Be Ready (Enrichment) – Foundation trip to Manor Farm
Tue 06 May 2025What a fantastic day! The children in foundation had an amazing trip to Manor Farm this week. The sun was shining and the children enjoyed exploring the farm and meeting all the different animals. They were able to stroke a snake and Guinea pig and learnt how to look after them. A fabulous day out and a great way to learn about the animals at the farm. Thank you to the parents who were able to attend and to the children for their behaviour on the day.

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Tue 06 May 2025This week, we used our assembly to introduce or Jigsaw (RHE) topic. This half-term’s topic is about relationships. We started the assembly with a biscuit and asked the children what ingredients you need to make a biscuit. We talked about what would happen if one of the ingredients was excluded from the recipe. We then made the link to relationships. We explored what they feel are the most important ingredients to make a healthy relationship and why they believed this. It was a great way for them to develop their oracy skills. We then moved it on to think about the types of relationships they have and what an unhealthy relationship would look like. It was a really positive assembly and great that the children knew what made a healthy relationship.

Growing together – OPAL play
Fri 02 May 2025We used some assembly time this week to remind the children of the OPAL expectations. We discussed how we can be safe, be kind and be ready and what this looks like during OPAL. We showed the children the images of the areas to highlight how each zone should look at the end of lunchtime so they are aware of the tidying expectations.
It was also very exciting in the garden this week. Lots of children saw the newts which are living in the pond.
We are still open for any donations. Please leave any donation in the bag hanging on the fence or larger items at the front of the school.
This week’s photos include a very impressive colosseum made from blocks and the playleaders helping the younger children create a den.

All our values – Year 4 residential
Fri 02 May 2025We waved goodbye to the children in year 4 on Wednesday morning as they set off for their year 4 residential. There were lots of very excited children. The year 4 residential is a great way for the children to spend some time together outside of the school environment and also do some activities that put them outside of their comfort zones. The children took part in a very tall climbing wall, the zip wire, raft building, the high ropes and many more fun experiences. They enjoyed some really lovely food through their stay and were exceptionally well-behaved. Thank you to the parents for supporting the trip and providing the children with all they needed, to the staff for giving up their time outside of school hours to make sure the children had a fantastic experience and to the children for their efforts over the past 3 days. A super residential

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Fri 02 May 2025This week, we had a catch up with the children about their experiences over the Easter holiday. It was really interesting to hear about all the wonderful things they have done over the last couple of weeks. We also talked to the children about St George’s Day. We discussed what the children knew about St George. Most knew about the dragon and saving a princess. We discussed with the children the likely origin of St George and how the story had become a legend over time. They were all interested in the fact that he likely had come from modern day Turkey and the amount of countries that have St George as a patron saint.

Caring for the environment – Year 5 Veolia trip
Fri 02 May 2025The children in year 5 enjoyed a trip to Veolia this week. This is always a super trip and reinforces their work on sustainability and how we recycle. Veolia staff showed the children around the site, spoke to them about the importance of recycling and what they do to ensure we protect the environment. A super trip and a great way to support their learning for next half term. I am already looking forward to the year 5 showcase of learning next half term.
