Year 2 started their new unit in English today ‘Little Red Reading Hood’. The first lesson was an experience day. They went for a walk around school looking for different places they would like to read.
A Busy Week in Y4!
What a wonderful 2nd week we have had in Year 4. Tasting fruits from Thailand, swimming, French lessons, searching for living things in the school's grounds, drawing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth and writing her a message of thanks and making Coco King from a coconut and a pineapple!
Tributes to the Queen
Mrs Ashcroft-Gardner is in London today and has taken down all the tributes that the children have made this week for the Queen. The children's thoughtful messages, pictures and prayers now lay alongside thousands of others as a mark of respect and celebration of the Queens remarkable life. A huge thank you to Mrs Ashcroft-Gardner for taking them for us and to the children and staff for their hardwork and meaningful messages. Rest in Peace your Majesty and thank you for your service.
Reception Class Worship
Today in class worship some of the children have drawn pictures to remember the Queen. Mrs Ashcroft-Gardner is going to take them to Buckingham Palace on Saturday.
Dealing with Grief
How do you deal with grief? It’s important that trusted adults feel able to help children and young people cope with grief –particularly at the moment, when we are mourning the loss of a public figure who was cherished by so many. This week, our first #WakeUpWednesday guide with The National College has practical tips to support children with the events of recent days.

Y2 PE
Y2 started the Gymnastics unit 'balance and co-ordination' today. The children worked so hard and used their growth mindset when balancing on the higher equipment. Well done Year 2!
Reception Class - Junior Jam!
We had a very exciting morning in Reception today as we had three new teachers join us from Junior Jam! Miss McDonald is our new music teacher. The children practiced playing the glockenspiel, listening to the high and low pitches that the instrument made. Mr Miakukila will be teaching us French this year. The class practiced how to say 'hello' and 'goodbye' today! And finally Mr B is our p.e teacher. Today we worked on call and response in Mr B's bean game! The children especially liked being 'jelly beans' jiggling across the playground. Junior Jam will hold these lessons every Tuesday morning, we have lots of fun and lots of learning ahead!
Y1 - RE - Harvest
Year one have enjoyed talking about Harvest in our R.E lesson today, and where all different types of food come from. Year one all tried 3 different types of apple and we loved the Pink Lady apples, they are lovely and sweet.
