Our Y6 rounders team enjoyed a successful tournament at home last week, finishing in second place overall after winning two of their three matches. The team demonstrated excellent skill and determination throughout the competition, with superb batting and fielding, and every player contributing to the team's success. Congratulations to the team on a fantastic achievement and a well-deserved second-place finish.

In Science this term, our Y3 children have been learning about forces. Last week they observed how cars move on different surfaces and found out that the speed of the car was affected by the surface because of the force of friction. This week we recorded and measured how far a car would travel on different surfaces to see if our observations were correct.

Our PTFA Malcolm Sargent School PTFA kindly helped fund Y1’s recent trip to Hamerton Zoo Park. This term, our Y1 children have been learning about different animals and had an amazing day out at the zoo!

Our Y4 children had a great time at the Mini Olympics in Grantham last week. Despite it being heavy rain all day, we were moved inside and had fun trying out different activities. Many thanks to the PTFA Malcolm Sargent School PTFA for funding our coaches.

Our Y1 children have worked really hard this year and have recently sat their National Phonics Screening test. To celebrate their hard work, we had an ice-pop party on the field! Well done Y1; we are all so proud of you!

The children in EYFS enjoyed a fascinating bee-themed week before half-term. They learnt about the important role bees play in pollination and that without pollination we wouldn’t have many of our favourite foods! Mr Revell gave an engaging presentation about bee-keeping and the children loved seeing the empty hive and bee-keeping equipment. He also gave each class a jar of honey made by his bees; this led to some wonderful writing as the children tasted and then described the honey. The children spent much of the week in bee costumes completing ‘bee school’ themed tasks based on our topic story ‘The Bumblebear’. A favourite task was buzzing around the playground in hunt of numbered flowers to put in sequential order.
