• Year 1 - The Biscuit Theif

  Thu 16 Apr 2026 Mrs I

  What a start to the term!

  Mrs McCann had a big problem. Someone had eaten all the biscuits and sweets she had bought for the staff. The tin was empty, but there were plenty of wrappers and crumbs left behind.

  She asked Year 1 to investigate. We followed the trail of crumbs and clues and visited the ICT room, the library, the scrap store and the music hut. Finally, we ended up in the office.

  That’s where we found Mrs Hill, still with a mouthful of biscuits! She was feeling very sick. Mrs McCann was thrilled that we had found the culprit, and Mrs Hill promised to replace all the biscuits. 

  

• Year 4 - What a week!

  Thu 16 Apr 2026

  It has been such a busy and happy week. The Year 4 's came back to school refreshed and raring to go. Monday started off with our new outdoor PE lesson where we are learning the skills of cricket. We got out all the PE equipment in the hall for our indoor PE lesson, for we are making the most of our time before swimming starts in May. 

  Thursday was a true treat as the whole school were invited to see the 'surprise' that was organised by Miss Norman for the reception children. We were even lucky enough to actually go inside the helicopter too! 

  School is such fun!

  Fri 27 Mar 2026

  Reception had an amazing time on their very first school trip today. We went to Maiden Castle Farm and saw tractors, a combine harvester and so many animals. Our highlight was meeting the baby lambs!
  
  What a brilliant way to finish the term. Have a fabulous Easter Holidays everyone and we look forward to welcoming you all back soon.

• Year 4 - Thank you for the music!

  Fri 27 Mar 2026

  And singing... And dancing... And acting. We wish to offer a huge congratulations to all the children who took part in our School-O-Vision Song Contest Production this week. The children and staff have worked tirelessly to create a spectacular performance! The school staff and children have buzzing with congratulations! Another busy week of finishing our narrative writing stories. The children are so creative! We have finished our fractions topic and we enjoyed playing the Pirate Game today. It is so lovely to finish the week giving out so many reading badges! The children deserve a well-earned rest! 

  

• Year 6 - Crumble making

  Thu 26 Mar 2026

  Year 6 have had a fantastic time this week making delicious crumbles. 

  

• Year 5 - Gaudi Mosaics

  Mon 23 Mar 2026

  Year 5 have been channelling their inner Antoni Gaudí this week by designing and making their own colourful mosaics. Using 1cm x 1cm coloured paper squares, pupils carefully arranged patterns and images inspired by Gaudí’s vibrant, nature‑influenced style. The children showed fantastic patience and creativity as they pieced together their designs, gradually watching their artworks come to life. The finished mosaics look amazing!

  

• Year 3 - soup making, cookery and gardening!

  Fri 20 Mar 2026

  Year 3 have enjoyed making some delicious tomato soup this week! They chopped onions and celery, weighed and measured, stirred and blended brilliantly. Well done to all our budding chefs.

   

  Outside, we planted sunflowers and look forward to planting tomatoes soon. We have enjoyed volleyball and netball in PE, and have been practising our persuasive language in planning a speech by Boudicca to rally the British tribes against the Roman invasion! Well done, Year 3 :-) 

  

• Year 4 - Play Performance and English

  Fri 20 Mar 2026

  This week, we have been super busy finalising our production. We have had lots of rehearsals and the children have worked so hard. Our first performance in front of an audience went very well and we are so excited to show you what we have achieved. No sneak peak pictures, just yet! In addition, our writing in English has been focused on our descriptive writing of character, setting and including dialogue. Our focus in Maths has continued to be fractions including adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers. Finally, we have finished our PSHE Rights and Respect topic and our RE topic regarding Christianity and Forgiveness.
