Through music and actions they took us on a journey to the mountain, the cave, the sea, in space and back down to planet Earth.

The children learnt about an orchestra and watched Charly, Sarah and Tom play the clarinet, ukulele, flute and harp. 

Everyone was in awe of the performance and enjoyed joining in too.

We would like to thank 'The Tiny Magic Orchestra' for joining us.

Thank you to Mr Taylor and Mr Stoneham for organising.

The children joined many other schools to find out about the Police role and different aspects of the law.

Foundation Stage and Year 1 children and staff came to school dressed as number blocks and participated in a range fun and practical maths-based activities. They made mega mazes, played number games and dominoes, completed a number hunt, practised their half and quarter fractions and listened to counting songs.

Year 2 played on TTRS for the first time, practising their tables and playing against their friends.

Year 3-6 completed different maths activities in their classes.

All the children in KS2 took part in a TTRS arena battle in their class to find the fastest person. These children then battled against the other winners from their year group in front of all of KS2 and year 2 in the afternoon. Children in years 2 - 6 also took part in a Battle of the Bands to see which class could collect the most TTRS points in the day.

Year 3 winner: Alex M.

Year 4 winner: Jimmy W.

Year 5 winner: Olivia K.

Year 6 winner: Jack A.

 The day was a huge success and the joy on the children’s faces was a joy to behold.

 Congratulations to all competition winners and to those children voted 'Best Dressed' in their class. 

The students had to create a planet saving idea as part of the event. They had the idea to create flowers that would hold sugar water as a way to help the bee population around our school. They presented their idea alongside 9 other schools at the event. We were awarded £150 and won a lovely book all about bees.

Here are some of the children as they boarded one of the minibuses that took us to our destination. We were very excited!

The farm is not only home to the animals you would normally expect to see on a farm, like pigs and chickens but also some more exotic animals in need of a home like meercats and even a porcupine!

On our arrival the children lined up to have their buckets filled with feed for the animals and it was then their job to make sure no animals went hungry. There were also jobs like watering and egg collecting before being able to get up close and personal with the recently born animals like chicks, lambs and rabbits. 

The weather was kind to us, and all children behaved respectfully whilst meeting and then taking care of the animals  - a truly unforgettable day - Well done Reception team and Thankyou to Gemma's Farm - we hope to return!

They explored the buildings and grounds, made sketches, followed maps and had a fantastic day.

They completed a dance to the song 'Consider yourself' from the musical Oliver and found out about the different jobs children did in Victorian times.
