A huge well done to our handwriting winners this half term. I am so impressed with the standard of writing which is now proudly on display outside Mrs Parker's room.
Please have a look at some of their incredible work. I hope you enjoy using using your new handwriting pencil.
Can you guess what is in the picture this time?
Can you describe the colour, texture and shapes that you can see? Does it remind you of anything?
If you think you know the answer write it down with your name and give it to Miss Harvey.

Well done to those who guessed correctly today- it was a starfish!
Did you know that a starfish is not actually a fish and it cannot swim? It is an echinoderm which uses its suckers to crawl across the ocean floor.

Thank you for parents and carers who attended our book look. It was very successful and really nice to see faces in school again.

Year 1 had a busy afternoon in forest school this week. They have been bug hunting, playing forest ranger and carrying out a scavenger hunt. Some children used some of the natural objects that they found on their scavenger hunt to make some art work. They have also been using their different senses to walk across the log walk while being blindfolded! Well done Year 1.

The rain did not dampen the spirits of the children in Year 1. They have been making super fairy and pixie houses, looking after blue Alder Beetles and balancing on the slack line. They also enjoyed playing 123 Where are you?. I was really impressed by their teamworking skills.

Today we celebrated our Arts Award achievement. Our year 6 pupils received their Arts Award certificate linked to working with an artist in school around the topic of ‘Keen to be Green’. Where we had a focus on our environment and clean air.
