Well done to the children who were in the Golden Book today and also those who recieved certificates for badminton.

The children in class 2 have had done some good learning this week whilst comparing length, weight and speed.

The children have had great fun at gym club this evening. They practised balancing skills as well as jumping.

Class 4 practised their hockey skills today in between the rain showers.

It is Bird Week in school at the end of this month. Class 4 have been preparing by painting blue tits to look really closely at anatomy, writing facts and quizzes for their Brain Builder homework and today they had a go at sculpting using clay.

Today, Class One have been playing in a Café. Our new children have been making friends, taking turns and sharing toys.

Congratulations to the children who were in the Golden Book today.

Key Stage 2 pupils had expert advice today from an experienced chef at Pizza Express. Dressed like chefs and using fresh ingredients, each pupil prepared their very own Margherita pizza. They listened carefully to techniques described and some even managed to toss their pizza base into the air to stretch the dough. In addition to this practical session, children were taught interesting facts about the ingredients used in pizzas as well as the history of pizza itself. We hope you all enjoy the pizza they brought home to share with the family. Everyone had a fantastic time joining in with the session.

Class 4 used Scratch to design a simple cat and mouse game. This was the first of our game creation sessions this term. Hopefully they’ll be experts in a few weeks!

Through drama and song all the children in the school gave a super performance of ‘The Little Fir Tree’.

Set in a forest they showed the trees growing strong and tall as the seasons changed, all except one – the little fir tree. The tall trees boasted that one day they would be used for something important and teased the little fir tree because of his size. When the woodcutter came to chop down the tall trees, he reassured the little fir tree that he had a special purpose for him. His destiny was finally discovered when he is decorated and placed in a prominent position in a children’s hospital ward. The children’s faces are filled with joy as they gaze upon his beauty. The nurses then retell the Christmas nativity story to the children.

Through the story children shared that however small and unimportant we may feel, each one of us has something special to contribute to this world. As they sang in the last song ‘to each one of us there is a reason, everybody has something to give’.
