The eco warriors in year 3 have done a great job at picking up and spotting rubbish around our school. They enjoyed cleaning up our environment whilst having fun!
The sheer joy when you solve a maths puzzle! ❤️
Class 4 had the “best fun” (so they told me) in maths today! The BIG triangle puzzle was such a fun way to practise rapid recall of number bonds for 10 and to develop team work and resilience.
Year 1 kicked off our ‘Great Big School Clean’ today. Every day our Eco-Warriors will choose friends from their class to help them keep our school grounds litter free.
Year 4 took part in the Outdoor Gym Challenge as part of Science Week. This year the theme is all about growth, we looked at why growth is important to our development and health.
The task was to think about ways to grow physically but to find ways that everyone could enjoy it with an outdoor gym. We tested out exercises that needed NO EQUIPMENT such as squats, planks, sprints and sit ups. The children even created a few exercises of their own. They then created an exercise plan that added up to no more than 10 minutes for another group to complete.
The children in Year 4 loved this activity and when evaluating the task they said, “We were so surprised how many things you could do without equipment.” They also said, “We found it difficult to choose exercises that were right for everyone, not too hard or too easy.”
Today, children were invited to come to school to raise awareness, raise funds and show solidarity with Ukraine. They were able to come to school in non-uniform, wearing something blue, yellow or a combination of the two. We are really proud of how our children embraced this – just look at these lovely photos!
Note to parents: Thank you so much for your donations. We will be collecting again at the KS2 Mother’s Day Assemblies and then we will let you know how much we have raised for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.

This week’s articles link to World Water Day.
World Water Day takes place on 22 March every year. It is an annual United Nations observance, started in 1993, that celebrates water and raises awareness of the 2 billion people currently living without access to safe water.
A core focus of World Water Day is to inspire action towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG, also known as Global Goal) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Year 1 have had an awesome Commando Joe session today. Their missions have recently been based within the story of The Lion King. Today they had to help Simba refill the watering hole after Scar had been defeated and left Pride Rock.
The children were tasked with moving water as quickly and effectively as they could. There were some fantastic ideas how to use the resources to transport the water. Brilliant team work.
Year 1’s British Science week task took them down to the Secret Garden this afternoon to search for worms. The children were all surprised to learn that there are three kinds of worms and tried hard to identify the ones we found. They used string to measure the worms. Two groups measured the same worm and were astounded to find it had stretched itself from 16 cms to 23 cms!!! The children were also intrigued to watch one wonderful working worm do a poo!
One of Class 3’s weekly challenges is to use the iPads to solve simple ‘Wordle’ problems. We have loved using them alongside our friends.
