Last week was the first week of art club and as it was so cold we thought we would start with some lovely winter scenes. This week we decided to design the covers to our sketch books using an assortment of ways in which to make them colourful.

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

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?

Our Year Six class were lucky enough to have a visit from the Child-Centered Police Unit today, they came to speak to us about staying safe online! Our chat began with a question – “How many of you have access to online devices?”  It was nearly all of us! From phones, Ipads, Xbox, Playstations - the list was endless, we couldn’t believe it. During our lesson today we learnt all about: How can we keep ourselves safe online The fact that once something is sent, nothing is ever

To start our new English topic this term, we took part in an exciting hook activity. We followed clues hidden around the school hall to help us work out what our new class story would be. The clues included pink paper, a builder’s hat, straw, sticks, the number 3 and bricks. These clues got us thinking carefully and sharing our ideas with each other. Once we had gathered all the clues, we were able to work out that our new class text is The Three Little Pigs . We then read th

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.
