🧪SCIENCE DAY🧪
We had a fantastic Science Day at Bayford earlier this week, filled with curiosity, questions and lots of hands-on investigations! Our youngest learners in EYFS and Class 1 had great fun exploring bubbles, testing different bubble mixtures and experimenting with a variety of homemade bubble wands to see which created the biggest bubbles.
Class 2 had an incredibly inquisitive day, asking some brilliant scientific questions and working together to find the answers. They explored how lava and ice cream are made, learned about gravity and space travel, and even discovered how to create a solar oven. The children set up experiments including a race between different liquids and tested how many puffs it takes to blow up a balloon, as well as enjoying some exciting demonstrations, including watching colours dissolve from Skittles to create beautiful rainbow patterns and the classic Mentos and Diet Coke reaction!
Meanwhile, Class 3 became forensic scientists after a terrible crime took place in the classroom — someone had stolen Miss Lourenco’s chocolate eclairs! The children carefully analysed fingerprints, studied handwriting from a mysterious note, compared shoe prints and examined witness statements to solve the case – we always did have our suspicions about Miss S…
What a brilliant day of investigation, teamwork and scientific thinking from all of our young scientists! 👩🔬🧪

WORLD BOOK DAY!
Today we have had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day with everyone coming in as their favourite Roald Dahl character. The children looked absolutely brilliant in their costumes, bringing their favourite characters to life and filling the school with colour, imagination and excitement.
In Class 2, the children have been busy creating their own revolting recipes. So far the ingredients have included worms, toe nails, blood, dandruff and more… Not sure anyone would like to be eating that for tea!
It’s always such a joy to see how enthusiastic they are about books and stories, and how much they love sharing their favourite characters with one another 📚 A huge thank you to all our parents for helping your children with their incredible costumes, and for continuing to help instil a love of reading at home 🌟

VERULAMIUM MUSEUM
Before half term, Class 2 had a fantastic (and very busy!) trip to the Verulamium Museum, bringing learning about the Romans to life. Working in small groups, the children explored artefacts and exhibits to discover how people lived in Roman Britain, developing their enquiry skills by asking questions and making links to what we have been learning in class.
The highlight for many was the interactive workshop on Roman market life where the children dressed up and took on different roles at stalls such as food, clothing, metalwork and kitchen tools, helping them understand trade, jobs and daily life in the past through hands-on experience. This immersive approach supported their speaking, listening and teamwork skills as well as deepening their historical understanding.
After lunch, they visited the hypocaust remains, where the children could see Roman engineering in action. A big thank you to our wonderful parent helpers and Mrs Gower for supporting the trip and making the day possible.

HALF TERM!
As we come to the end of another busy and exciting half term, we would like to say a huge well done to all of our wonderful pupils for their hard work and enthusiasm.
Before we sign off for a whole week, we wanted to share some photos from Class 1, who have been getting creative making fantastic animal masks! From roaring lions to cheeky monkeys, the classroom has been full of imagination, colour and some very convincing animal noises!
We hope all of our families enjoy a well-deserved rest over the break. It’s been a short but full-on half term and we’ve packed a lot in! We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for exciting learning.

YEAR 4 STEM DAY
What a brilliant day our Year 4s had earlier this week! The children enjoyed an action-packed visit to Sele School, who kindly hosted the Airbus “We Will Build It Better” programme.
The day was full of hands-on learning as the children safely used tools, applied their maths skills to design a playground using area and measurement, explored direction with a compass, and programmed coding robots (Botley!) to estimate and measure distances travelled.
The session finished on a high with making ice cream by hand. Delicious, but definitely hard work! A huge thank you to Sele School and Airbus for such an inspiring and memorable experience.

***TWIGS***
What a wonderful week of outdoor learning for our pupils last week, from our youngest through to our oldest. Despite the sometimes wet and rainy weather, surrounded by woodland and fresh air, the children embraced the chance to learn beyond the classroom — pulling on waterproofs, exploring nature, working together and enjoying the freedom that outdoor learning brings in all conditions.
One of the highlights of each day was making their own snacks in the woods. From shaping burgers to creating delicious pizzas, the children showed fantastic independence, teamwork and creativity. Cooking outdoors gives them the opportunity to practise practical life skills while having lots of fun along the way.
Days like these reflect the heart of our village school — curiosity, community and learning through experience. It’s great to see all our children working together to support one another, building confidence and making the most of our local environment, whatever the weather!

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! 🌟
