Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break and are feeling refreshed and ready for what promises to be an exciting summer term at Vauxhall Primary.

This term is always one of my favourites – the days are longer, the weather is (hopefully!) warmer, and our school really comes alive with energy and enthusiasm. We have so much to look forward to, including exciting school trips, after-school clubs, and visits from special guests who will inspire and engage our children.

Our children have made fantastic progress this year, and I'm incredibly proud of their hard work and resilience. 

Behind the scenes, our staff team will also be undertaking important training to ensure we continue to provide the very best support for every child. Their dedication to professional development means your children benefit from the highest quality teaching and care.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we're making Vauxhall Primary a wonderful place for every child to learn, grow, and thrive.

Here's to a brilliant summer term!

In Eagle Class, the children returned to school enthusiastic and ready to engage with their writing. The lesson began with the teacher in role as Mrs Venders, a retired publisher, who explained that a set of mysterious illustrations had been left to her to publish. The children were invited to help create a book titled The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, according to Eagle Class.

The illustrations, along with separate title and caption cards, were placed on the tables. The children explored the images, matching them to the correct titles and captions while discussing and justifying their ideas, supported by guiding questions on the board.

They then chose one illustration and wrote a summary of the story they imagined, using past tense and conjunctions to show time and cause. The children showed strong creativity and engagement, producing thoughtful and imaginative responses.
