Buddy the crazy SPaG elf has arrived in 6B!

2nd December 2025Miss Blackham

The crazy elf has arrived in 6B but he is no ordinary elf, he is a SPaG expert! He has started his visit by challenging 6B all about adverbials. They had to produce anchor charts and prove they could include of range of adverbials accurately in sentences before he would release the chocolates. 6B smashed it and are well on their way to becoming SPaG experts too! I wonder what he will get up to tomorrow?

I have a feeling it might just link to dashes!

Developing our Gross Motor Skills

28th November 2025Joshua Meade

Even in the cold conditions, there is no better way to keep warm than being physically active – ensuring children aged 0-5 get 180mins of intense physical activity a day. We have been using our gross motor skills to develop our locomotion, stability and object control skills. #LovePlover

Showing compassion

27th November 2025Mrs Price

Some of the children worked together to build a castle today. They listened to each others ideas and worked together to move equipment. They were an excellent example of compassion.
