☀️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!

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!
