What an amazing afternoon we have had for our family forest school!

We were very excited to show our families what we get up to at forest school - we made bird feeders to hang in the trees, built fantastic dens using natural materials and made a bug hotel for all of the creepy crawlies. We…

The Infant class have been magnificent meteorologists this week! We looked at the weather for the previous week and talked about the temperatures and types of weather that had been recorded, then we used this to make our own weather forecast for the week ahead. We thought carefully about how the…

In Years 3 & 4 on Friday 22nd October we'll be designing and making our own model sukkahs as a final task in our RE lessons learning about the Jewish Sukkot. Children have been challenged to find a medium sized cereal /shoe box and some natural materials to decorate their sukkahs. They might also…

Today the Infant class held their first ever class assembly - we were so brave and confidently read our lines in front of all of our families and the rest of the school. 

It was exciting to share all of the fabulous things we have been learning this half term, like writing letters to Supertato,…

What a way to kick start our team tournaments for 2021/2022 with a wet and windy rugby event! Having had a few years away from external tournaments, we were set ready to go. The children had been working hard over the last few weeks, practising their rugby skills and building up team spirit. We…

In Year 3/4 today the children have been exploring what an electric circuit is and how to make one. To challenge their scientific minds, the children have been predicting if different drawings of circuits will make a bulb light up. The children had to think carefully about what they already knew…

We have been finding our way around the Bible to see what it has to teach us about Harvest.

Our favourite passage as a class was from Genesis 8:22,

“As long as the earth continues,

There will be planting and harvest.

Cold and hot,

summer and winter,

Day and night

The infants celebrated a very special occasion in church today - Baby Poppy was baptised!

What a…

Our new school year has got off to a brilliant start and we have gelled together as a class amazingly. Everyone's working super hard and we're having lots of fun at the same time. One of our English topics is fables and so to get to know some of them, we worked in groups to act out some of…

On Wednesday we had a wonderful time. We spent the whole day outside learning team building skills at Forest school with Mrs Kearns and Miss Gill. We were given a challenge: to build a wash bowl stand and draining platform. The only materials we were give were 15 bamboo canes, string and a bowl;…

We've had a football-filled day of fun! From creating team posters to creating a collaborative picture, from finding facts about players in the Euros to playing football all afternoon, we've had a great time. After all that, there was only one way to finish the day and that was with a loud class…

All the infants took part in all the races on thankfully a dry afternoon, including the egg and spoon race, the sack race and sprinting. They were all amazing! All the points won will be added together with the scores from the other classes and our Sports Day Team Champions 2021 will be announced…
