Where will our Adventure take us?

Happy New Year everybody! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We will be beginning the New Year with our topic 'Where will our adventure take us?' During Spring term 1, we will be exploring Piracy. We will be taking part in a Pirate themed day on Tuesday 6th February. Your child can come to school dressed as a Pirate on this day and we will be taking part in lot's of cross curricular activities. Please see our Spring term 1 medium term plan for our curriculum overview and the creative home learning grid for some fun cross curricular activities to complete at home.


Healthy Wraps

Today, as part of our design and technology focus, the children used their cutting, folding, grating and peeling skills to create healthy wraps. The children were encouraged to try new foods to help their understanding of a balanced diet. The children ate their wraps and evaluated them. Brillliant job year 2, some noticable cooks! 


Great Fire of London Outdoor Learning

Year 2 enjoyed cooking damper bread and making s'mores as part of their topic The Great Fire of London. The children made houses based on the wooden ones from Pudding Lane and we found out how quickly the fire can spread from one house to another when they are close together.

Urban Dance Festival

Well done to all the children who took part in the Urban Dance Festival yesterday. We came 4th overall and also won a Team Spirit Award. Our year 6 children couldn't wait to hold the huge trophy today. 


Disney Football Fest

Some of our Year 2 girls took part in the Disney Football Fest on Thursday. They loved dressing up as their favourite Disney characters and played some great football matches against Parochial and Hurst Knoll winning both of their games without conceding any goals. Well done girls! 


Planting new vegetable seeds

In Gardening Club we have sown some seeds ready for the spring. We are looking forward to tasting our coriander, radishes and sprouts. Next week we will plant some more vegetables to make some vegetable soup.
