On Friday, we loved our arts festival with a variety of activities. We started off with Zumba and got right into it!
We then did some drumming and singing with Mrs Hardman!
We ended our arts festival with a great guitar session with Mr Pickles and rocked out with him!
And to round up our expedition product for the summer term, our final brownie drop was to the Moorends Family Hub! Thanking them for what they offer families in our community and helping children have the best start in life.
Next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be heading into the community to deliver some delicious brownies they will have baked with our cook Michael. These are to say thank you to special people in our community! Some of the places that the children will be delivering to are the local food bank, the charity shop and Little Bunnies playgroup.
We would love it if we could take further donations with us to support these places and charities further. We will be looking for donations such as:
The children will be taking the items brought in and need to carry them so please nothing too big or heavy.
As always, we appreciate your support with helping our local community further!
Year 3/4 are excited to celebrate their learning from this term for our expedition ‘From bean to bar: What is the cost of a bar of chocolate?’
Please join us on Thursday 4th July at 4.30pm to celebrate. More details will follow soon!
The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.
There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
At the end of this week we will be doing our spelling touchdown, if you could encourage children to practise these, that would be great! Feel free to send picture of them working hard for some HOWL points too.. Thank you, the Year 3 team!

WOW what a fun morning year 3 have had! Mr Kershaw taught the children how to make brownies in oranges and cook them on the fire. The children practised fire safety and cooking all in the same lesson.
The children had a brief introduction to the popular Mayan City, Chicken Itza and the importance of the pyramid, El Castillo.
They then looked at some oil pastel techniques to recreate their own version of this.
Here they are in action, their final pieces were wonderful, hopefully we will get some of the finished ones uploaded soon ☺️.
This term, year 3 get the exciting opportunity to develop their outdoor skills the expertise of our outdoor lead, Mr Kershaw!
Please can we remind all parents/carers to ensure that the children bring their XP outdoors kit with them every Wednesday.
