• My Happy Mind

  Fri 04 Jul 2025

  On Tuesday Mrs Redvers led an information session to parents about the ‘My Happy Mind’ programme that is being taught in school. It was a hugely informative session, and the children involved spoke so clearly and eloquently about the function of the brain and how our ‘happy breathing’ can help us when we are feeling anxious. Thank you to Mrs Redvers for leading this initiative so passionately for the benefit of all the children.

  

• Stuart Class assembly

  Fri 04 Jul 2025

  Stuart Class performed their assembly, and they shared with us all the amazing things that they had learnt in their Science lessons throughout the year. We were informed all about rocks, bones, forces, and plants, but most importantly we learnt what wonderful inquisitive scientists all the children are! Thank you to Mrs Lee and the year 3 team for all their work with making the props and putting the assembly together.

  

• Sports Day

  Fri 04 Jul 2025

  Last week we held our annual Sports Day. It was lovely to see so many parents and carers attend and support their children as they took part in a number of activities as well as the running races. Congratulations to Arundel House for winning the whole school relay, and this year they completed the double by also winning the trophy for the most points accumulated in the morning activities! The Arundel House captains were awarded the Sports trophy on behalf of their house.

  

• Year 4 Bake Off

  Fri 20 Jun 2025

  The Year 4 Bake Off reached the final yesterday, and the four finalists baked and decorated the most amazing creations. It’s been a tough competition, as I’ve had to taste 60 cupcakes, 10 scones and four delicious showstopper cakes, but yesterday Matthew was crowned our very worthy winner as he made a jungled themed chocolate cake! Congratulations also to our three runners up, Eve, Gianna and Nino who also made delicious cakes. (Photos of all the 4 cakes are on our school website, Instagram and Twitter). Many thanks to Mrs Groves, who volunteered her time to come in and bake with all the children.

  

• Pick Up Performance

  Fri 20 Jun 2025

  We had a wonderful ‘Pick Up Performance’ on the playground. The children sang a selection of cheerful songs, led by Mrs Laver. Thank you to everyone who came along; it was a great turn out!

  

• Roman Day in Year 3

  Fri 20 Jun 2025

  Year 3 had a fantastic time at their Roman Workshop today. Lulius Marcellinus, our legionary soldier, took them through life as a Roman landing in Britain - from authentic army training to tasting a 2000 year-old lentil stew and becoming a history detective. The day was a great combination of knowledge and fun,  and the children enjoyed every minute.

  

• Tee - Ball

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  On Thursday our Year 2 classes had a great time at the Tee-Ball festival at St. Edward’s Middle School. The children all tried their best at this new sport and all were wonderfully behaved and polite.

  

• Ancient Greek Day

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  Year 4 had fun today dressed up as Ancient Greeks! We made Greek pots out of clay, tasted a variety of foods, took part in Greek debating and looked at myths and legends. The children looked amazing; thank you for all your support with their costumes.

  

• Wild Worship

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  Year 4 took part in a special Wild Worship this week. Visiting clergy and advisors from the Diocese came to see what we get up to on the field with Reverend Rosie. The children had fun making kites after thinking about how the holy spirit felt like a wind descending on the disciples during Pentecost. We showed our visitors how we can become still and calm through meditation and how we use our lovely outdoor space to explore bible stories. The children commented that it was "the best lesson ever!"

  

• Pentecost

  Fri 06 Jun 2025

  It was a very happy birthday celebration at St Andrew's church this week. On Thursday, children from Years 1-4 visited to learn the story of Pentecost and how, after Jesus ascended, the disciples experienced the holy spirit and the church was born. Some children offered prayers, including Nethini who offered a Buddhist prayer, and we all dressed in flame colours to remember how one of the ways the holy spirit appeared was as a flame. We'd like to thank Reverend Rosie and her team of volunteers who worked really hard to look after us.
