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.

Last year the Government stated that a school week should be at least 32.5 hours from when the morning register is done until the children go home. This means that our school day is currently 10 minutes too short. We will be consulting with parents over the coming weeks to find out what your preferred change would be; either we do morning registers at 8.50am (doors will open at 8.40am) or we finish at 3.30pm instead of 3.20pm. You will get a text to tell you when the consultation has begun.

After the Easter holiday, our Year 6 children were surprised and very impressed with the new music wall, which has been installed in the Year 6 corridor. The music wall is a unique design and illustrates the history and development of music over the years from 1473 to the present day. It even features QR codes, which can be scanned to listen to a particular piece of music – we can’t wait to share this with the rest of the school!

On Friday 5^th May, we are planning a range of exciting activities to celebrate the King’s Coronation. On this day, children are invited to come in to school dressed in red, white and blue (or even regal purple). They will also spend the day participating in a range of activities including making flags, crowns, designing paper plates, enjoying a picnic and taking part in a whole school coronation quiz. 

On Thursday 23^rd March, we invited children to come to school dressed or represented as a number to acknowledge World Maths Day. There were dots, sequins and numbers galore and class teachers took the opportunity to explore maths and demonstrate that maths is all around us and affects everything we do.      

On Thursday 23^rd March, our Nursery and Reception children enjoyed their first Easter school disco. The children (and staff!) had a great time showing off their dance moves and the children especially enjoyed the tuck shop.
