It’s been a great week. Shuffle up day took place on Thursday, where children got to spend time in their new classes. There were some lovely get to know you activities- one class told two truths and a lie, and everyone had to guess what was true and what was a lie. This sparked some exciting and lively discussion! Red Kites spent time learning about the red kite in the afternoon and produced some beautiful artwork- we are looking forward to seeing this displayed in September.

Wow! What a fantastic event! Huge thanks to Friends for arranging, for everyone who helped in advance and on the day to pull the event together and everyone who attended. Highlights included the tomblola, craft stalls, candyfloss machine, tin can game run by Evie, face painting, guess the staff member from their baby pictures, bash the rat, coconut shy and of course the cafe and raffle! The weather couldn't have been better and we had a great time, raising a whopping £842.78!

What an unusual weather week it's been! From heat to storms, it's been a week like no other. Thank you all for your support with keeping cool in school- sunhats, water bottles and suncream have made a big difference. We've been enjoying playtimes and lunchtimes in the shade, quiet games and activities, cooling foot-spas and even the odd wet paper towel as a headdress! To see some pictures, click here. Today we have received lots of bottles for the summer fair, and it has been

Apple class have focused on their DT project this week: moving Father's Day cards! We started by evaluating existing cards, thinking about the positives and negatives of each design. We then investigated how to make something move in a card and explored levers and simple mechanical systems before making our own. (see the pictures below). After that it was time for the big task of designing and making our own cards. We won't share the final products here yet, we don't want to

It's been another soggy week, but each class has been busy, busy, busy! Our Christian value for the term is compassion. In celebration assembly this week, we talked about why we show compassion. Jesse suggested that if we show compassion to other people, they will show compassion to us. We discussed the quote " Compassion is at the heart of everything we do...to lose our compassion is to lose what it is to be human", and then watched a video about a person who showed compass

Apple class have continued our focus on science, learning about more inventors and conducting more investigations! We started by learning about Thomas Edison and investigated how we can make our own circuits We then moved on to Maggie Aderin-Pocock, a scientist who worked on the Aeolus project, a satellite which investigates wind speed to help measure climate change. Although we don't have access to the satellite, we investigated wind direction by making our own weather vanes
