Here is a whole group photograph of children in Years 3 and 4 from all the Primary schools in our trust visiting the Wildlife park on Thursday! It was so lovely to be there with the crews from the other schools, there was a real buzz around the park! Lovely memories made too!
After reading the first two chapters outside, we retreated back in to our toasty warm classrooms for a yummy hot chocolate and to write some fantastic predictions about what we believe will happen in our text.
We’d like to make a shout out to all of the children for their excellent listening skills and for sitting so sensibly- you were all super stars! It was a really lovely experience!

WOW! What an awesome day we’ve had! I’m so pleased with how engaged and excited all the children have been throughout all the Music themed activities linking to our case study.
We began the day by designing CD’s linking to our learning around climate change to immerse our classroom.
We then researched Music through the ages. Each group focussed on music from a different decade and used the IPads to research and create a mood board!
Then the moment we’d all been waiting for… KARAOKE! We were all blown away by how brave and confident everyone were to get up and sing in front of everyone! What an absolutely brilliant afternoon!
Year 4 have kick started Hook Week with a lovely walk around our community today.
We focussed on what is beautiful in our community and what we think is spoiling it.
The children were really reflective in their responses and also enjoyed the fresh air chatting and catching up after Christmas! There was a lovely, buzzing Crew spirit today!
The children then made pledges about what they are going to do to keep our local community beautiful! Super start Year 4!
Well done to Abbie and Damion for winning our two Christmas competitions! The winning elf name was ‘Cinnamon’ and the total number of candy canes was 52. We managed to raise a fantastic total to go towards our Year 6 leavers fund so thank you for all of your donations.
The children have created a critique that they wanted to share;
I notice- we have learnt how to do high touches and low touches
we have learnt how to pass the ball closer and further
I praise- we now feel confident to collaborate with bigger groups to master these skills.
we have remembered the importance of looking up
I wonder- if we can get smart by remembering all of the skills we’ve practised this term and always remember to keep moving, be open and find space.
Last Friday, children were encouraged to wear a Christmas jumper and donate money to fundraise for the ‘Save the Children’ charity. As a school, we managed to raise an incredible £286 which will go towards helping many different families this Christmas. Thank you for the generosity of all who donated money!
Well done to our four winners in the Children in Need competition. Your entries were amazing!
Tomorrow, members of the school council will be going around school selling entries for our two Christmas competitions: ‘Guess the name of the elf’ and ‘Guess the number of candy canes.’ Entries cost 50p each and the winner will win either an elf teddy or the box of candy canes.
We will also be selling packets of ‘Reindeer Food’ for 50p each. Please send any money in tomorrow and throughout the week if you are wanting to enter the competition. Winners will be announced on Friday morning. Thank you.
