Carden Primary School

In assembly this week the children were discussing Earth Day and how to look after the planet using one of our school values - RESPECT. One of the year four children then went home and created this poster themselves to celebrate the things we can do to help Earth. 🌎💚

This Friday is the tenth annual Carden Eid picnic. This event is open to anyone in the local community who wishes to share food and celebrate. We look forward to seeing lots of you there.

Before the Easter holiday we were visited by Courtney Orange - a commonwealth medal winner - who spent the day putting the children (and staff) through their paces with a variety of exercises. The children were sponsored for completing their physical challenge and raised an amazing £4800.12. This money will be used to purchase new sports equipment for the school. Thank you to everyone for their hard work on the day - especially the children and Mr. Harrington - who organised the whole thing.

HAPPY EASTER from all at Carden Nursery and Primary School.
here are the wonderful nursery children enjoying all their Easter activities. They made bags and ears ready for their Easter hunt. They did a big hunt across the outdoor classroom. They also made their own hot cross buns - yummy!

The Carden Primary PTA were kind enough to give school council their own fund to spend across the year on the the things their class needs. All the classes chose some exciting new books for their book corners and school council had great fun stamping them and getting them library ready.

Nursery exploring mark making at our outside craft station. The sunshine was a beautiful incentive to spend most of the day outside.

Nursery had a wonderful day celebrating with a fabulous finish to our 'Going on a Bear Hunt' 🐻 learning.
The day consisted of dressing up, making porridge, a Welly Walk to the orchard and storytime with our families and our favourite bears.

Here is one of our children’s amazing entries for an art competition. Year Three have been studying the work of Vincent van Gogh, and you can see here how brilliantly that has been emulated.

If you still wish to enter it is: Young Artists' Summer Show at the Royal Academy of Arts competition.

The deadline for submissions to Mrs Wallis is Friday 27th Feb.

A selection of some of the wonderful things reception have been up since their start. They are always getting the most from all the areas around school. Every week a member of staff from around the school or a family member have been sharing a story with them to share their love and reading and support the children in growing their own love of books.

The wonderful art club had their end of term showcase. What an amazing amount of work done by the children; cards, hot air balloons and moving mobile homes. Thank you to 'Out of the Box' for their brilliant club.

Year Six have had a fabulous finish to their WW2 topic taking part in their own VE day. The children were immersed in the world of the 1940s and even baked their own scones - delicious. They rounded off the topic today with a wonderful sharing assembly to all their families. 💚

The children in Nursery have been enjoying accessing carefully planned continuous provision. The Nursery team are so very proud of the children's curiosity and developing independence, which is enabling meaningful learning experiences.
