Today the Year 6s completed their last SATs test! It has been a long week and the children have all worked their socks off towards the tests and throughout this week. They richly deserved the celebration cakes that some of our parents made and brought into school. Thank you to Bethan, Abi and…

Children have been experimenting with frame structures in their DT project.

To begin with, children were given modelling clay and cocktail sticks to try and create some basic 3D shapes. They began with triangular prisms, cubes, tetrahedrons and square based pyramids. Eventually, children began…

With a slight change to the weather and a sea of exhausted little faces after a busy three day, we decided to finish our week with the parachute! Upper School had lots of fun working together, encouraging one another…and competing a little against one another!

It was certainly a fun, energetic…

To many it was a brand new game, to some it was just completely surreal playing in class…I am of course talking about… ‘Blooket’!

If you haven’t tried it already, it’s brilliant! Sign up for free, choose categories or create your own and compete against your friends and family in this really…

Over our three-day week, Upper School have been busy bees designing their very own purposeful robots. They created their non-chronological reports ‘blueprints’ (including a vast array of details following deep discussion over what should be considered - from warranties to material). Using…

On Thursday, the whole school got to enjoy a picnic style lunch - either with their packed lunches or with a school dinner - to celebrate the upcoming coronation. 
The children finished their lovely lunch by singing the National Anthem!
