A message from Mrs Statham - Head of School

This week has been what I like to call a 'topsy-turvy' week! A bank holiday and a polling day resulted in quite a disjointed week for us all. Our pop-up swimming pool was not ready for the Y5 pupils to use this week, however, we are hopeful that the temperature will be ready for Monday.

Even though it was a three day week, year groups still managed to pack a lot of learning into each day. Our Y4 pupils went to The Tower of London, Y6 have calmly been preparing for their national tests next week and today, the whole school joined together to celebrate a most treasured man, Sir David Attenborough. Turning 100 years old, Sir David thoroughly deserves to be celebrated, bringing us 100 years of wonder, wisdom and wildlife. Thank you to the School Council for leading a special assembly. Parents, please ask your children about their blue and green day, today. It really was a day to remember.

PTA D-I-S-C-O success!

Last Friday, the PTA decorated the hall, prepared the drinks and snacks and brought glow sticks, ready for the four discos. There was great excitement and almost every child in the school attended. This meant that thanks to our school community, the PTA was able to raise over £1000! Thanks to all our parents who contributed, to the staff for supporting the discos and to our wonderful PTA for their time, effort and support for the school.

Year 3 design and make a castle

After a lot of hard work in applying new skills, the Y3 pupils finally showed off the castles they made in DT. They had to follow a specific brief; to design and make a castle for a Y2 pupil. Many key skills were learnt and developed, such as cutting, folding, scoring card and making stable bases. The visit by Y2 children was part of their evaluation. Well done, Year 3s!

PTA Poster Competition

Many thanks to all the children who entered the PTA Summer Fair poster competition. Here are the results:

Winner - Moyin in 6B

Runners Up - Luna in 1W and Lilah in 3W

Look out for Moyin's design ahead of our Festival on the Field on Saturday 27th June.

Year 4 trip to The Tower of London

This week, our Y4 classes visited the Tower of London, as part of their history unit. They explored dungeons and turrets, learning about how the Tower was once used as a prison. The highlights of the trip were seeing The Crown Jewels, meeting a Beefeater and climbing to the top of the White Tower. What a wonderful day out! Many thanks to the staff and parents who supported on the trip.
