🐍🥣 REMEMBER THIS? 🥣🐍
Last year our Cereal Box Snake was a brilliant success… and this year we want to make it even BIGGER and BETTER! 🙌
We’ll be collecting full boxes of cereal to donate to our local food bank — and there’s a little extra incentive too! 💛
🏠 Every box donated earns ONE HOUSE POINT for your house!
So, raid the supermarket shelves, choose your favourite cereal and help us build the longest cereal-box snake we can! 🐍
📦 Please bring your full cereal boxes into school and place them in the labelled collection boxes in the library.
Which house will collect the most? 👀🏆
Let’s see if we can beat last year! 💪🥣💛

Carrie’s “good morning” message from Mr Poulton was a particularly pleasant one today… nothing to do with broken light bulbs, faulty toilets or blocked drains! 😂
Instead, he sent this gorgeous sunrise, taken from near our Nursery garden. What a beautiful way to start the school day. 💛✨

Year 4 have been busy getting creative with soap sculptures!

We began by designing our ideas in our sketchbooks, carefully planning the shapes and designs we wanted to create. We then used a variety of tools to slowly and carefully carve, shape and sculpt the soap, bringing our ideas to life.

It took lots of patience, concentration and careful control as we learned how to use the different tools safely and effectively.

Just look at our beautiful little fish and turtles and other shapes! We are so proud of the wonderful sculptures we created and the creativity we showed along the way!

Year 5 took history outdoors this week!
Working in small teams, the children created their own timelines using significant dates from history, including BC dates, and worked together to put them in chronological order. 🗓️
They then discovered exactly where our current topic, The Maya, fits into the wider timeline of history — putting their learning into a fantastic historical context! 🌎
We loved seeing such great teamwork, discussion and problem-solving… and, of course, we really loved being outside! ☀️👏

Year 1 were introduced to their very first artist, Bridget Riley — famous for her bold, optical line work. The children explored a whole range of line types: wavy lines, straight lines, curved lines, zigzag lines, dotted lines, spiral lines and swirly lines. After practising each style, they began creating their own Riley‑inspired artwork in their brand‑new sketchbooks. 🎨

Once their line explorations were complete, the children returned to their self‑portraits, adding a striking picture frame influenced by Riley’s signature patterns. It’s clear we have some budding artists in Year 1 😊

What a wonderful week we have had in Nursery! The children are settling beautifully into our routines and learning environments, making new friends and enjoying exploring both indoors and outdoors.
Through our continuous provision, the children have enjoyed construction play, mark making, creating faces and bodies with playdough, and developing their creative skills.
This week, the children also enjoyed their first session with Coach Amy, focusing on listening skills and different ways of moving.
In Literacy, we have been sharing Happy to Be Me, exploring our different body parts and how we can move them. Through songs, music, ribbons and movement activities, the children have been developing their gross motor skills while learning to name and recognise different parts of the body.
We are very proud of all the children for such a fantastic, hardworking week. Well done, Nursery!
