This week, Year 4 learnt how to multiply numbers beyond the 12 × table by using flexible partitioning. It was a challenge for many, as it involves following several steps to calculate the total accurately. Working in groups, the children used Numicon to model each equation and then represented their thinking using part–whole models to show both the method and final answer. This important groundwork prepares them for more advanced written multiplication in Year 4 and in the years ahead. We are so impressed with how Year 4 approached and conquered flexible partitioning this week. Well done, Year 4 mathematicians!

At @bevingtonw10 our Maths curriculum is built on a mastery approach, ensuring pupils deepen their understanding through practical modelling, structured reasoning and carefully sequenced steps. This week’s work with flexible partitioning shows how children learn to break complex ideas into manageable stages, helping them build strong foundations for more advanced multiplication methods in the future.

Year 1 had a lovely morning going on this week’s shape walk around school with Winnie the dog. The children explored the environment, spotting circles, squares, rectangles and triangles all around them. There were lots of curious questions, careful looking and plenty of happy wagging tails. Well done, Year 1! 🐾✨

At @bevingtonw10 our Maths curriculum follows a mastery approach, giving pupils the time and experiences they need to build deep, secure mathematical understanding. This week’s shape walk helped children connect their learning to the real world, supporting them to recognise, describe and reason confidently about the shapes around them. It was brilliant to see their independence and enthusiasm shine through.

PE with a twist! This half term, Year 4 are developing their co-ordination, position and direction skills in PE. We will be challenging ourselves with a series of obstacle courses with a range of individual, paired or team tasks. In this lesson, we practiced climbing up onto a horse, balancing on beams, jumping over hurdles and weaving in and out of cones. These skills develop whole body awareness, promote whole body thinking and continue to refine balance and other gross motor skills. We finished the lesson with an activity called a trust fall. It was an invigorating session for us all!

Earlier this month, our Year 3 children enjoyed a fantastic guided tour at the National Gallery. They explored different types of portraits before sketching a rider for Whistlejacket, the famous horse painted by George Stubbs. Their creativity and attention to detail were brilliant to see.

Experiences like this sit at the heart of our wider curriculum at Bevington. We want every child to connect their classroom learning with real-world art, culture and history, helping them build knowledge, curiosity and confidence across the curriculum. 🎨🏛️💛

What a Saturday at Bevington! We’ve been incredibly lucky to have the amazing support of @earnt_ and @thehagenproject in school today. From painting classrooms and corridors, to building furniture, sweeping, and tidying up our garden beds – their hard work has made such a difference.

Look how many volunteers we had in! The time, care and energy they poured into our school has been incredible. We’re ever so grateful for the support and can’t wait to show off how wonderful everything looks to our whole community! 🌟🏫💛

Year 3 have been bursting with creativity this week! 🔢✨
For their maths homework, they invented their own number bond games – complete with rules, challenges, and brilliant problem-solving. Loved seeing all the imaginative ideas they came up with! 🎲🧠

Year 4 were very excited to meet a menagerie of animals as part of their @zoolabuk experience last week. We are currently studying classification in Science and we learnt a lot about the similarities and differences between the animals we encountered. Ken, our Zoo Lab keeper was so helpful and informative! Every student was very brave and tried something new. Mr Moorehead made a new slithery pal as well. This was such a great experience and a first for many. Say hello to Freddo!

Yesterday, our pupils commemorated Remembrance Day with a moment of reflection at 11am to honour those who have served and sacrificed. Children across the school also created thoughtful artwork to express their gratitude and remembrance. 🌺 #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #BevingtonW10

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed walking in the footsteps of Victorian British artist Frederick Leighton at the incredible #LeightonHouse. The children loved admiring the Arab Hall full of Islamic Art and calligraphy! They even had an opportunity to become calligraphers themselves by creating Arabic script!
