Latest Schools news from our social media accounts:

We wish all our families a wonderful half term break and look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday 2 June.

School closed next week for the half term break and we re-open on Monday 2 June. All school holidays are coloured pink on the calendars. We have also attached the calendar for the next academic year.

Year 3 Meerkats have thoroughly enjoyed making and testing their bridges in DT this week. They used measuring, sawing, sanding and joining skills to make strong and sturdy bridges. Well done Meerkats - you worked hard!

We have some amazing readers in the Panthers who have read over 100 times at home already this year! Well done! Keep aiming for at least 4 reads a week!

The Giraffes have completed our Design and Technology unit on construction. After researching, we designed, made and evaluated our bridges. We used measuring, sawing, sanding, joining and gluing with a hot glue gun to make our bridges. We tested them to see if they were wide enough, tall enough ...and strong enough.

🦋✨ Butterflies and Ladybirds Explore Our Community! 🚶‍♀️🌳
Today, our delightful Butterflies and Ladybirds classes took to the local area for an exciting adventure! 🌼 Armed with our curiosity and a keen eye for detail, we set off to spot and identify both human and physical ...features right in our own community.

The highlight of our day was definitely when we ventured high up on a bridge overlooking the bustling roadworks below. 🚧 The children were absolutely made up, waving and cheering as lorries and passers-by honked their horns in a cheerful salute! What a wonderful way to connect with our environment and learn about the world around us!

A huge thank you to everyone who waved back! 🥰 It truly made our outing extra special.

This week the Dolphins have been drawing and painting landscapes in their Art lesson. We went out to the field and observed the landscape. We developed our observational skills by drawing what we could see and then when we got back into class we added paint to our artwork. We are becoming great ...artists!

FS1 Chicks have been looking at the work of artist Van Gogh, after looking at his sunflowers painting the children created their own. Some children chose to paint whilst others used collage materials - we were very impressed with their work and have discovered that we're all amazing artists!

🎨 Foundation Class Explores the Art of Van Gogh! 🌟

What an incredible week our Foundation Class has had, diving into the vibrant world of Vincent Van Gogh! 🌻✨ Our young artists have been eagerly exploring how to change the shade of colours to create stunning effects in their ...artwork.

From experimenting with tinting to mastering shading techniques, they've truly brought their artistic to life! 🎨❤️ Take a glance at some of our fantastic creations below and be inspired by the colourful imagination of our budding Picassos!

🌱 Green-Fingered Foundation Fun! 🌱
This week, our industrious foundation children have truly embraced their green thumbs! 🌼 They’ve been hard at work repotting their homegrown cucumbers, peas, and pumpkins, and we couldn't be prouder of their efforts!

It's ...wonderful to see their enthusiasm for gardening flourish as they learn about nature, teamwork, and the joy of nurturing plants. 🌿✨ Watching their little faces light up with excitement is simply priceless, and we're excited to see how their garden grows!

Let's celebrate our budding gardeners! There’s nothing quite like teaching the next generation the joys of growing their own food. 🥒🥕🌽

In D&T, the Meerkats have been developing their measuring, sawing, sanding and joining skills. These skills will help us to design and make a strong bridge made from wood this half term.

The owls and squirrels have been busy making hanging baskets and planting flowers, we hung them on the fence to decorate our school field.
