Space Week

As part of Science week, we have created our own planets using water colours and we used chalk to create our backgrounds. We also tried some foods that Astronauts would eat in Space. We tried different ‘Freeze dried’ fruits!


Super Chocolate Workshop

Today, we had a fabulous chocolate workshop to celebrate Black History Month. Our governor, Agnus Fough showed the children how chocolate is made and how it is transported to the UK. Then they tasted three different types of chocolate and voted which one that they liked the best. It was lots of fun and we all learnt a lot. Thank you Agnes!


Play Leader training

Our Year 6 play leaders completed their play leader training with Geoff and came up with lots of ideas of games they could play with the Year 1 and 2 pupils at break. They have some fantatasic ideas and we cannot wait to see them in action on the KS1 playground.


This weeks award winners are:

Well done to this weeks Head-Teacher and Good to be Green award winners. Well done to our Vocabulary ninja award winner who has been creating some super sentences using some excellent vocabulary. Keep up the great work everyone!


Settling into Year 1

We are so proud of how well our Year 1 children have settled into their new classes this term. They’ve made a fantastic start to Key Stage 1, and it's been lovely to see their confidence grow each day. To support a smooth transition from the Early Years, the children have been engaging in a mix of continuous provision, tabletop tasks, and short whole-class activities.


Reading behaviours

This week, we have been exploring our class text 'Supertato' and practising our reading behaviours. Great job everyone!
