Year 6 had a great time at Go Ape for their very well-deserved end of SATs treat! The children were so excited and were fearless going up on the high ropes course and zip wires! We were so proud of how they represented the school too.

Y5 Art – Architecture
This week, year 5 have been busy dreaming big! Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about architecture and dream homes. We have been exploring architectural features and design in homes both large and small. We have been working in teams to create our own dream homes using ideas from our sketch books.
Well done Year 6!
Wow, what a week! Our Year 6’s have been absolutely amazing when completing their SATs this week – they have shown tremendous amounts of grit and determination and resilience.
Each day has started with a SATs breakfast, children have enjoyed lots of delicious options – topped off by today’s mouth-watering pancakes! A HUGE thank you to Nicki and the kitchen team for making sure our children had a nutritious breakfast before each of their assessments.
Thank you also to all the adults who gave up their time to support in Year 6 this week and to all parents and carers for their continued support. We wish everyone – adults and children – a well-deserved and restful weekend, when it comes.
Year 3 Art
Year 3 have explored Vincent Van Gogh, Alice Kettle and Hannah Rae in art. They thought about different shades and brush strokes, as well as texture. They were able to add stitches to their artist inspired work today and we’re all proud of their finished products!
Good Luck Year 6!
Next week our wonderful Year 6 pupils take part in their end of Key Stage 2 SATs. We couldn’t be more proud of how hard they have worked in preparation. Each and every one of them has shown so much challenge, grit and determination and concentration. We have been so impressed with their amazingly positive attitudes! The progress they have made, regardless of what happens next week, has been exceptional.
A huge good luck to everyone, however, remember this is just one week in the learning journey so far and all we can ask is that they try their best. Have a lovely, restful weekend, enjoy the sunshine and we look forward to welcoming our Year 6’s to SATs Breakfast on Monday morning.
We think this poem sums it up perfectly!
SATs don’t measure sports,
SATs don’t measure art,
SATs don’t measure music,
Or the kindness of your heart.
SATs don’t see your beauty,
SATs don’t know your worth,
SATs don’t see the reasons,
You were put upon this Earth.
SATs don’t see your magic,
How you make others smile,
SATs don’t time how quickly,
You can run a mile.
SATs don’t hear your laughter,
Or see you’ve come this far,
SATs are just a tiny glimpse,
Of who you really are.
So sitting at your table,
With a pencil and your test,
Remember SATs aren’t who you are,
Remember YOU’RE THE BEST!
Year 2 History – Titanic
This half term Year 2 have been learning about the Titanic. To learn more about life on board, they used picture sources to find evidence about the different things people could do and the differences between 1st class and 3rd class.
Y5 Flood Defence Visitors
This week, Year 5 explored flood defences as part of their Geography and English project about rivers. Thank you to Mr Marsh and Dr Richardson for taking time out of their day to share the important work they do – we asked lots of questions and even got to stop the flood!
Year 3 Fossils
Today, Year 3 designed their very own fossils using clay and outdoor materials.
They also learnt about the stages of fossilisation and created their own zig zag book.
Y5 Greek Day
Before the Easter break, we had a Greek day; we enjoyed designing and making our own Greek inspired pots; we all made Greek salads and we held our very own Greek Olympics (without the wrestling!)
Dentist visit
To continue our topic of “People who help us” we had a dentist come in this week to talk with Reception about the importance of looking after our teeth. We learnt about why we brush our teeth, how many times to brush our teeth a day, how long to brush our teeth each time and the techniques to use. Nikki even brought Barry the dinosaur to help and we got to dress up as a dentist!
