Wow – what a beautiful day to finish on … Let’s hope the sunshine stays for the rest of the holidays!

We started our day by testing our stewardship skills with litter picking on the school field (as suggested by Edward) before spending some time making thank you and well done postcards for different people around school who have helped us this year. After break we enjoyed a chill movie time together to finish off our party food snacks from yesterday and we even managed to squeeze in a little bit of crew playtime before our early finish for this afternoon’s picnic. Phew … We are definitely ready for the holidays now!

I would just like to take a moment to say a huge thank you to both the children of Class 15 and their parents / carers for your support since I took over from Miss Barnett in February. I have loved teaching your children this year and being a part of their Green Top journey – I can’t wait to see how they get on in Year 6 and will be sure to shed a tear or two when they pass out in 2025. Go smash it guys!

Finally, a huge thank you for all of your lovely farewell gifts, they are all very much appreciated. Best wishes for an awesome summer break, Mrs Dutton x

This week in school, we are celebrating all things diversity!

In class 15, we took a look at the huge musical hit, Wicked and we thought about the different characters within it. Children worked in groups to roleplay a small part of the play, thinking carefully about the differences in the characters and their experiences as a result of these.

There was lots of talk about how we should respect and tolerate one another’s differences, and how important diversity is in our lives. Well done, everyone!

A huge well done to Robyn, Etta, Naomi and Charlie who have all made it to school every day since the Easter break – and a double well done goes to Charlie, Etta and Naomi for having 100% attendance across the whole of Year5… Well done guys, what an amazing achievement! As well as certificates, all our winners received some extra spending power at Mrs Fitz’s trolley of goodies … Definitely worth all those days in school!

Today we have joined the whole school by designing and painting our own rocks in readiness for a #kindnessrocks project which will come together in the new academic year. Children decorated their own rock with their personal artwork and positive message – all ready to be enjoyed by others next year. Take a look at the slideshow below to see your child’s beautiful rock … Well done everyone – you’ve all done an amazing job!

What a lovely second transition day we’ve had together – reading with parents, painting ‘kindness rocks’ and designing our own emotions character for our school competition … no wonder there were lots of tired children (and teachers!) going home tonight.

A big thank you to those of you who were able to join us for a read in our new classroom … We can’t wait to see you all in the new school year. Please find all your individual photos on a slideshow at the bottom of this blog – happy viewing 🙂

I’ve had a fabulous day with my new (but old!) class in our new Year 3 classroom. We’ve explored British Values and how we apply these in our school, as well as spend lots of time thinking about our feelings/emotions and the things we can do to help us regulate them ourselves.

Thank you for a fab day boys and girls – I can’t wait to get started with our KS2 learning after the summer holidays already!
