Today in crew we looked at our mark making and writing area. We have a crew compassion post box where children can make and share kindness messages. It was lovely to see so many children in provision making their own messages! #LovePlover

The Great Kapok Tree
This week, Year 5 have been diving into The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. The story, set in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, sparked some fantastic discussions about nature, conservation, and the importance of every creature in an ecosystem.
Inspired by the book, the children created their very own kapok trees. They worked carefully to bring the rainforest to life through their artwork, using bright colours and imaginative detail to make their trees unique and vibrant.
The children showed their character trait of quality and craftsmanship throughout the project. Each piece was produced with real care, attention, and creativity – and the results were stunning!
Well done, Year 5 – your kapok trees are a true celebration of both art and storytelling.

Hand washing – keeping our bodies healthy!
Today we have learnt how to keep our bodies healthy, by learning to wash our hands. We used glitter to represent germs and practised washing our hands thoroughly using soap. We noticed that if you just dip your hands in the water the germs don’t come off, you need to soap to wash them properly.
We learnt the song “wash wash wash our hands, wash our hands all day. Wash wash wash our hands, wash the germs away”.

Beautiful work!
UKS2 family learning event- Wednesday 8th October 2-3pm
We’re excited to invite you to Year 5 and 6 Family Learning Chocolate Bingo Event on Tuesday 8th October 2pm-3pm and we are kindly asking for donations of chocolates and sweets please! Please bring in any donations to 6B.
This will be a fun-filled afternoon — a chance to come together with your child, share some laughs, and maybe win a sweet treat or two. Prizes will be chocolate-themed and there’ll be plenty of opportunities for everyone to join in. This will also be an opportunity to support a great cause — all proceeds will go towards raising money for our crew charity, the RSPCA.
We’d love to see as many families as possible joining us.
Together, let’s make this an afternoon to remember — and raise vital funds for our charity at the same time. We’d be very grateful for any donations of chocolate and sweets beforehand.
Keep an eye out for more details coming soon!

Our compassion champions!
We are so proud of our first ever character trait badge winners. These two superstars both won the compassion award for raising money for charities outside of school. Harris has raised over £700 for children with cancer and Olivia was so brave when she had all of her hair cut off to donate to the little princess trust. We are so very proud of you both and the compassion you have shown to others. Above, they are pictured with our Cheif Academic Officier- Andy Sprakes who is our compassion champoion.
