  On Friday 28^th April, we enjoyed finding out about the learning in 5JK. They have been discovering information about Australia and were able to share many interesting facts. We were fascinated to find out that Australia is thirty two times bigger than the United Kingdom and that 80% of the country consists of desert! Finally, we thoroughly enjoyed listening to the musical talents of Philip, Ibtihaj, Tyrone, Leo and Zackarie, who played a musical extract on their brass instruments - they have learnt so much in their music lessons this year. Thanks 5JK.

Michaela and Benjamin did a super job of reading a poem.

The children learnt about the importance of being carbon monoxide aware, via videos, interactive learning and even a street dance! The children learnt that carbon monoxide cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched, yet it can cause serious health issues, if it is not prevented. The children were all provided with a carbon monoxide monitor to take home with them, to detect the deadly gas and protect their families.

  Mon 15 May 2023

  On Wednesday 17^th May, our Reception children enjoyed a trip to Warwick Castle. When first arriving at the castle, the children were greeted by a knight, squire and their horse! The children were wowed by the size of the castle and enjoyed exploring both the king maker exhibition and the state rooms, which demonstrated how and what the castle would have looked like in the past.  We were treated to a fantastic birds of prey show with condors, owls, eagles and vultures swooping over our heads!  The day ended with a play in the new Zog playground and putting the teachers in the stocks!  A fantastic time was had by all, and the children were a credit to the school.
