Flexible Friday
The sun is shining so what better choice of activity for flexible Friday than playing on the jungle trail after working so hard this past week! 3HJ have decided to have a ‘show and tell’ session next week too!
A True TTRockstar!
Today marks the first day of June. Why is this noteworthy? Well last month, a certain member of 4TE showed extreme dedication and effort to play TimesTablesRockstars every single day last month during May! This mighty achievement was achieved by Jack Jepson and he deserves a huge shout out here! So fantastic effort Jack on completing that challenge! Jack is brilliant at his times tables and commitment such as this is proof as to why he’s learnt his tables so well, great work Jack!
Happy Half Term!
A belated happy half term from 4TE! Above is a little video of some of the activites 4TE have been up to in the final week before half term. Photos used in the video are below. Have a great break!
Happy half term!
To finish off another fab half term 5EG celebrated with a party! The children bought their own toys and games, and had plenty of yummy treats. We also said goodbye to the inspirational Mrs Smith, who has worked tirelessly in our class this year and will be greatly missed.
Happy Half Term
A big Year 3 thank you goes out today to the 5 members of Year 6 that have been our helpers this week. From being classroom TAs to playing dodgeball, we have absolutely loved having them in our classes. The children have loved having them in class and they were amazing models to the younger children.
Today they teamed up with a few year 3 children to create a fabulous pairing to celebrate the Platinum’ Jubilee

Expert visit
This week, year 5 were lucky enough to receive a visit from an expert who spoke knowledgeably about the circulatory system and taught the children the importance of keeping their hearts healthy through a balanced diet, exercise and plenty of sleep! The pupils also had the opportunity to use a stethoscope for some hands on learning! What a treat!
Day #1 Year 6 Residential
After a reasonably short journey, Year 6 arrived at Kingswood for 3pm for their tour of the grounds and a briefing for their stay here. The first challenge that awaited them was an intimidating one for some: making their beds!
Perplexed faces, an abundance of questions and head scratching filled each room before all beds were finally made. All groups then participated in one activity before dinner; in group eight’s case, bouldering was our first official challenge of the stay.
Many greeted the news of dinner with jubilation: chicken, chips and a choice of salad followed by jam doughnuts for dessert. The children then enjoyed a briefing around one of Kingswood’s campfires.
The mini olympics was the children’s final activity of the night offering a chance for competition and humour, two of the events being an impressions race and how far can you scream before you have to take a breath!
How our heart works!
This morning 5EG welcomed Curtis, an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, who captivated the class with his knowledge of the circulatory system.
He told us how your lifestyle and diet choices affect your health in the long-term, and can cause a range of illnesses.
We even used a stethoscope to listen to our hearts (once we managed to find them!)
