Ducklings have been developing their early maths skills by exploring and recognising number patterns. The children focused on identifying numbers using dice patterns, helping them to link quantities with numerals. To apply this learning, the children worked in pairs to play a simple track game. They took turns rolling a dice, counting the spots and moving their counters along the track. The aim was to reach number 10 first. This engaging, hands-on activity, supported the EYFS

The Ducklings were excited when a sports coach came to visit and introduce them to the fun side of golf. The children learned the basics of how to hold a club and were encouraged to explore the game in a relaxed, playful way. With lots of smiles and laughter, they practised guiding the ball and discovering how control and movement work together. The session was filled with enthusiasm as the Ducklings gained confidence, tried something new and enjoyed learning through active p

Last week, our Ducklings enjoyed a very exciting sports morning as we headed across to the Three Hills to join the Play Leaders from Turner Free School. The children had the opportunity to explore 14 different activity stations, each carefully designed to get them moving, active and having lots of fun. Throughout the morning, the children developed their gross motor skills as they practised bouncing and catching balls, stacking speed cups, running and jumping and dribbling an

Before Christmas, the children took part in a wonderfully creative Artist Day, which blossomed into a truly special festive event for our whole school community. During the day, each class learned about a famous artist, explored their unique style, and used this inspiration to design and create their own beautiful Christmas tree decorations. These unique pieces of artwork were then displayed on Christmas trees throughout the church for our after-school Christmas Tree Trail. S

Have you ever thought about the differences between sounds that musical instruments can make? Some are loud, some are quiet, some are tricky to play, others appear more simple! In our assembly today that's exactly what we did! We had a range of instruments and thought about the sounds these made, were they the same or were they different? After this we played together as a band - our instruments made very different sounds but they worked together. So what was the underlying m

We ended the term in the most special way with our annual Carol and Christingle Service, held on Friday afternoon at St Mary and St Eanswythe’s Church. As we arrived, families were welcomed into the church by our school Christmas choir, who have spent much of December spreading festive cheer throughout the local community. The choir have been visiting care homes and supermarkets, sharing popular Christmas songs and traditional hymns, and it was a joy to see them open our serv

Today the whole school went to our local cinema, Silver Screen, to watch Zootopia 2. We were very lucky to still be able to visit this side of Christmas as the cinema has been closed for ages to accommodate some building works, they just re-opened in time for us this morning. Everyone had a great time and were extremely well behaved.

This week, the Ducklings took to the stage for their first nativity. They were all true stars and performed with such confidence and courage. They were brave, learned their songs and actions brilliantly, and put on a terrific show. The children who had lines worked especially hard to remember them, come in at the right time, and speak loudly enough to be heard. We are so proud of how well they all did, and the true message of Christmas shone through as they retold the birth o
