Welcome back to the start of term 5! The time is flying by and we have had some wonderful weather! The children have settled in well and are enjoying their new topics for the term.

Last term, the children in Larkhall were very busy, earning the most house points out of all four house groups. To celebrate, we had some fun in the sun! Well done, Larkhall!

Welcome back to a new term! We have started our new topic 'What a wonderful world' by focusing on our new class text 'We are water protectors' and wrote some super poems. Linked to this, we completed a science investigation about saving water. We found that if we left the tap on while we washed our hands, we used 3.5l of water compared to just 500ml if we turned the tap off! What a difference! In Maths we have continued to work on fractions (year 2), shapes (Reception) and po

This week, the children in Oak Class delved into the mysteries of Stonehenge. They explored the many theories about why it was built – whether as a giant calendar linked to astronomy, a place of healing, or a site for important ceremonies – and debated which explanations they found most convincing.  We are looking forward to our trip to Stonehenge next week!

Hazel Class have had a fantastic first week back and have returned with great enthusiasm for their learning.

In Maths, we’ve dived straight into our Fractions B topic with confidence, and in Art this week we’ve been developing our skills in tone and shading, producing some lov

It’s a bumper edition of the roundup this week! We held our Spring Concert on Tuesday- it was just magical to hear all of the children performing in the beautiful Swainswick church. Everyone did fantastically, and we were treated to a range of performances, including singing, instrumental performances and even a piece including technology! To see pictures, click here. Today, we’ve shared a wonderful walk across the Valley before coming together for our Easter Service in Wooll

Today, the sun was shining as we walked across the valley to Woolley. During our Easter service, we sang, listened to prayers and poems and heard from Reverend Cath, who shared an Easter reflection with us. It was lovely to spend time all together reflecting on the new life that Easter brings.

Hazel Class have come to the end of their DT topic this week, celebrating with some delicious strawberry smoothies and pesto pasta. The children were incredibly well behaved and showed great enthusiasm, fully engaging in the cooking activities. It was wonderful to see such fantastic teamwork, with everyone sharing, helping one another, and showing kindness throughout. Well done, Hazel Class!
