WELCOME BACK!
What a lovely first day back! It has been wonderful to welcome everyone back to school and see the children settling into their new classes, catching up with friends and getting back into the routines of school life.
There have been lots of smiles, conversations and excitement as we begin a new school year together. We’re looking forward to all that the year ahead will bring and wish all our children, families and staff a very happy start to the new term. 🌿

THANK YOU!
As another wonderful school year full of moments of laughter, perseverance and growth comes to a close, we wanted to say a big THANK YOU. It has been a year filled with achievements that every member of our school community should be proud of. Thank you to our pupils, our families, our staff and our governors for your continued support throughout the year.
Special thanks and farewell go to our amazing Year 6 children as they begin the next chapter of their journey. We are so proud of the young people you have become – not simply because of what you have achieved in the classroom or on the stage (although, that has been remarkable!), but because of the kindness, resilience, determination, compassion and good humour you show every day. You will always be an important part of our Bayford family, just as we hope the memories and friendships you've made here will always remain part of your story. We wish you every success as you look ahead. Remember to go with confidence, work hard, dream big and, above all, continue to be yourselves.
To everyone in our Bayford school family, we hope the summer holidays bring plenty of time to rest, make wonderful memories and enjoy time with those you love. All that is left for us to say is have a great summer, and we look forward to welcoming you back on Thursday 3rd September!

The curtain rises tonight! 🎭 Whilst you’re waiting for the show to begin, here are some sneak peek photos from today's matinee of Olivia.
Our talented Class 3 children have been working incredibly hard, and have put on the most incredible show. Expect plenty of toe-tapping tunes, memorable characters and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them jokes. Even Sherlock Holmes, who may or may not be on the case tonight, would admire the attention to detail that has gone into bringing this production to life.
We look forward to welcoming everyone tonight for what promises to be a fantastic production. Congratulations, Class Three!🌟

SUMMER FUN
As we make our way through our final half term before the summer holidays, school life is busier than ever! The continued warm weather has meant that plenty of outdoor activities have been able to continue, including Class 2 enjoying their Summer Challenge Reading in the beautiful Sacred Garden. We also welcomed parents of our Year 2 and 3 children to a Maths Evening, where Miss Lourenco introduced our KS2 maths curriculum and explained our Teaching for Mastery approach. Despite the heat, it was a fantastic evening and greatly appreciated by everyone who attended.
Our youngest children enjoyed a special visit to the church as part of their RE learning, exploring areas they don't usually get to see. A huge thank you to Mrs Neilson and Colin for taking the time to show them around and helping bring their learning to life.
And finally, a huge well done to Class 1 for organising a brilliant football-themed fundraising day! From creative competitions and fun challenges to the ever-popular cake sale, the whole school got involved and helped make the day a huge success, raising an amazing amount for Hertfordshire Zoo. Thank you to everyone who supported the event and contributed to such a fantastic day.

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!
