☀️Happy Half Term! ☀️

What a spectacular, sun-drenched week ahead! With amazing weather expected for the half term break, it is the perfect time for everyone to relax and recharge. The past two weeks have been absolutely jam-packed with learning, creativity, and celebration across the school.

Here is a look at what the children have been up to:

EYFS
Our youngest learners have had a busy, hands-on fortnight!
Culinary Creations: The children became mini-chefs, preparing their own healthy 'McDonald’s', baking pizzas with fresh toppings, and making refreshing berry ice lollies. They even learned the British Sign Language (BSL) signs for all the ingredients!
Creativity & Nature: Inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk, the children built their own castles, drew beautiful butterflies, and created wonderful artwork to celebrate Sir David Attenborough. They then wrapped up the week by joining a live national assembly alongside thousands of other children across the country.

Class 1
R.E. Insights: The children explored the traditions of Ramadan, learning how families celebrate and creating beautiful themed crafts.
National Numeracy Day: The Class 1 Fruit Shop was a huge hit! The children used their 'spending money' to count coins and budget for fruit kebabs, brilliantly linking maths with DT, instructional writing, and healthy hygiene.

Class 2
Smart Spending: The children joined an interactive Zoom presentation to test their money-management skills.
Maths & Music: While the Year 4s were rocking out at Ukulele, the Year 3 children played number games and discussed the importance of numbers in daily life.
Future Entrepreneurs: Working in pairs and mixed groups, the children budgeted for new theme park attractions and designed their own summer fetes. The creative fundraising ideas they came up with were fantastic!

Class 3
It has been a week of big achievements and big business in Class 3!
SATS Success: The children wrapped up their final SATS breakfast last week in high spirits, complete with well-deserved speeches and cheers all round.
Theme Park Tycoons: After a school-wide assembly revealing that every job uses maths, Class 3 took on a 'business loan' for National Numeracy Day. The children used spreadsheets to budget, calculate area restrictions, and design a community theme park, saving any leftover cash for advertising!

Thank you to all the children for their incredible hard work and enthusiasm. Have a wonderful, sunny week, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 1st June! ☀️🍦🕶️
