This term in Cobb Class, we have been growing our own fruit and veg from seed. Today we checked in on our tomatoes and harvested some of our potatoes. the children have also been enjoying our lunchtime gardening club and have been bringing home some of the plants they've grown.

If you've planted on the seedlings at home, feel free to share your pictures below, we'd love to see them!

This year's KS2 production was 'Oliver with a Twist', the children performed it to a packed hall last Friday afternoon as the culmination of our Performing Arts Week. It was wonderful to see just how far our older children have come this year, they confidently stood on stage - made us laugh (many times) and there were more than a few proud tears from the grown ups (including the teachers).

Seeing them work together and achieve together reminds us again what a special community we have.

A massive thanks to our KS2 team for putting it together.

🥉 Huge congratulations to today's Year 3/4 athletics team! 🥉

A fantastic effort today from the children from across our three school hub who took part in the Wiltshire Schools Year 3/4 athletics tournament in Swindon.

We're thrilled to share that the Vine Schools team came home with the BRONZE medal — third place overall out of 24 schools!

Every single child worked hard, gave their best effort, and cheered each other on as a true team. We couldn't be prouder of them all!

Yesterday morning we invited our children to watch the England vs Mexico match 'as live' - the atmosphere was electric and we all celebrated the great result. Thank you to parents for keeping the result secret before school!

In Cobb Class we're loving being able to explore plants and water in the sunshine. It's been a great start to our gardens topic for this term, with us learning how to identify the different plants and trees around us.

This afternoon in Cowell Class, the children had a great outdoor science lesson. Each child planned and carried out a friction investigation. We then finished the afternoon with a 'chick handling' experience in the school hall. Many thanks to the Candy Family for making this experience possible - certainly something we'll remember for a long time!

What a fab afternoon at the Sponsored Bunny Run, organised by our friends of school group SHASA . Thank you so much to everyone who came along to watch, to the children (and parents) for organising sponsorship and to everyone who baked (and bought) at the cake sale! Of course, a huge thanks as always to the SHASA volunteers.

The children showed great resilience and all completed the course!

Let's hope the Spring sunshine is here to stay!
