What a surprise for Year 2! Yesterday, during shared reading, our Y2 Rabbits had a very exciting moment... a letter fell right out of their book! (Y2 Rabbits' eyes only... what could it be?) The children soon discovered it was their official invitation to take part in their Y2 SATs or as they now know it... their "Secret Agent Training!" We are already well underway, and the children are showing fantastic enthusiasm as they demonstrate their reading, maths, grammar, punctuation and spelling skills. Another cohort of secret agents is in the making and Mrs Jackson is incredibly impressed with all their efforts so far. Keep up the amazing work, Year 2!

Yesterday, our Hedgehogs class had an unexpected visitor in their EYFS outdoor provision! With everyone very busy exploring and learning outside, we decided it would be best to carefully move our little guest somewhere a little bit safer A nature-loving member of Foxes class kindly came down to help, showing such gentle care and thoughtfulness. We are so proud of the kindness and compassion our children showwhat a wonderful reflection of our East Ravendale community Moments like these remind us how important it is to love, respect and protect the natural world around us. By caring for even the smallest creatures, we help nurture a lifelong appreciation for nature. #LoveNature #RespectWildlife #EastRavendale #CaringChildren #Wonder #Belief #Joy #LAAT

Today, Foxes Class stepped back in time to the Victorian era as part of their learning. The children bravely sampled the traditional 'workhouse gruel'... and it certainly sparked some strong opinions! One pupil said it "tasted like heaven," while others felt it should be renamed "cruel"! This memorable experience has inspired our next Food and Design Technology challenge. Over the coming weeks, the children will be designing their very own improved versions of gruel making them both delicious and nutritious, using only ingredients available in Victorian times. We love seeing their creativity, perseverance and curiosity flourish as they learn with such wonder, belief and joy, showing great resilience and teamwork throughout the process.

Please note: this post includes images from a real-life science activity involving animal organs. Heart Dissections in Badgers Badgers had a fantastic hands-on science lesson today, exploring the anatomy of the heart using pig hearts. The children showed great curiosity and determination as they learned about how our hearts work Using straws, they even practised inserting a stent into a coronary arterywhat an incredible way to bring learning to life! They then carefully carried out dissections, approaching the activity with maturity, respect and enthusiasm. It's safe to say it was a memorable experience, with lots of learning, discovery... and plenty of excitement too. We are so proud of their courage and perseverancetruly living out our values of Wonder, Belief and Joy.

Foxes Class have been enjoying spending time in their reflection space this week. This calm and welcoming area allows the children to pause during their busy day, practise mindful colouring and think carefully about their experiences. Through thoughtful prompts such as "What has gone well today?", "How have I shown kindness?" and "Have I had any struggles today?", the children are developing their ability to reflect, grow and support one another. This special space encourages mindfulness, kindness and gratitudevalues that are at the heart of school life. It has been wonderful to see Foxes Class embracing this time for stillness and reflection, living out our vision through wonder, belief and joy.

Year 2 Launch Their Learning with a Royal Challenge! Year 2 were hooked on their new text this half term after receiving a special challenge from Queen Victoria herself! She loves seaside visits and swimming but needed a clever way to keep her privacy – how could she enter the sea unseen? The children tackled the open-ended challenge with creativity and imagination, suggesting ideas such as blacked-out vehicles, clever security systems and even secret beach tunnels! Their modern thinking would surely have amazed the Queen. They showed great enthusiasm as they built, discussed and shared their creations, demonstrating curiosity, teamwork and confidence throughout. We are thoroughly enjoying exploring Queen Victoria's Bathing Machine by Gloria Whelan as part of our learning journey.
