SUMMER TERM ☀️
Welcome back to school after the Easter break – the sun has come out now we are in our Summer Term! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with rest, fun, and family time; it’s been lovely to see all the smiling faces back in school, ready for a new term of learning.
EYFS got straight back into everything and enjoyed a fantastic hands-on activity earlier this week, making fruit jelly together. As they prepared the ingredients, they also learned the sign language for different fruits, combining communication with creativity. There was lots of excitement and curiosity throughout the session.
The children are very proud of what they have made and eagerly waited for the jelly to set. The look delicious!

🎶 New Bayford School Anthem Announcement 🎶
It might be the Easter holidays, but our hard-working staff and students have still been busy behind the scenes…
We’re delighted to share that, from next term, Bayford will be introducing a new school anthem, to be sung together at the start of each day. After much discussion, we decided we would be fools not to embrace the opportunity to strengthen our shared identity and celebrate what it means to be a Bayfordian.
We believe this new tradition will build pride, boost community spirit, and create a positive start to the morning for everyone.
We’ve attached a short clip featuring some of our former students performing the anthem, and we’d be grateful if you could encourage your child to practise over the holidays so they’re ready for our first whole-school sing-through when we return after the Easter break.

EASTER SERVICE
It was a joy to come together earlier this week for our Easter church service. The children spoke, sang, and reflected beautifully, sharing the message of hope, and new beginnings that Easter brings. We are so proud of the confidence, respect, and thoughtfulness shown by all, and we thank our families and community for joining us in such a special celebration.
Throughout the term, it has been wonderful to see the children’s enthusiasm for learning, their creativity, and the way they have supported one another. From classroom achievements to wider school activities, there has been so much to celebrate, and we are incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished.
As we break up for the Easter holidays, we would like to thank everyone for such a positive and successful term. We hope you all have a restful and happy Easter break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for another exciting term ahead!

🧪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.
