We are hosting an internet safety session on Thursday 17th March 2016 for parents. It is a very informative session that we highly recommend. Please let us know if you can attend.We look forward to seeing you there!

Tim Peake

The children in Keystage 1 have become very interested in space and in particular Tim Peake. Many were able to watch the space launch, back in December and some watched part of the space walk on Friday.

The Year 1 children have all been given a Principia space diary and are gradually working their way through the activities.

Christmas 2015 KS1

The  staff in Keystage 1 would like to say a big thank you for all your kind gifts and cards. We hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas; Miss Wake and Mrs Matthews were delighted to see many members of the school in church on Christmas Eve.

The lead up to Christmas is always a busy time in school and this year was no different. We has dinners, craft days, church services and much more. Here is a selection of our December antics!

Two sheep came to visit - we were allowed to name them!

They thought they had found a stable - it was the scenery
for the two productions.

Christmas dinner

There was much else taking place from the pantomime visit to carols by candle light. We hope you were able to join us for some of the events and have enjoyed this small insight into some of the others things that took place. Happy New Year.

Ware in Bloom

Once again, Year 1 took part in the Incredible Edible Challenge and were delighted to receive a certificate and some prizes.

Rememberance

Both Keystages held a special assembly today to explain the significance of the Poppy and the 2 minute silence. After this the children and staff stood, in either the hall or the playground, to show respect for those who have died in a war. The people in the playground were able to hear the church bell signal the start of the silence.

We are proud to say that most children did their best to stay still, silent and respectful for the whole two minutes.

Fireworks in Year 1

The children in Year One thoroughly enjoyed exploring Bonfire night. They did this through paint, food and d and t fireworks.

Pirates - NMM

Keystage One, once again ventured into the realm of Pirates. All three classes visited the National Maritime Museum and found out some more about the life on the sea.

All of the children had a chance to take part in "Pirate School" where they pledged to be all things pirate and learned the dos and don't s of the pirate way of life.

Pirate School

They explored the galleries and looked for items of treasure to draw in their treasure chest and visited the Big map of the world.

Looking for treasure

Ahoy! exploration area proved very popular and here the children had the chance to role place different seafaring activities, such a cooking, mending the boat, stoking the boiler, and so on.

Manning the ship

This is the second time we have visited the museum with KS1 and it proved as popular this time as it did before.

Making music

On the way home we were also able to catch a glimpse of the majestic Cutty Sark. The children very delighted to see a "Real pirate type ship".

Ahoy!
