Today a group of Year 6 pupils went to Pizza Express. As part of the morning, the children worked alongside one of the chefs to learn how to make pizza and also developed their understanding of food hygiene. These children were selected to go on the trip as they have gone ‘over and above’ in their learning both at home and at school throughout the Spring Term. Well done and we hope you enjoyed eating the pizzas!

Well done to our two Year 5 teams who entered the Maths Challenge competition yesterday at the Norwich School. Both teams worked incredibly hard and placed 6th and 12th in the competition out of a total of 42 school teams. We are so proud of you all and your hard work!
Year 5 Eco Houses
We have enjoyed constructing our eco-houses from 3D nets this week, these have allowed us to put our mathematical and artistic skills to the test. We will soon be completing a piece of writing to explain our decisions behind the designs and features that we have chosen. We’re looking forward to displaying all of our hard work in a few weeks’ time…
Lunchtime Art Club
Children across the school have enjoyed participating in our new lunchtime art club. They’ve had a go at building their own plasticine models which they will use later when creating some stop motion animations. This club has been running as part of our whole-school work on developing children’s composition skills.
Year 3 spent today learning all about the Hindu celebration of Holi
In the afternoon of our Hinduism RE day, we had a presentation from Sanjna and Davashree. Sanjna and Davashree are both Hindus. They shared with us their beliefs, discussed some of their deities, showed us some Hindu dancing and some of us even got to try on some Hindu clothing. We then tried some curry. Lots of us wanted to have seconds!
Year 6 The Arrival
In English today we started our new unit in English studying the book The Arrival. We had to think about who the characters in the image were and write questions that we would ask them. Mrs White and Mrs Andrews then went ‘in to role’ and we had a chance to ask them these questions.
Year 4 build a ‘World in a Jar’
This week year 4 built a ‘World in a Jar’ ecosystem. We spent time outside in the elements collecting materials to create them from, including soil, rocks and plant life. Back in the classroom, the children layered up these material before adding their earth’s ‘atmosphere’ in the form of clingfilm! We will make observations of our ecosystems over the coming week to see what changes occur.
Year 4 After School Café
A huge thank you to all year 4 parents who were able to attend our after school cafe on Wednesday 13th March. We read our current class English novel Beowulf as inspiration for the final artwork pieces that we would be creating. An art workshop then took place with pupils and adults drawing monster eyes using a step-by-step guide. To finish them, we used water-colour wash techniques to create the patterns for skin, scales and irises. Refreshments and an opportunity to chat and network with other parents, was provided half-way through. A creative time was had by all as you can see from the photos and many beautiful pieces of artwork were taken home by children and parents! Thank you for supporting our cafes this term. Look out in the school newsletter and school calendar for our upcoming dates in the summer term.
