Great Learning - Some Examples

We're really proud of the work our primary school students produce. To give you an idea of the standard of their homework and classwork we'll be adding examples here throughout the year.

See also examples of work by our secondary students.


This week - Year 4 in focus

In Science, students have been learning about types of teeth...

Great work 1

…and how different drinks affect them.

Great work 2


In RE they have been looking at the significance of baptism to Christians.

Great work 3


In English we looked at model examples of the types of writing we are creating and unpicked the features.

Great work 4

This then helps us write with a clear understanding of the type of writing and the standard we should be completing.

Great work 5

Students can then pick their own targets and peer-assess others to make sure they know exactly the standards they should be working to!


Year 5 in focus

Year 5 Science. Looking at the effects the Earth’s gravity has on our closest orbiting neighbours.

Primary great work (7)

Year 5 – Vocabulary lesson. Building our vocabulary knowledge with new words we can then use in our writing.

Primary great work (6)

…here is then the work at the end of the week using our new vocabulary!

Primary great work (5)

Year 5 – Another wonderful example of the language and writing skills of our students. I can feel the excitement of the rollercoaster!

Primary great work (4)

…You can then see how we have gone back and improved the writing in our edit lessons

Primary great work (3)

Year 5 Geography. Developing our understanding of the world around us to include lines on longitude and latitude. This will help us analyse different climate zones and tropics in later lessons.
