Parrots had great fun playing cricket. They enjoyed practising skills they have learnt throughout the year and learning how to play a new sport. 

Some of the children in Reception were lucky enough to attend the 'Teddy Bear's Picnic' at Scott Primary School. They had a great time doing lots of different activities; including music, story telling, meeting some local police officers, soft play, parachute games, a teddy bear hunt, woodwork, meeting some small animals, and of course a delicious picnic lunch! 

The children have thoroughly enjoyed their Science topic of Forces and Magnets this half term. We finished it off by testing strengths of different size magnets and also using compasses to solve problems on the playground. 

Young Marketeers is a food education programme that gives primary school children an opportunity to learn about food production, grow their own veg, and set up a stall at their local market. 

Year 4 headed down to Bedford Market for a fantastic day of food, fun, and entrepreneurship!

Classes Owls and Ospreys had an unforgettable camping adventure filled with fun, laughter, and learning! From team-building challenges and fire-making skills to crafting camp banners and bracelets, the students showed amazing teamwork and creativity. The trip ended with a splash—an epic teachers vs. students water fight. 

In art, we have been exploring how to create texture using paint and a variety of materials. The children were provided with the primary colours and tasked with mixing them to produce the colours they needed.

The children in Puffins did some Forest School crafts today. We made boats with egg boxes and flowers.

Penguins have had a great time learning all about space this week. We learned all about the different planets of the solar system and the job of an astronaut. We also learned about different forces including push and pull, and how this relates to space travel (thrust and gravity). We made our own straw rockets and had a great time launching them on the playground!

Penguins had a great time at Sports Day showing off all of the skills they have learned in PE this year! Thank you to all the parents and carers for coming and supporting! 

In Robins Class we have been learning a technique in art called wool wrapping. We used this technique to create our own sheep.

The afternoon Puffins had fun in the water.  They played with the spinning turtle. Had lots of fun but got very wet. (sorry for the wet clothes)

Check out the incredible cushions that Kingfisher class have produced! They have been taught various stitches by Mrs Ferreira and their hard work and determination has really paid off. Aren't they great?!

Our class recently visited Westfield School to take part in an exciting Multi-Sports Festival. The pupils had the opportunity to join in with children from other schools and take part in a range of activities, including cricket, athletics, and rounders. Everyone showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the day. They represented our school brilliantly and should be very proud of themselves!

In Year 4, students use Boom Whackers to develop their understanding of rhythm, pitch, and teamwork through fun, hands-on musical activities. 

Today we released our butterflies. We watched them change from caterpillars to butterflies over the past 3 weeks. It was very exciting watching them fly up into the sky.

Parrots have enjoyed the class bus this week! They have loved pretending to be bus drivers and passengers, taking each other on adventures to the beach, the park and even up a mountain! It has been wonderful to see the children practise their social skills of asking for and paying for a bus ticket. Who knows where we will end up next? 

Year 4 had an exciting adventure as we "travelled" to Italy for the day! We started our journey by visiting the airport, complete with passports and boarding passes. Once we "arrived" in Italy, we explored its rich culture and traditions. One of the highlights was tasting delicious Italian foods – we tried juicy olives, creamy mozzarella, and crunchy breadsticks. It was a fun and tasty way to experience a new country without leaving school!

The story this week is We are going on a bear hunt. The children loved the story and could retell it very well. We went on a walk around the playground going under bridges, over crates, through tunnels looking for the bear. He was hiding in the little house. 

Puffins had a great time.

Woodpeckers have enjoyed leaning about friction through their topic on forces. They tested different surfaces and made predictions as to which surface would have the most and least friction. They then took their learning outside and experimented on further surfaces for themselves.
