PE will be on Tuesday this term. Please send in outdoor kit and trainers so we can make use of our playground while we still have good weather. We suggest that you send in PE kit on Monday morning and we will keep it in school until Friday. In this way we have a change of clothes for the children should it be needed.
Many thanks

Another fantastic day today to round off our first week back. We continued our climate emergency learning by studying what is happening to our ice-caps because of global warming caused in part by the actions of human beings. We played with our own iceberg and made posters and a flyer to show what we had learned. We are also in the process of editing a video which also sends the important message of looking after our beautiful world.
See you next week class 6 x
Next week Key Stage One will be continuing their community work within the local area, each class will be out on a visit each afternoon, as follows:
Mon – Class 8
Tues – Class 6
Wed – Class 7
Thur – Class 5
We are also looking forward to a visit from our local councillor, Susan Durant, on Wednesday morning where we will be able to ask questions about her work with the local food bank.
Then on Friday, children are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite superhero (fictional or real-life) and we will be hosting a family learning event in the afternoon (1.30 – 2.30) where parents and carers can enjoy a range of hero-themed activities with the Key Stage. We hope you can attend and we look forward to seeing you there! Further details will be shared with you on Monday. Please note that dress-up is optional for the children.
A huge thanks go out to my little superstars for another amazing day in our new class. We are all now getting used to the new class norms and following them more consistently and have begun to put together the final product for our expedition slice – How does what I do impact others? Watch this space for the culmination of our hard work this week.
Well done to our postcard winners today – Willow and Kole from Crew Rodgers and Lochlan and Lexi from Crew Stone. Great job guys!
Today we continued to answer our guiding question – How does what I do impact others? – by gathering discarded materials on our playground and sorting them into categories ready for recycling. We learned about the 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – and discussed ways we could put this into practise to improve our environment. We played a memory game in crew, used number fans to answer maths calculations, recapped more phonic sounds, continued with our guided reading activity, danced, played and sang songs. Take a look at the slideshow below to get an idea of just how hard we have worked today. As promised there are also photographs from yesterday’s XP Outdoors session too.
If we carry on as we have begun I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing year!
In addition to this a huge well done to Nevaeh, Henry and Grace, who were proud to receive today’s postcards for their Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind attitudes.
Keep it up guys!
How impressed I was by the grown up way Class 6 have settled into their new class today! We began with a fantastic crew session where we worked as a team to play the Hula-Hoop game – see below for pictures, re-capped on some phonics learning and began our expedition slice with the guiding question – How does what I do impact others? We listened to the story of Messy Magpie and discussed how dropping litter and not recycling our waste can have an effect on others as well as ourselves. After lunch we did some guided reading and then enjoyed a fantastic XP outdoors team game lead by Mr Kershaw (photos to follow). We ended the day with a lovely story and a crew session where we talked about all we had done.
I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow superstars!
I am so proud of the learning that has happened in key stage 1 this year. The children have risen to the challenge and gone above and beyond with the products that they have made this year and I will forever be grateful for the support from our parents to help celebrating these fantastic achievements.
At the picnic tomorrow, which starts at 12.30, we will have 2 of our amazing products on sale for parents to buy. We have the beautiful recipe books, which feature the children’s writing, photographs and work. There will also be our newest product…the reusable bag, with a self portrait of every child in key stage 1 on, which they sketched this term. I have bought one to use for myself next year too!
we hope you love them as much as we do!
thanks again for all of your support this year

Just when I thought I couldn’t be prouder of this bunch of superstars, today happened! It’s hard to believe that just 10 and a half months ago these shy, quiet little people came into my classroom, all wide-eyed and unsure of what to expect and look at them now! Confident, polite and hard-working, ready to face the challenges of year two.
Happy graduation day class 7. I wish you all nothing but the best for your future!
I sure will miss you. 🥺
History week ‘blasted off’ to an amazing start today as we celebrated the 54th anniversary of the launch of the Saturn 5 rocket and the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon. We will be following the mission in real time day by day until the actual touch down on the moon’s surface on the 20th of July.
In year 1, we thought about how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins felt as they embarked upon their historic journey and related this to our giant leap into year 2 and how that made us feel. We talked about the qualities we have developed this year such as kindness, hard work, friendship and resilience, and how we can carry these with us as we continue our own journey through Green Top.
During our transition days we will be studying another famous astronaut, Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. The other key stages will learn about other astronauts and each will produce a fact file. I can’t wait to see everyone’s efforts!
A huge congratulations to everyone in key stage one today you have all worked your little socks off this year and you should all be really proud of yourselves. 🥹Also a huge well done to our certificate winners and crew Rodgers for winning the attendance!! Todays assembly was a little emotional as it’s the last time year 2 get to sing our special song at the end. 🥰
