfly carers!
