Celebrating Mrs Tagg's Retirement

We have some bittersweet news to share with you all.

After an incredible 19 years and 11 months of dedicated service to Vauxhall Primary School, Mrs Tagg has retired.

For nearly two decades, Mrs Tagg has touched the lives of countless children and families in our school community. Her warmth, dedication and commitment to our pupils have been truly remarkable  and she will be greatly missed by staff, children and parents alike.

We know many of you will want to join us in showing our appreciation for everything Mrs Tagg has done for our school. We are collecting for a retirement gift to thank her for her wonderful years of service.

If you would like to contribute, please bring cash donations to the school office by Friday 8th May.  All contributions, no matter how small, will be warmly received.

Thank you for helping us give Mrs Tagg the send off she deserves. We wish her a very happy and well-deserved retirement.

This week, our pupils have been busy exploring the fascinating world of habitats and microhabitats. In class, they learned about the different environments where plants and animals live, and how these spaces provide everything living things need to survive.

To bring this learning to life, we headed outdoors to investigate habitats right on our doorstep. The children explored the playground and surrounding local area, carefully observing and identifying places where living things might be found. From under logs and leaves to grassy patches and hedges, they discovered a variety of microhabitats and discussed the creatures that might call them home.

We also took time to appreciate our local area and all it has to offer. Being so close to Vauxhall Station gives us easy access to a rich and varied environment, helping us connect classroom learning with the real world. The children thoroughly enjoyed their outdoor learning experiences and showed great curiosity and enthusiasm throughout.

Well done to everyone for their excellent work!

Year 4 Get Energised with Electricity! 

Year 4 have continued their exciting exploration of electricity this week. They learned all about the key components needed to build a circuit, including bulbs, wires, batteries and buzzers, before putting their knowledge into practice through hands-on investigation.

The children then designed and built their own circuits, carefully testing them to see how they worked. They experimented with using different numbers of batteries and observed how this affected the strength of the circuit. It was fantastic to see them noticing how the brightness of the bulb and the sound of the buzzer changed depending on the power supplied.

A brilliant week of scientific thinking, teamwork and discovery!
