Year 6's Big Adventure Awaits! 🎉

What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of SATs! I'm absolutely thrilled to share that our wonderful Year 6 pupils will be heading off to PGL Marchants Hill in Surrey for an adventure they'll never forget.

After all their hard work and dedication during SATs week, our Year 6s have truly earned this exciting residential trip. PGL Marchants Hill offers the perfect opportunity for them to challenge themselves with new activities, build even stronger friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime , all while having an absolute blast!

From high ropes and zip wires to team-building challenges and evening entertainment, the children will experience activities that build confidence, resilience, and independence. It's these experiences beyond the classroom that help shape our pupils into well-rounded young people ready for their next adventure at secondary school.

I know our Year 6 team will take excellent care of them, and I can't wait to hear all about their adventures when they return.

Here's to our amazing Year 6s, you've worked so hard, and you absolutely deserve this wonderful experience. Have the most incredible time!

Look out for photos on our instagram page and in next week's newsletter! 📸

Year 1 had a wonderful visit to the Science Museum! The children explored The Garden, where they investigated water, light, sound, and building activities through hands-on play.

They also enjoyed visiting the Pattern Pod, discovering patterns, shapes, colours, sounds, and movement through exciting interactive displays.

As part of our History learning, the children were excited to see examples of early flight, including learning more about the Wright brothers and the famous Montgolfier brothers hot air balloon flight. 

It was a fantastic opportunity to bring their classroom learning to life!

This term in PE, Year 2 took part in many exciting activities that helped them build their physical skills, teamwork, and confidence. The children practised balancing, throwing and catching, agility, coordination, and simple team games. They also enjoyed dance and movement activities.

Throughout the term, the children showed great enthusiasm and determination while learning new skills. They improved their ability to work together, listen carefully to instructions, and show kindness and fairness during games and activities. It has been lovely to see their confidence grow and to watch them encourage and support each other.

Well done to all of the children for their hard work, positive attitudes, and excellent effort during PE lessons this term. We are very proud of the progress they have made!

Walking Like an Egyptian!

Year 4 brought their classroom learning to life with an exciting trip to the British Museum. As part of their Ancient Egypt topic, the children explored fascinating artefacts, discovered how people lived thousands of years ago, and learnt more about mummies, hieroglyphics, and pharaohs. The visit gave pupils a wonderful opportunity to deepen their understanding through hands-on experiences and sparked lots of curiosity and enthusiasm for history!

Year 5 have enthusiastically begun exploring the beautiful book The Whale by Vita Murrow. Using the striking front cover as inspiration, the children applied their inference skills to ask thoughtful open-ended questions and suggest possible answers, carefully justifying their ideas using clues from the illustration. Alongside this, the class explored the meaning of the term hoax and discussed how stories and appearances can sometimes be misleading. In Maths, Year 5 have started preparing for the transition into Year 6 by developing their understanding of highest common factors and lowest common multiples, using reasoning and problem-solving skills to tackle increasingly challenging calculations. Also a reminder to please come down to watch our class performance: The Art of Locking In on Thursday 21st May at 10:30! The children have worked really hard and can’t wait to share it with their family!
