Time and Plaice!
A huge thank you to Time and Plaice who provided our tea completely free of charge at our Year 5 camping event! We are so grateful for your kindness and generosity and the children said the food was better than Gordon Ramsay’s! Thank you!
FWB, Class 6, day 2.
Another smashing day in our new class! Smores and singing in Camp Green Top with Mr Kershaw, more craft activities with our wonderful Young Learning Coaches – who are already proving invaluable – and our proud postcard winners, Rueben and Lennox. More of the same tomorrow kids? Don’t mind if I do!
Year 5 Camp has begun!
Nursery XP outdoors – PIZZA MAKING
A very lovely afternoon spent with Mr Kershaw for our XP Outdoors session. The children learnt about fire safety, how to keep a fire burning and how to make a pizza using tortilla wraps, tomato and herb sauce and cheese. The children then cooked them with care on the fire and enjoyed eating them once they were all oozy and warm. What a delicious treat for a Monday afternoon!
A huge shout out to all of the Nursery children for their excellent listening skills and awareness of the danger of fire which meant we could have an exciting experience safely.
XP Outdoors – Year 5 workshop
Today, our Year 5 Crews headed down to the XP Outdoors workshop for an exciting hands-on session in tool work. Working together, they learned how to safely split logs using axes and practiced their whittling techniques with knives. It was a brilliant opportunity to build confidence, and show respect for the tools — all while having fun outdoors!

We had so much fun today with Mr Kershaw and the parachute. We played lots of fun games and we worked hard as a crew.
Well done everyone for working so hard.

XP Outdoors- Year 5 Stretcher Making
This morning, our Year 5 crews took on a hands-on challenge that put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test. Tasked with rescuing an “injured” team member, each crew was given only one tool: rope.
With creativity and cooperation, the students worked together to design and build makeshift stretchers strong enough to carry their injured teammate to safety. It was fantastic to see the collaboration, communication, and critical thinking on display as they turned simple rope into a life-saving device.
Well done to all the Year 5 crews for showing such determination and teamwork!
Reception XP Outdoors
We are so lucky that on a Tuesday Mr Kershaw comes to do an XP outdoors session. This week we had to work together as a Crew to try and get the water to flow down the pipes without spilling any.
It was so tricky but we managed to keep our cool and have loads of fun trying to solve the problem.
A few soggy toes at the end but it was more than worth it!
Well done everyone and a huge thank you to Mr Kershaw.

XP Outdoors in Nursery
This week the children have loved Mr Kershaw’s visit to Nursery. The children had to work as a team and maintain excellent communication skills to hold the pipes in the required position for the water to flow through to the end. At times the pipe fell and water spilled. The children had to think critically and make changes for the water to flow without spilling. It was a big challenge! I was so proud of all of the children and their awesome attitude towards this challenge. No frustration – just team work and a few soggy toes!
