In Forest School this week, the Reception children enjoyed lots of treats cooked on the fire! They shared hot dogs, toasted marshmallows and mixed their own 'warm' chocolate drinks.
When they weren't snacking and chatting by the fire with friends, they enjoyed taking their 'log dogs' for a walk around the forest school area.

On Tuesday, our Reception children enjoyed a fantastic sports morning. They had a wonderful time demonstrating the throwing, jumping and running skills they have been developing during their PE lessons.
A big thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to support the children. It was wonderful to see such a fantastic crowd cheering them on throughout the morning. Thank you as well to all the mums and dads who enthusiastically took part in the parents' race—it was a great addition to the event!
In the afternoon, it was the turn of our Year 1 and Year 2 children to show their parents and carers how hard they have been working during their PE lessons. The children took part in a range of exciting activities, including hurdles, beanbag throwing, egg-and-spoon races, and finished with a sprint race.
The parents' races were also a huge success—thank you to everyone who took part and made them so much fun!
Finally, a huge thank you to our Year 6 House Captains, who helped with both events. They were fantastic at supporting and encouraging the younger children throughout the activities. We would also like to thank Coach Jay and Coach Luke from Sports Stars for their support and hard work in helping to make both the morning and afternoon events such a success.

This week, parents were invited into a thankfully air-conditioned music room, to watch the Improvers Guitar Club concert. They were also joined by three members of the choir who came to support the singing. They sang a variety of songs, including Bring it on Home, The Canoe Song, Wonderful life, Jamaica Farewell and finishing with a rousing HI Ho Siver Lining (with audience participation!) Everyone sang and played enthusiastically, making it a very special last concert for this group.
Thank you to Mrs Edge for leading her guitarists to success! 🎸

Year 6 kept cool this week with an over-the-head water relay game!
Mrs Martyn also brought in a rainmaker and gently sprinkled showers on the children at break and lunchtime to keep everyone cool too! 💦

Today, Penguins Class took their learning out onto the shady front lawn to keep cool! 😎 ☀️
The children helped to pour cold water into their trays and then used them as cooling foot-baths while they engaged with their Maths and Reading lessons!
One child even said “This is like being at a spa!”
This afternoon, Year 4 also completed their Science investigation, seeing what happens when boiled eggs are left in different liquids. Did you know that the shell of an egg is very similar to the enamel on our teeth? 🦷 We were fascinated (and a bit repulsed!) to see the effect that orange juice, cola and vinegar have on our teeth!

Year 5 Residential! Post 1 of 2 📷
What a fantastic few days we’ve had at Runway’s End! The children have been amazing, showing great teamwork, resilience, and enthusiasm throughout the trip. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they take on new challenges and support one another.
During the days, the children threw themselves into a wide range of outdoor activities including caving, kayaking, archery, and pond dipping. They approached each experience with determination and positivity, celebrating their successes and encouraging their friends every step of the way.
Evenings were just as memorable! On our first evening, we enjoyed watching the England game together, with some children also creating some artwork instead. Meanwhile, on our second evening, we gathered around the campfire to make s’mores- definitely a highlight for many!
The children have represented the school brilliantly and should feel incredibly proud of themselves. We hope you enjoy these snapshots of their adventure; we’re sure they’ll have plenty of stories to share when they return!
