We did really well at the swimming gala on Wednesday, claiming second place. Well done to all those involved!

Toast!

Oak Class have been learning all about the ‘oa’ sound in phonics today so of course, we had to eat some toast!

A Snow Day in Oak Class

Oak Class had a wonderful time playing in the snow today. We built snowmen, had a snowball fight and just had fun running around trying to catch snowflakes. Glad we enjoyed it while it lasted!

Run a Mile

All of our classes use the running track a lot, KS1 normally in the morning and KS2 in the afternoon. Here are a couple of photos from Sycamore’s time on the track.

Life Education

Kate, who runs the Life Education sessions came in yesterday to do a session with each class. They all learnt different things about their bodies and how to take care of them. Here are a few photos from Chestnut Class’ session.

Football Tournament

Our boys football team went to a football tournament yesterday. We did really well, making it to the final and finishing as runners up! Well done boys!

Sycamore Class Home Challenges- Spring 1 2024

Here are the Home Challenges for our Blue Planet.

Ukulele Lessons

Here are as few photos from Sycamore Class’ ukulele lessons this year.

Shared Reading

Every two weeks, we link two classes together to do shared reading where younger children read their reading books to older children or older children read story books aloud to younger children. Beech and Chestnut get together and Sycamore and Oak.  We love to do this as it is fun to share books and spend time with children from other classes reading to each other.

County Councillor visit

Lizzi Collinge, County Councillor, visited KS2 classes and explained about the work on the County Council and generally about our democratic political system.  The children in both Beech Class and Sycamore Class were invited to come up with their own ideas for laws. They suggested laws about: dropping litter, taxes, limiting how much wealth someone can have, limiting people to owning one house, reducing the price of food, looking after the environment, making all food free, allowing people to vote from 16, having more control over genetic modification, etc.  

We also debated some of our ideas within our classes. We looked at photographs of the County Council chambers and learned about the process of running the council and what sorts of things councillors deal with. We asked lots of good questions about her role and what inspired her to be a councillor too.
