Amazing craftsmanship and quality in DT!
Just look at this superstar sharing her amazing bird box design in today’s DT lesson. I was blown away by Ellie’s drafting and re-drafting to ensure her bird box incorporated all of the features we discussed to ensure it would be sustainable, sturdy and the most successful design. 10 crew coins for working hard!

We are F2 crew!
In crew today, we worked together to get the hoop all around the circle without letting go of eachother’s hands. We realised we needed to help eachother by talking, guiding and encouraging. We reflected in our debrief that this is what good friends do for eachother. It was not easy but we got by with a little help from our friends. We ended the day watching some awesome friends in the movie, Toy Story!
Craftsmanship and quality in maths learning.
6L smashed long division again today. These superstars demonstrated craftsmanship and quality in their long division methods and I am so proud of them! 10 crew coins for working hard. Keep it up boys, I know you’ll smash those two markers next week!

Courage in Year 5
Last week, our Year 5 children showed incredible courage as they took on a special mini-project all about the RSPCA. From the very beginning, they threw themselves into learning about animal welfare and the important work the charity does – approaching each task with enthusiasm, bravery, and curiosity.
As part of the project, the children explored real-life skills such as budgeting, percentages, and planning for fundraising or awareness campaigns. These topics can be challenging, but Year 5 tackled them head-on, showing confidence and determination as they worked through problems and made thoughtful decisions.
One of the highlights of the week was the creation of their beautiful leaflets promoting the Five Welfare Needs of Animals. Each leaflet was a fantastic blend of creativity and compassion, demonstrating not only their understanding of animal care but also their commitment to raising awareness in the wider school community.
We are incredibly proud of Year 5 – not just for the quality of their work, but for the courage they showed in trying new things, asking questions, and thinking deeply about how to help animals in need.
Well done, Year 5! Keep being brave, thoughtful, and brilliant.
Just another Mathsy Monday…
It’s a good job the children had their brains switched on today! Mrs Bubb kept forgetting how to count carefully so the children had to remimd her! These were the rules they made:
- Say the numbers in the correct order.
- Move only one object for each number you say.
- Stop counting at your stopping number. (This tells you how many).
After correcting Mrs Bubb, the children had a go. Some of us needed reminding to stop at the stopping number but by the end, we all had thumbs up for being careful counters!

Hansel and Gretel workshop
Wow, what an amazing morning we have had today! We were so lucky to have Kerry and Tash come in from CAST Theatre, to teach us the story of Hansel and Gretel, through drama. The children enjoyed getting into the roles of the different characters and exploring props. Once we had finished we went back to the create doughnuts, for the gingerbread house flooring, which we will see in CAST theatre when we go to visit. We are so excited to go and work with Kerry and Tash again at CAST theatre in a couple of weeks, and watch the performance of Hansel and Gretel.
Mrs Williams was so proud of how well everyone participated in this workshop, and the great respect and integrity all children showed towards our visitors. Well done nursery!
