Disneyland Paris 2025 parent drop in- Monday 24th February 3-4pm

20th February 2025Miss Blackham

I am offering a drop in session for parents to pop to see me if they have specific questions regarding the Disneyland Paris trip. A formal meeting will take place once the exact timings have been confirmed with the company for each day/activity. This will not be provided to us as a school until the summer. However, we do have a rough itinerary.

The trip will take place on Monday 10th November and children will return home on the evening of the 13th of November. The trip will include a full day in Disneyland Paris, a day in Paris and the two travel days will consist of team blinding activities at the centre such as rock climbing, the big swing etc.

Rooms and groups will be decided in the autumn as we appreciate it is still a while away and friendships change.

Please note you are welcome to email any questions you have or pop to see me in 6B. I just wanted to offer a date where parents could come face to face to ask anything they need.

Thank you for the support with this school trip.

-Miss Blackham

Crew Meade shared the love today by cutting, sticking and writing their valentines cards in provision. They chose to give them for their grown ups, friends or even their pets.

Have a safe and lovely half term break Crew Meade and grown ups. Thanks for all your hard work this term.

Beanstalk Crafts

This afternoon we noticed our broad bean and runner bean had started to sprout and the shoot was growing. Then we became scientists and used STEM to see who could build the tallest beanstalk… Check out their brilliant beanstalks! #LovePlover

Safer Internet Day

14th February 2025Mr Pickering

2P have been learning about how to keep safe online. This year we have particularly focussed on how to avoid being scammed by people who might want to trick us and steal our personal data. We explored how we would feel and how we can seek help from a trusted adult.

Great Maths Learning

14th February 2025Mr Pickering

Well done to Year 2 who have been learning about equal and unequal groups and how this links to repeated addition. We have then begun to learn how the multiplication symbol can be used to represent this. We are doing great work and becoming more expert in our Maths skills.

It’s ‘bean’ a busy afternoon

13th February 2025Joshua Meade

In expedition this afternoon, we shared different thoughts about what we can do with beans. The children named various types of beans. We noticed beans can be different colours and shapes. Then we made some delicious beans on toast and discussed how beans are healthy for our bodies. We used our knife and fork skills to cut up the toast and before we ate “fork to stick and pick, knife to cut and scrape”. We of course tidied and cleaned up after ourselves! #LovePlover
