Y5 had a fun time at Turner's House this week. They learnt all about use of watercolours and the landscapes he chose to paint they were surprised to learn that Turner’s self-portrait and his most famous painting, The Fighting Temeraire, are on the back of the £20 note! https://t.co/e9EV4w4IqM

Reception had a great day out at Bocketts Farm, they enjoyed feeding and stroking the animals, playing in the playgrounds, having a tractor ride and watching a pig race. It was all great fun! When they returned they drew some beautiful pictures and wrote about their day out. https://t.co/EyWJRgCxRg
The Mini Vinnies did a fantastic job at their recent bake/book sale, raising an impressive £77 for children impacted by war. Their hard work and dedication is truly inspiring!
Thank you everyone, including staff, visitors, parents, children and helpers for all coming together so beautifully to help celebrate our 85th Anniversary Mass on the school field. The altar servers were fabulous, the children who read were incredibly proud to have been chosen to represent their classes and year groups, and the Year 3 pupils who led the congregation in singing and signing the Hail Mary, they were very spiritual in their delivery and it added to the overall atmosphere of the Mass. The Bishop complemented us on how the children were so well behaved and respectful. I think everyone would also agree that the choir, with live music were brilliant. Our special thanks also go to the musicians, the PA helpers and all those behind the scenes who worked to make this Mass a very special event.
"In their English lessons year 3 have been reading 'The Puffin Keeper' by Michael Morpurgo. Last week each child rewrote a scene from the book as a playscript. They then created a stage out of reused and recycled materials to go with their script. Here are just a sample of the wonderful, imaginative creations. Great work year 3!"
How lucky were we to have good weather yesterday morning for the whole school photograph, the photographers arrived to set up at 7am and were ready to start filling the staging at 9am, it took a while to place all the children and staff, but the rain held off until the photographs were taken.
Year 5 have been lucky to have artists from Turner House come in to do pastels and print making with us.
On Friday 5th July, our Reception classes enjoyed a Pirate Day, this was an exciting and fun experience for all. They made pirate hats and also parrots to wear on their arm, followed by lots of pirate storytelling. As the weather was good, they also managed to build a pirate ship! and ended the day with a fabulous treasure hunt on the field looking for jewel necklaces! What a brilliant day everyone had.
