STEM Challenge with Miss Schon

On Tuesday we had so much fun taking part in the STEM challenge. The children who came to work with me were absolutely amazing. Their behaviour was awesome and they were extremely committed to the task, I think they would have carried on building their bridges all day! They were brilliant at recognising any flaws in their design and making adaptions. I had a wonderful day spending time with them all and I loved observing new friendships forming. Here they are with their bridges!

Year 6 Leavers Party 2025

Wow what an amazing day we have had celebrating our fabulous year 6 children. To finish off our week of treats and celebrations, we enjoyed a Hawaii themed party. A fantastic time was had by all – face paint, takeaway, ice cream, singing, a dance off, football and even a little singing from Mr Ambler! We had so much fun and never stopped smiling and laughing all evening. Check out the photos below – some people were a little camera shy and wouldn’t visit the photo booth so hopefully we managed to catch everyone at some point!

Drone photo

Recently, we captured a truly heartwarming moment with a drone photo that brought our whole school community together—from our smallest nursery children to our Year 6 leaders. In a striking display of unity and creativity, the children formed the word ‘Compassion’ on the school field, one of our core Character Traits. Seeing every child take part in spelling out such a powerful value was a moving reminder of the spirit that runs through our school: kindness, empathy, and care for others. The aerial shot not only showcases our pupils’ teamwork but also reflects the compassionate culture we nurture every day.

Bridge building with Mrs Shaw

Yesterday I worked with children from year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to see who could work together to build the strongest bridge out of art straws. It was lots of fun seeing the children mix with different people but I also loved us testing the bridges out at the end! Great work everyone who came to my room!

Team Rodgers build a bridge

It was lovely to spend time with some of the children from other year groups today as we came together as a team to meet Mr Mumby’s bridge building challenge. We used art straws, tape, elastic bands and string to create bridges strong enough to hold a large can of beans. It was wonderful to see the children helping each other and working together to create the bridges, showing all of our character traits.

So proud of you all!
