It’s Party Time
For our last week, we decided to throw a party!
The children have spent time thinking about what we need for a party, designing their own party things and even writing some shopping lists!
The party was so much fun! We enjoyed singing, dancing, games and delicious party food.
Check out our party moves here!
A huge thank you to Mrs Cowgill who has been such a fantastic teacher. We will miss her lots!
We hope that all the amazing children have a brilliant summer holiday and look forward to seeing them back again in September.

Good Choices in Year 2
Today, we finished the year in style by celebrating our good choices.
In class, we fill a box in a hundred square every time we make a good choice. We’ve filled 13 hundred squares this year – that’s 1300 good choices!
Help at home by having an AMAZING summer!
Goodbye and Thankyou
We’ve had a lovely last morning together in Year 1. The classroom was filled with smiles and laughter as we spent time reminiscing about all the fun, learning and memories we’ve made throughout the school year. From our very first day to all the exciting moments in between, it was heart-warming to look back and see how far we’ve come.
To celebrate our journey, we also created our very own Year 1 graduation hats! The children were so proud of their creations and it was a joyful way to mark the end of a fantastic year.
I’m really going to miss seeing their smiling faces each morning. Wishing everyone the best of luck in Year 2!
A big thank you to all the parents and carers for the lovely gift — it’s truly appreciated.
Have a fantastic summer!
From,
Mrs Palmer
Design and Technology – Structures
Our design and technology unit drew a close this week, culminating in some fantastic making! We evaluated our products and celebrated our achievements.
Design Technology
In DT this term, we have been designing and making our own vehicle.
The children were set the task of creating a cart to carry Eggy the Egg. The design criteria for our product was that the carts needed to be durable, safe and movable. The children had great fun drawing annotated diagrams of their designs and then calculating the dimensions.
We used wooden dowel, axles and wooden wheels to build the carts. The children have used hack saws and G-clamps to cut the dowel to the appropriate lengths.
During the building stage, the children were constantly thinking about safety features to ensure that Eggy survives if he/she had a collision.
We tested the carts this morning and we only lost three Eggs.
It has been a fantastic few days and the children have really impressed with their initiative, creativity and attention to detail.
Being Healthy Week – handwashing
Being Healthy Week – a balance between online and offline time
We have been reflecting about how much time we spend online vs offline and thinking about signs that we may have spent too much time on screens or devices.
Being Healthy Week – dental hygiene
Further to our learning in science about teeth, we took time to reflect on the different ways we can look after our teeth. Some great tips here from Kiara!
Being Healthy Week – the importance of self care in keeping healthy
We enjoyed sharing ideas of how we can practise self care to keep ourselves happy and healthy. Lots of children recognised the importance of sleep and other popular choices included reading and having some time to ourselves.
Being Healthy Week – Keeping active
As part of our Being Healthy Week, Year 4 enjoyed learning how to fence and to aim for a target in archery. 
We practised how to use the “T position” for our footwork in fencing and had to show lots of perseverance when aiming for increasingly challenging targets in archery.
