Today we were very excited to learn about the Mammal Web that we are using as part of our Science work. Mr Straughan helped us attach the Mammal Cam to a tree in our little garden. We are hoping that the camera will catch videos of animals that living in or visit our school grounds. We cant wait to see what the Mammal Cam catches!

Parent Governor Election
Dear Parents/Carers,
I am writing to inform you that Martin Boden, Mark Lee and Papi Taieb have been elected to the positions of Parent Governors, following the recent ballot.
May I take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all candidates for showing such a keen interest in supporting the school.
Thankyou also to everyone who took the time and trouble to vote. It is great to see that we have such supportive parents.
Best Wishes
Donna Lee

Well done to all children who impressed their teachers this week and earned a Head Teacher award. We are all very proud of you 👍
Another brilliant week to all children on their Lexia. Well done to all who achieved their next certificate 👍
Well done to our TT Rockstars this week. Another fabulous effort by all 👍
Today we celebrated the 25th anniversary of World Book Day!
This year’s theme was marked by the message: “You are a reader.” All of our children were encouraged to to dress as their favourite book characters and bring along their favourite story to share.
It was great to see our oldest children enjoy sharing stories with our youngest children …. And we had a surprise visit from one of our favourite Superheroes! 🕸📚
Today we had lots of fun kicking starting Science Week in school. This years theme is growth. We began by having a mass planting session with the whole school …. We are excited to watch our flowers grow.
Miss Grimes worked with class 1 where they had the most amazing time planting different seeds in each one of the fingers of their rubber gloves, some contained cotton wool and others contained soil – all were attached to the window once complete and we are going to watch them grow! 🪴
Miss Milburn loved working with Class 2. We combined science with art and created our own waterlilies. We folded the petals and predicted what would happen when they were put onto water. Some children predicted that the flowers would open up and everyone observed closely to see if they were right!
Mr Graham visited Class 3 and we looked at healthy eating. The children categorised a large variety of food into their food groups, looked at the food they had just eaten for dinner and asked the question…is it possible to eat healthy ‘sweet’ food?
The children worked incredibly hard and helped to make Sugar Seed balls using natural ingredients.
Well done to all our children who demonstrated their rights respecting gold ethos in abundance 👍
Mrs Morton had the pleasure of working with Class 4 and certainly had their minds blown when they discovered that a Coral Polyp was in fact and animal (with tentacles to paralyse it’s prey before eating it) and not a plant or a rock type!
We looked in detail at the world beneath our Ocean when studying one of the largest and most diverse ecosystems in the world – the Coral Reef 🐠
The most memorable part of our afternoon was creating our own individual Coral Polyps – that were completely edible 🤩
Mrs Aspinall visited Class 5 and they learned about DNA … everyone found out very interesting facts … we couldn’t believe that 50% of our DNA is the same as a banana! We had 3 main suspects, Mrs Lee, Mrs Hill and Mrs Gallacher we interviewed all 3, who had very good alibis. Only Stacey guessed the culprit …. Mrs Hindmarch!
A massive thank you to Mr Straughan who helped us make our cress trays in Science club.
Science week is fasting approaching us and this year the focus is growth. We decided to celebrate this by planting cress seeds … we can’t wait to try them!
