OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Class 1 had an exciting start to the Spring Term with a fantastic trip to London to visit the Tower of London. The children explored the grounds and learned lots of fascinating facts, including that the Tower was once a zoo and that kings and queens were gifted wild animals such as a polar bear and even a tiger!
While exploring, the children were lucky enough to meet a Beefeater, who talked about his role and answered many thoughtful questions. They also spent time imagining what life might have been like in 1666, bringing their history learning to life.
After lunch, Class 1 visited the Crown Jewels and were amazed by their beauty and sparkle, before heading into the White Tower to see the armour. Later in the day, they took part in an excellent drama workshop led by Mr Swift, where interactive activities helped everyone truly experience life in 1666.
The children’s behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the day were outstanding. They were a real credit to the school, and we are incredibly proud of them all! 🌟

🎄TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!🎄
As we come to the end of a term filled with enriching learning opportunities, new experiences and lots of fun, we also draw 2025 to a close.
Each and every one of our pupils has worked incredibly hard this term, and we are so proud of you all. A special mention must go to our youngest children, who have completed their very first term of school with such confidence and enthusiasm.
Earlier this week, EYFS treated us to a wonderful Nativity performance. As a Christmas gift to you all, we are delighted to share some photographs from this very special occasion.
We wish all our families a happy and restful Christmas break and look forward to welcoming everyone back in January, ready for an exciting 2026.
Merry Christmas from all of us at Bayford! 🎄

🎶CAROL SERVICE🎶
What a beautiful (if rather wet!) way to spend the afternoon, enjoying our Bayford Christmas Carol Service at St Mary’s Church.
From clear, confident readings to lovely part-singing and rousing congregational carols, every child, from our youngest to our oldest, shone and made us immensely proud.
Huge thanks to Mrs Neilson for bringing it all together, to the children for their commitment to learning lines and performing with such confidence, and to our wonderful staff who stepped up as musicians for the occasion.
We’re already looking forward to that staff choir next year… 🎶✨

🎵SINGING SCHOOL🎵
One of the many things we are proud of at Bayford is how musical our school is, and one of the ways we have managed to achieve this is down to our fantastic Music teacher, Mrs Neilson.
She recently published an article on the benefits of singing in school, and we certainly reap those benefits here!

As one of our parents kindly wrote after our Nativity performance this week, ‘What a lovely read! How lucky are our children to have such a wonderful music teacher in Mrs Neilson. Fantastic singing and performances all round last night! We thoroughly enjoyed it and it was lovely to see the children having so much fun performing too. A huge well done and thank you to all those involved!’
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! ✨🎵

✨ CLASS 1 NATIVITY ✨
Class 1, you were absolutely AMAZING! Today’s matinee performance was a joy from start to finish — the perfect blend of music, giggles, and Christmas sparkle. Anyone joining us this evening is truly in for a treat!
A huge round of applause to every single performer: Mary and Joseph, our wise men and shepherds, our bright stars and beaming angels, and of course our wonderfully clumsy angel, who’s tumbles on stage drew sharp breaths from the audience they were so believable!
Enormous thanks to all the adults who made this show possible, especially Miss Senior and Mrs Willis, whose hard work and creative choreography brought the performance to life.
Wishing everyone a warm and sparkly start to the Christmas season 🎄✨

TWIGS
It may be cold and a little soggy outside, but that’s not stopping Bayford from embracing the great outdoors!
This week, every class is taking part in their half-termly TWIGS sessions, swapping the indoors for a full day of outdoor learning.
Class 1 welcomed a surprise visitor, while Class 3 encountered some rather mysterious goings-on of their own… 🧝✨

REMEMBRANCE DAY
Yesterday, Bayford students took time to remember and honour all those who gave their lives for our freedom.
Dr Foster led a contemplative Remembrance Collective Worship at school, and afterwards, Class 3 visited the memorial at St Mary’s Church to lay their wreath and share their beautiful cinquains — a special five-line form of poetry written for the occasion.
Everyone showed great respect throughout the day, and we were so proud of the children’s reflection and thoughtfulness ❤️
