What a buzz there was around the school the first day back after the May half term. The whole school, all children and staff, became scientists as part of a science day experience. This was to enhance their scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
On the last day of school, a select group of our amazing writers met in the library to complete a task set by Mrs Green and Mrs Solloway: to write a letter to the year two children at the local first schools to let them know about the wonderful welcome they can expect when they come to us in the autumn term.
Well done to the latest award winners at our penultimate stars celebration assembly of the year! This was to celebrate those children who have consistently demonstrated one of our 5 star values throughout the half-term: resilient, respectful, creative, independent or inspiring.
Making a Model Zip Wire.
A group of enthusiastic historians from all year groups took part in a session where they looked at the meaning of artefacts and discussed what made an artefact an artefact and how this compared with replicas.

Learning new computing skills to prepare for the future.
Yesterday afternoon, our School Council had lots of fun planting wild flowers, including Ox-Eye Daisies, Honesty, Primroses and Geraniums, in the Millennium Meadow, which runs behind Bradwell Road, opposite the school.
We sadly ran out of time at the end of last term to celebrate our school writers so I was really pleased to be able to kick off this term with a really happy assembly to put a smile on the children's faces.

The children have been learning about how moving your body and keeping active can do wonders for your mental health. It's also a way to express yourself, so you can do as much or as little based on how you are feeling.
