Whole School Worship - God’s Green Earth
As we approach the end of Lent, Mrs Ham led a special worship to celebrate all the efforts our school community has made to give back by looking after our local area and beyond. We couldn’t believe just how much we’ve all achieved in 2026 so far. Some key actions include: Reception class earning the Ruby Robin Award through building bug hotels, spotting birds and taking part in a wildlife quiz; our collective Big Winter Wander to raise money for the World Fund For Nature; our whole-school tree planting day on Jack’s Key; the WOW group planting two community orchards on school grounds; Mr Fairbanks building bird boxes and placing them around school; the Rota Kids collecting pre-loved teddies and coats for charity; the WOW group creating posters about the community poo bag dispenser located outside school, and putting them up all around the local area; and some of our children and parents choosing to go litter picking to help keep our streets clean. We have much more planned for the future, so keep a lookout for our next initiative. We ended our worship with prayers of thanks for God’s creations and singing one of our favourite Fischy Music songs: Make A Difference. Key Stage 2 stayed behind to hear the winners of the March TT Rockstars battle. A huge well done to the winning classes, Years 3 and 6, and to our class champions: Charlie, Charlie, Isabella and Isabelle.
Year 6 - Stand Up Bingo
Today we had a special visit from Tesco, who led a fun game of “Stand Up Bingo”. Each child started standing with a raffle ticket and as their numbers were called, they sat down, until only one person remained standing. It was great fun for everyone involved and a big well done to Seb Taylor for being our class winner!

Year 6 - Spaghetti Truss Bridges
As part of our Year 6 DT project, the children have been learning about bridge structures and design. The children worked incredibly hard to plan, design and build their own truss bridges using spaghetti, carefully considering strength, stability and how to reinforce their structures. Throughout the project, they showed fantastic creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills, testing and improving their designs as they went along.
Year 6 - Spaghetti Truss Bridges
Following on from our Year 6 DT bridge project, we are so proud to share the children’s final spaghetti truss bridge creations. After all their hard work, building and refining their structures, it was fantastic to see their finished bridges come to life. Each one was unique and showcased the children’s creativity, effort and understanding of strong design.
Year 6 - Easter Art
For our Easter service, Year 6 created an Austrian cross inspired by Aboriginal designs. The children used warm-coloured tissue paper to add vibrancy, alongside black tissue paper to form striking outlines and patterns. This creative piece reflects both the significance of Easter and the rich artistic inspiration behind their work.
Year 6 French
This week in French, year 6 were learning how to form the future tense. They learned new vocabulary for how to say: tomorrow, next week and next month, in French. Their tasks included correcting the teacher's sentences, translating sentences about activities in the future tense from French to English, and writing their own sentences in the future tense.
Year 6 - Football
Today in PE, Year 6 focused on developing their football skills, with a particular emphasis on technique and maintaining position during play. The children worked hard to keep possession, demonstrating control, awareness and teamwork throughout the session. The children practised accurate passing, movement off the ball and supporting their teammates to create space and build play effectively. A key focus was understanding positioning, helping the children to stay organised and make better decisions during small sided games.
Year 6 - Measuring Angles
Today in Year 6, the children focused on developing their understanding of measuring angles and calculating missing angles within triangles. Using protractors, they worked carefully to measure angles with increasing accuracy and precision. The class applied their knowledge of the properties of triangles, knowing that angles within a triangle add up to 180°, to solve a range of problems. The children demonstrated great focus when aligning their protractors correctly and reading scales accurately, showing a growing confidence in their mathematical skills.

Year 6 - World Down Syndrome Day
To celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, Year 6 took part in ‘Rock Your Socks’ Day! The children came to school wearing bright, colourful and mismatched socks to show their support and celebrate differences. The children watched an engaging and inspiring video that highlighted the experiences of people who love life with Down syndrome, helping to promote understanding, kindness and inclusion. This sparked thoughtful discussions about celebrating individuality and respecting everyone’s unique qualities. The children then designed their own unique socks, using creativity to express what makes each of us special. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and positivity throughout the day. Well done Year 6 for embracing this important message!
Year 6 - World Trade
This week in Geography, Year 6 explored the import and export balances of countries around the world. The children developed their understanding of how goods and services move between nations and how this trade impacts a country’s economy. The children learned about the concept of trade balance, discussing the differences between imports and exports and what it means for a country to have a surplus or a deficit. The children also explored how debt can have a significant impact on a country’s development and how increased income through trade can lead to improvements in infrastructure, education and quality of life. Through discussion and enquiry, the children considered how global trade links countries together and how economic decisions can affect people’s everyday lives.
