Merlin class had an open afternoon for parents to come in a see what their children had been up to this term. There was plenty of bridges being built and 3d computer designing going on where ever you looked. Thank you to everyone who came along.

Merlin class were treated to an ex pupil coming back to do a 3d printing day to finish off our 3d computer design unit.

Merlin class represented the school in a football tournament aimed at non football players. We fielded two teams on a rather soggy morning and every single player did the school proud. One of our teams even won the tournament as a whole! Well done to everyone who took part and played, as well as those who came along to help, coach and support.

Molly-Anne and her sister raised a huge 400 pounds for this fabulous cause and donated their hair to the Little Princess trust. Absolutely incredible!

For remembrance day we have been studying WW1 and what impact it has had on the poppies that we wear to remember those that have fallen. They wrote poems based on what they have learnt and these will be on display at the church for their remembrance service this Sunday.

It has been all about truss and beam bridges today with the children in Merlin class designing and building their own bridges. A record weight of 4kg was reached by one in particular. Not bad for a bridge made of straws!

The children will be able to purchase remembrance day items from the school library each lunchtime. KS1 can purchase on the 8th, year 3 and 4 on the 9th and year 5 and 6 on the 10th. This is in preparation for remembrance day on the 11th of November.
