  • Art in year one

    Published 02/04/19, by Juniper Education

    Year 1 took part in an exciting 3D art project where we created a castle and knights themed wall display. Many parents came in to help us. First, we made pebbles or flat plates with newspaper, then we covered our shapes with newsprint and finally we used coloured tissue & metallic papers to add to colour to our artwork. Art Solutions then put all our artwork together on an amazing display in the lower school hall. We are very proud of our work.

  • Commemorating 100 years since the end of the first world war.

    Published 12/11/18, by Juniper Education

    The whole school came together on Friday to commemorate 100 years since the end of the first world war. We all gathered in the KS1 playground with some special guests from the British Legion and Father Tim. Year three and the dance club showed us some dances they had been working on. Year four sang a melody of war time songs. Some children read out some poems and Oaks class sang a song one of the children had written for their homework. The bugler sounded the last post and we stood for two minutes silence. The children from each class then placed a reef on the stage underneath the thank you sign (which had been decorated with poppies the children had made in their classes). The children behaved impeccably and it was a very moving service.

    This term our topic has been the Vikings.

    We have studied their way of life and looked at the human and physical geography of the Scandinavian countries they came from.

  • A busy term!

    Published 06/07/18, by Juniper Education

    Farm day - Gemma's Farm visited us in the summer term; there were a number of different farmyard animals to see and there was even a pink chicken! We were able to hold and groom some of them animals and although it was very hot, it was lots of fun.  

    A Royal Picnic - Year 1 celebrated the Royal wedding in style.

    We all sat together on the field in a great big circle and had a picnic together. We had sausage rolls, salad, crisps and a cake. It was lots of fun; we really enjoyed our celebrations.

    Tennis Festival - We took part in a Year 1 tennis festival. We were able to practise a number of different skills. These included: accuracy, balance, speed, agility and hand-eye co-ordination. It was lots of fun and we learnt many new games, led by our super Year 5 helpers!

  • Healthy Eating Week

    Published 18/06/18, by Juniper Education

    Healthy Eating Week 2018

    From Monday the 11th of June to Friday the 15th of June it was Healthy Eating week.

    As the chosen ambassadors, we were set to create a PowerPoint. We made it on our own, only referring for help if we really needed it.

    The group presented it for an assembly on the 11th (Monday); on Wednesday (13th of June) we had some ideas of fruit and vegetables we wanted the school to try, this included: mango, kiwi, apricots, radishes, papaya and sugar snap peas.

    Ms Clements brought in the fruit and veg; Mia brought in some low fat humus and yogurt.

    The children really enjoyed tasting the new foods and hopefully this will inspire them to eat more healthily at home and out of school.
