Class 13 – We are Design Technologists!

This week, we have begun our DT Expedition and have designed and completed two prototypes for our final product.

Today, the children followed specific guidelines to complete their second prototype. They used their reflection and critique from yesterdays first draft to make adjustments. A huge shoutout to Imogen for her second prototype. She followed the guidelines ensuring that her measurements were accurate and could confidently use her protractor to measure 45degree angles.

I can’t wait to see everyones final designs tomorrow!

Reception Presentation of Learning – Teddy Bears Birthday Party.

We would like to invite Reception parents to our Presentation of Learning on Monday 24th November 2025 at 2-3pm in the hall. Please arrive through the Ash tree road entrance and we will open the gates at 2pm.

 We ask that you bring a teddy bear and a picnic to share with your child for our Teddy Bears birthday Party. This can just be a light snack as children will have already had their dinner at 11.30 as normal. We hope that you can join us.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Extended Study – What do you know about the British Values?

Over the next three weeks, our Extended Study is going to be a project focussing on the British Values!

Before we start, take some time to recap the British Values and what you already know about each one.

How many can you remember? What do each of them mean?

Can you create a poster, leaflet, a set of slides to share with your crew about your knowledge or your new learning linking to the British Values.

Use some of the links below to help you:

I can’t wait to see everyone sharing their knowledge of the British Values in crew next week!!

The Green Top Community Awards Ceremony 2025.

We would love for you all to come and enjoy this fantastic event with us all. We have sent out invitations to our award winners, we have organised food, we have written speeches and we have prepared our artwork to go onto the medals. We can’t wait for this special night.

We hope to see as many of you as possible next Thursday afternoon! If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s teacher.

Dress up donations!

In the run up to Christmas, there will be performances across school which require costumes. We appreciate these can be costly and so ask if anyone has any old Nativity style costumes hidden away somewhere that could be donated to school. Year 3/4 in particular would be extremely grateful for any larger costumes for the older children to support our special Christmas performance.

Thank you in advance!
