On Tuesday 11th November, each child in Reception made and planted their poppy in the school Remembrance Garden. On each poppy they had the name of a soldier who had died in the First World War.
Afterwards, the school took part in a service where the pupils remembered these soldiers and others who had sacrificed their lives in past and present conflicts.
The service was led by Year 6 and Reverend Peter.
Reception also had opportunities to paint a poppy, collage a poppy, draw a poppy using pencil crayons or felt tips and label it too.

Our Preschool children are about to begin a very exciting journey - and they won't be doing it alone! Throughout the year, they'll be helping our Boundary Bear get ready for Reception. Together, the children and their cuddly friend will be practising all the skills needed to become confident, independent and school-ready. The children will be showing Boundary Bear exactly what it takes to shine in Reception. Each new activity will help the bear grow braver and more prepared - just like our little learners! This term, the children have been helping teddy with his self-care skills and have shown him how to wash his hands, and put his shoes and coat on independently.
Keep an eye out for more updates as our children and Boundary Bear get ready for their big adventure into school life!

Today we enjoyed raising money for Children in Need. Lots of us changed a part of our uniform to something spotty or stripy and donated money to charity. We learnt more about Children in Need in our Friday assembly and how the theme for this year is helping to raise funds.

This week, we have celebrated anti-bullying week. We began the week with an assembly by Mrs Clarke who gave us some scenarios and we discussed what we could do to be an upstander rather than a bystander. We understood that if we see someone being bullied we need to act and get help from a trusted adult. On Friday, we celebrated our differences by wearing odd socks and completed our PSHE lesson, looking at the difference between being unkind and being bullied. We know that bullying is when something is intentional and repeated behaviour and how to get help.

This week is Anti-Bullying Week, and our fabulous Year 4 students have been diving into the important topic of bullying. They’ve been learning how to recognise bullying and discussing what to do if they find themselves in such situations or witness them happening to others. The children shared their thoughts and opinions while we explored various scenarios together. Additionally, they discovered the key difference between a bystander and an upstander, empowering them to take positive action. What a fantastic week of learning!

This week in Computing, Year 5 have been developing their programming skills using Scratch. They learned how conditional statements work using if, then and else and how these connect a condition to different outcomes in a program. Using selection inside a forever loop, they created programs that constantly checked for things like key presses. By the end of the lesson, the children could identify the condition and outcomes in blocks of code and design their own Scratch projects that behave differently depending on what the user does.

Today, Year 3 have been learning all about Remembrance Day. We started by talking about what we already know and why we have Remembrance Day each year. We remembered that it is a special time to think about and honour the soldiers who have fought and died for our country, helping to keep us safe and free.
In art, we created some beautiful gestural drawings of poppies in our sketchbooks. We practised using different lines and shapes to show movement and detail. After that, we chose our favourite poppy design and created a final piece on black card, using chalk and oil pastels to make our poppies bright and bold. The colours really stood out, and everyone worked so carefully to add lots of detail.
This morning, we planted our poppies together and took a quiet moment to remember the fallen soldiers. It was a peaceful and thoughtful time for all of us.
Later, we joined the whole school for our Remembrance Service. We listened carefully as the Year 6 readers told us all about the meaning of Remembrance Day and why the poppy is such an important symbol.
We are very proud of how respectful and reflective everyone in Year 3 was today. Our poppies now stand proudly as a reminder of those who have given so much for us.

This week, our Year 2 students took part in planting poppies as a way to remember and reflect on the soldiers who have given their lives in war. 🌺
Through this simple act, the children learned about the importance of remembrance, showing respect and gratitude for the sacrifices made to protect our freedom. The poppies will grow as a lasting symbol of honour and reflection, reminding us all to pause and remember.

Year 4 - What stains our teeth?
Date: 11th Nov 2025 @ 10:12am
This week, we did an experiment to observe what happens to our teeth when we drink certain drinks and don't brush them. We left eggs in coke, diet coke, orange juice, milk, water, tea and coffee over the weekend. The egg shell acted as our teeth enamel, so we needed to observe whether or not the enamel could protect our teeth in various drinks. Due to the sugar content, diet coke and coke stained the worst.

The children thought again about the importance of listening and then focussed on the skills of teamwork. We firstly did group activities in which we had to solve problems. We then used our ABC to discuss debate topics and had to express our opinions while listening to others.

To commemorate Armistice Day this year, pupils in year 4 have created a watercolour landscape of poppy flowers. Pupils used a variety of painting skills such as 'wet on wet' and 'wet on dry' to create background and foreground. They also used the end of the brush to create lines and shapes in the paint.
