They decorated the wooden base using the designs they planned last week before carefully bending the metal wire to create a challenging course. They thought carefully about the level of difficulty, making sure their game would be fun without being too easy or too hard. The children also created the hook that players will guide around the wire. They can't wait to build the electrical circuits that will mak

After an amazing season, the boys found themselves in the quarter finals of the cup against Moat Farm Junior School. The boys started well, defending as a unit and creating some good chances, hitting the post midway through the first half. Moat Farm also offered a threat causing our keeper to make some good saves. Half time, 0 - 0. We spoke at half time about wanting to see a bit more energy from the lads. Unfortunately, our energy was lacking in the second half, meaning Moat

What a fantastic day our children had on their visit to London and the Houses of Parliament!

This gave everyone a real insight into

In Gardening Club, the children enjoyed the beautiful weather and spent time outside caring for our garden by pulling out weeds and helping to keep the area tidy. They then used natural materials they found, such as sticks, leaves, stones, flowers, and moss, to create their own miniature gardens. Making miniature gardens encourages children to use their imagination and creativity while exploring the natural world. It helps them develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abili

Year 4 have been busy getting creative as they designed and made special Father's Day cards for the important people in their lives. The children created superhero-themed cards, using their cutting, folding and decorating skills to produce unique designs. On the outside, the cards looked like smart shirts, but when opened they revealed a colourful superhero emblem inside. The children coloured in their cards and added thoughtful messages to show their appreciation for their d

We’ve just left London after a fantastic afternoon of sightseeing in the sunshine! The children have been amazing and have walked over 4 miles today. We enjoyed a play in the park at St James’s Park and even had a front-row view of the Changing of the Guard thanks to a very kind police officer. As we sit back and relax after our long but brilliant day, the teachers would like to say a huge thank you to all of the children for their impeccable manners. We even had members of t

Our Year 3 busy bees had a great time retelling the story of the Three Little Pigs outside, ready for their golden write of retelling the story. The small group role played as the different characters and really enjoyed finding examples of sticks, bricks and straw that could be the pigs houses. They also pretended to be the wolf falling down the chimney! We can't wait to share their lovely writing.

Children enjoyed a very important water safety assembly delivered by a lifeguard from our local swimming pool. The assembly taught children how to stay safe in and around water, particularly during the warmer months when more people visit rivers, lakes, canals, and other open water areas. The lifeguard explained the dangers of swimming in open water and shared practical advice on what to do in an emergency. Children learned about the importance of only swimming in supervised

Year 5 have been exploring the relative sizes of the planets in our solar system using play dough and rulers. The children were amazed by how little matter Mercury has compared to the other planets! They found dividing the play-dough "sausage" into fifths quite challenging, as there was so little to work with. It was wonderful to see great measuring skills, problem-solving, and perseverance in action throughout the lesson.
