Our little Pringle tube is full of pens at home, so I'm bringing them in to school. We've a huge Terracycle recycling box in the school hall if you'd like to bring in pens, cartridges, highlighters etc., even Tippex and Pritt sticks. Just pass them over to your child, they'll know where to put them. Which reminds me, we need [...]
A report from Kitty... "Myah has been really nice to me and she made me feel really good." We learn about PSHE, and we do activities about things such as kindness, today. Our Family Groups have all different ages of kids in them, they're really happy, and everyone comes together to talk about different things and we help each other. [...]
Day one of our science club went well. Acid & alkali reactions... including another explosion of cola on the playground! Wonder what they'll be doing next week?!
We have had a lovely first week getting to know each other in Class 4. We have discussed and agreed our school rights and responsibilities, how we can go 'above and beyond' not just in our work but showing kindness to each other, produced painted self portraits and have worked together to solve challenges. The new year 6s have shown [...]
The whole school had a brilliant time in the Sciencedipity workshops. We created chemical reactions in lots of different ways and ended by making slime to take home. Thanks Ruth 🔬⚛️

It all started a few years ago when the school became a 'Beach Rep' for the Surfers Against Sewage - the first and only School Rep with our School Council / Eco Council being the representatives. The charity soon developed a program [...]
Class 3 and 4 spent the morning outside playing the Taiko drums. We had a brilliant workshop led by Gillian Ashcroft. Adults and children worked hard to remember the rhythm and movement, we even counted to 8 in Japanese. We ended the session with the traditional Taiko 'thank you' by saying 'otsukaresama deshita' which means "Thank you, you must be [...]
Today was our mini sports' day... called Sports Challenge Day. Based on Athletic Union standards, distances and timings, Yr2 and older children challenged their personal results to try to beat or improve upon them. A great day! Remember sun cream and water for Thursday please.
That was a nice surprise, to walk in to class 4 library and see that they were making their own paper. Not sure if you've ever done this before, but it's fussy and messy work, and yet they were doing a great job and the finished sheets look LOVELY! Wonder what they'll be used for?
Sorry for the delay, we've been working hard to find an efficient way to share a photo album that also covers ease of sharing, privacy and adheres to GDPR guidelines. However, here's a gallery of photos from our lovely residential in Cheshunt and London. Everyone entered into the activities with determination and enthusiasm, and they all enjoyed a real sense [...]
