HOT HOT HOT!!
This week's sunshine has certainly kept everyone on their toes!
Our EYFS children have had the right idea about how to spend their time in this heat, with lots of water play and paddling to keep cool!
We have been so proud of all our children this week. Despite the exceptionally hot weather, they have shown fantastic resilience, adapted brilliantly to the changing routines, and continued to work hard and enjoy their learning. Staff have made every effort to keep classrooms and activities as cool and comfortable as possible, ensuring learning could continue safely throughout the week.
A huge thank you to all our parents and carers for helping to keep our children safe and comfortable during this exceptionally hot week. From applying sun cream before school, sending in sun hats, water bottles and cool clothing, to supporting us with our hot weather arrangements, your help has been greatly appreciated ❤️
We hope everyone manages to stay cool and enjoys a lovely weekend when it comes! ☀️

LEARNING EXPERIENCES!
It has been a busy and exciting week at Bayford! Class 1 worked hard during the Phonics Screening Check and showed fantastic effort throughout.
Class 1 also enjoyed a wonderful trip to Knebworth. Their guide was impressed by their knowledge and engagement, and they represented the school brilliantly!
EYFS have also been doing a lot of exciting learning! They began learning about different countries around the world and explored flags, maps and interesting facts about their chosen countries before enjoying some cooking. They made banana and chocolate ice cream using the Thermomix, baked chocolate chip cookies, and had lots of fun measuring, mixing and creating tasty treats together 😋

MATHS CHALLENGE
Earlier this week, some of our Year 3 pupils took part in the annual HFL Year 3 Team Maths Challenge.
After some dedicated training the previous week, our Math-mazing Mathematicians (the team name they proudly chose themselves!) spent the afternoon working together to solve a range of challenging maths problems, many of which required creative thinking and teamwork.
They represented our school brilliantly, showing determination, enthusiasm and excellent problem-solving skills throughout the event. Most importantly, they had great fun taking part!
We’ll find out later this week whether they have secured a place in the finals. Fingers crossed for our young mathematicians!

☀️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! ☀️🍦🕶️

What a wonderful week for EYFS! ☀️
The children have been busy with lots of hands-on learning and making the most of the lovely weather by taking their learning outdoors wherever possible.
In the past week, this has included making beautiful marbled cookies, creating imaginative flower potions in our outdoor area, and enjoying a walk down to the local pond. During the visit, the children learned all about water safety and took part in a fun scavenger hunt, spotting lots of interesting things in nature along the way.
It has been fantastic to see the children so engaged enthusiastic while exploring and learning together outside in the sunshine! ☀️

Skreens park
Class 2 have been having a fantastic time on their residential, making the most of every moment. From kayaking on the water to testing their balance and teamwork with crate stacking, the children are showing great enthusiasm and resilience.
They’ve already taken on exciting challenges like abseiling and traversing across a wall as well as archery, cheering each other on and building confidence with every activity. It’s great to see them step outside their comfort zones and support one another.
With the lovely weather, there was even time for some splashing fun after kayaking, and of course plenty of delicious food to keep everyone energised. We are so proud of them all – what an amazing experience! ☀️

☀️Sunshine☀️
We’ve been making the most of the warmer weather and lovely sunshine this week at Bayford, with lots of smiles and learning happening outdoors across the school.
Class 2 enjoyed a special ERO (Everyone Reading Outside) session, finding their favourite spots in the fresh air to relax and get lost in a good book. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm for reading in the sunshine!
Meanwhile, EYFS shared an exciting milestone as they took part in their first Bikeability session. They showed great confidence and determination as they began developing their cycling skills—well done to them all!
