Class 1 were given a challenge earlier. In teams, the children had to make the tallest and strongest tower, using only marshmallows and spaghetti. This was not an easy challenge! There were prizes for the team who could make the best (free-standing) tower and the team that showed the best teamwork skills! Everyone did a great job and learnt a [...]
The deadline for completion was 2.30pm on Monday, and each boat was given 2 attempts to race down the 3 metre trough - it was a very demanding task as although most of the boats were fine in the paddling pool, getting them to go straight for 3m was way harder! The results for the fastest boats were [...]
Last week Class 4 designed and built their own motor powered boats. There were some creative (and original!) ideas, and yesterday was the moment of truth when we raced the boats down a 3m trough... Today is the 'best design' competition...results to be announced soon... A massive thanks to all the paents who helped: Mick, Darrin, Steve, Matt, [...]
Our School Council have completed their first trial-run of their planned Values Videos! This is a trial-run making sure we knew what we were doing, planning the story-board, working out exactly where and when we see and experience our values being played out in our school and then stitching our work all together with photos and our ad-libbed narration! Quite [...]

We surprised Mrs Atkins by singing Happy Birthday to her today. We stopped our counting when we got to 30!
The National Trust rangers came to school today armed with lots of lovely holly, berries, spruce twigs, teasels and silver spray to make up holly wreaths with classes one and two. We had a lovely morning making our Christmas decorations. Thank you to Rob and his team for helping us.
We said goodbye to Darren in the kitchen today. The children are sad to see him go as he has always been so kind and helpful. The staff are sad that he is leaving too as he always has a smile and a cheerful word. We wish him lots of luck in his new job and hope that he will [...]
We had a fun day at school today with lots of fabulous super-hero costumes and spotty children everywhere! So far we have counted in excess of £110 in our collection bucket for Children in Need Day. Well done to everyone who took part!
