• Goodbye My Friend - Year 6 Production

  Thu 21 Jul 2022 Mrs Laycock

  Year Six's performance of Goodbye My Friend was amazing last week. The story of four friends looking back over their time at primary school was both hilarious and moving at different times! It was lovely to be able to give the children an opportunity to show their acting and speaking skills. The audience particularly loved the re-enactment of a reception nativity play! Thank you to all the Year Six pupils, parents and school staff for all that you did to make this happen.

• Trip to Foxburrow Farm for Reception & KS1

  Thu 21 Jul 2022 Miss Hallinan

  Reception and Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed their summer trip to the Foxburrow Farm. We explored the meadow; flower spotting and used large nets to gather wildlife. In the sheltered woods we loved naming and hugging our group tree. We made mud paint, used mirrors and carefully wove with natural resources. Pond dipping was a firm favourite, lots of interesting creatures were caught such as the rare Great crested newt and we used a magnifying catcher to look carefully in awe at our findings!

• Y5 & Y6 Author Visit - Benjamin Dean

  Mon 11 Jul 2022 Mrs Laycock

  On Monday 4th July we had a visit from Benjamin Dean, whose book 'Me, my Dad and the end of the rainbow' we have been reading this term. It was great to meet a real author and thanks to Booktrust, each pupil has a copy of Benjamin's book to keep. Maci, Daisy N and Marile have written this summary of the visit:

   

  Benjamin Dean introduced himself by showing us pictures of his childhood and newer photos. He then described how his books were developed. Next we created our own story ideas and characters before getting our books signed.
