Harvest Festival – Thank you
Thank you to everyone who came and supported the children in the harvest festival this morning and for all the produce that you kindly donated.
The children shared how appreciative they were of the beautiful world we live in and all the different food there is to eat.
Through the story of the King’s Seeds they shared how important it is to sow seeds of honesty, integrity, kindness, goodness, courage for example, as opposed to sowing seeds of lying, cheating, arrogance etc. that may end up reaping trouble.
Afterwards, the Year 5 children enjoyed taking plants to some elderly people within the community. They also delivered the harvest produce to the Grantham Foodbank where they learnt more about how the Grantham Foodbank operates.
lSchool Councillors
Last Friday, candidates for School Councillor presented reasons why they felt they should be elected for the role. Afterwards, the children went to the polls and cast their votes.
This afternoon, the results were announced and badges presented to our new School Councillors.
Have you filled your bucket?
As part of our PSHE lessons about ‘feelings’ we enjoyed the story of ‘Have you filled a bucket today’. We then talked about what makes us happy and how our own actions can make other people happy.
Look at our happiness bucket.
EY – Art
On Friday, Class 1 enjoyed creating colourful fish and salt dough animals.
Class 3 – St. Wulfram’s Church Visit
This morning, we visited St Wulfram’s church as part of our learning about different places of worship.
We were fascinated by what we found inside and enjoyed learning more about the church. After looking at the font near the entrance, soaking up the atmosphere in the nave, and looking at the different things in the main church we went down the steep steps into the crypt where we saw stones worn down by so many people kneeling to pray over the years. After our initial exploration and discovering lots of new facts, we searched for mice to complete the Mouse Trail which was lots of fun. Finally, after delicious refreshments in the church, we stopped off in Wyndham Park for playtime before returning to school.
We would like to say a big thank you to the church stewards who made us so welcome and answered our questions. You made our visit very special.

Early Years – Habitats
As part of our Science topic – Animals and their habitats, we talked about different habitats including the ones in our local area. We went on a nature walk to spot different habitats within our school grounds. We spotted a few birds, a squirrel and lots of insects.
Back in class, we worked together to create our own habitats for an insect.
Gravity and Air Resistance
Today Key Stage 2 talked about gravity and air resistance. They made tissue paper parachutes, creating a fair test by only changing one variable. They then used their observation skills to see which parachute worked best.
Card from the King
The children were delighted to receive a thank you card and letter this morning from Buckingham Palace. King Charles had sent them to say thank you to the children for the colourful cards they created to him for his Coronation.

French Brunch
This morning Class 3 prepared and hosted a French Brunch for the whole school. They baked apple cakes and Sables a la confiture (jammy biscuits!) Class 1 and Class 4 sat down to a spread of French bread, brioche, croissants, pain au chocolat, apples, grapes, crepes and a selection of French cheeses!
All the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Tres bien, Class Three! 
Thank you also to Mrs Sellars, Ms Arnold, Mrs Jessop and Miss White for their help with the clearing up… always greatly appreciated!
Best regards
