Carleton House Preparatory School

Year 1 are really enjoying learning about place value. They have only learnt about teen numbers, but they challenged themselves today to apply what they know to numbers up to 100! They could build the numbers knowing the place value of each digit. Wow 🤩

Year 1 are learning about place value to 20. They are enjoying using practical resources to build teen numbers.

Y6 enjoyed some Friday puzzle maths this morning after working hard on their ratio and proportion topic the first week back.

In Year 4, we enjoy learning our times tables through songs and games.

Year 5 It has been fantastic to have all of the children back in class together and we have been working very hard. The highlight for the children was their Computing lesson with Mr Moffat as they learned how to programme microbits 🤖🖥️⭐️

Year 3 always look forward to our weekly computer lesson with Mr Moffatt. This afternoon the children spoke about how instructions need to be clear and follow a certain order. Then they worked on solving some challenging coding problems.

Year 3 have been learning about the different types of soil in science and they are looking forward to completing some experiments to compare the properties of clay soil, sandy soil, peaty soil and chalky soil.

Thank you to our CELEBRATION OF THE WORD prayer leaders /RE Ambassadors for delivering a whole school assembly on the Feast of the Epiphany this week.

A huge well done to our first GOSPEL VALUE certificate winners of 2026.

Reception have been exploring 2d shapes this week-sorting, naming, and building their own squares and rectangles. They described the similarities and differences between 4 sided shapes, super problem-solving skills.

A wonderful start to the new year as Year 2 have been enjoying the Visit of the Magi from (Matthew 2:1-12) We talked about the celebration of The Epiphany and acted out the arrival of the Magi, following the star and giving gifts to the baby Jesus.

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany 🌟 remembering the Wise Men who followed the star to Jesus, bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Year 4 have been learning about this special day.

Year 5 We have worked so hard this term but have been able to enjoy lots of festive activities this last week or so. We would like to wish all of our children and families a happy holiday and say a big thank you for your support and generosity. Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas everyone
