REMINDER – Nursery Cinderella-inspired Ball

4th June 2025Elizabeth Hay

We are delighted to invite you to our EYFS Presentation of Learning for the Nursery children, taking place on Wednesday 25th June from 1.15 – 2pm.

During this special event, the children will showcase their learning journey from our Expedition, “Once Upon a Time,” as they explore the Guiding Question: “Who is hiding in the pages of our book?” To celebrate their learning, we will be hosting a Cinderella-inspired Ball as part of the presentation.

In preparation, the children have been designing and creating their own tickets for the Ball. We kindly ask for a £5 donation per ticket, to be paid via ParentPay, which includes entry for the child, two accompanying adults, refreshments and the product that they have helped to make this term which they can then take home with them.

The Ball promises to be a magical occasion, featuring a red carpet entrance, a ballroom dance performance, photo booth opportunities, refreshments, and perhaps even a surprise guest appearance! It will be a joyful and memorable way to mark the end of the Summer term.

We very much look forward to seeing you there and celebrating the children’s achievements together.

Warm regards,
Mrs Burton & Mrs Hay

Crew Rodgers Magic Maths Shout Out!

3rd June 2025Jayne Rodgers

Yet another super-proud teacher moment in Crew Rodgers this morning as we marked our weekly Magic Maths quiz. The test comprises of five addition and three 10 times table equations which need to be completed within 30 seconds to help improve the speed of the children’s calculation skills. Although our Crew has made massive improvements to our results since we began the tests last September we have never had everyone achieving perfect scores…until today that is!

As we marked each equation together the excitement built and built as we realised we were all getting every answer correct and after the final answer was announced the room erupted. The children were jumping around hugging each other and one little boy was heard to say, “Its just like Christmas!”

I couldn’t be prouder of my little maths wizards and the way they celebrated their achievements with their Crew mates!

Class 10 – We are Scientists!

3rd June 2025Claire Dutton

Today, we worked collaboratively to put on our science caps and investigate the properties of different rocks. We found that granite would make a great kitchen worktop because it was very hard and didn’t scratch. We also discovered that slate makes a great roof tile because it is impermeable but that chalk would be useless for an outdoor statue given how quickly it reacts to white vinegar, which is a bit like the tiny bits of acid found in rainwater. Fascinating!

To add to our learning, Beau & Eli found a wide range of rocks in our school’s garden area which they investigated themselves and then shared with the rest of the class. Well done boys!

Y5 Mining Expert visit was AMAZING!

3rd June 2025Sarah Walton

Our children were extremely lucky to have a morning visit from Eddie and Tony, who are mining experts. We were wowed with mining tales, had the chance to view real life artefacts and hear all about their uses and asked lots of useful questions to support our learning. Eddie and Tony were such informative hosts and we are so thankful for their time and information!
