A busy term of science has had the children learning about the life cycle of plants and the things they need to grow. One of the lessons involved them dissecting a flower to discover the different parts involved in pollination. We also explored how light allows us to see, or how the absence of light inhibits our ability to see. Then we finished this week by investigating shadows.
We had a fun day completing a carousel of activities in celebration of the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic games in Paris. The children did boccia, seated volleyball, running races, javelin throwing and tri-golf as well some creative torch and medal making activities. The day was bookended by an opening and closing ceremony to talk about the core Olympic values of EXCELLENCE, RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP. A really fun day all round.
Year 3 have had fun practising their circus skills this morning. They got to balance peacock feathers, juggle juggling balls, spin plates, ride stepper pedals, use stilts, twirl ribbons and perform stunts with flowersticks. At the end, they were treated to a special performance which included some highly suspenseful knife juggling!

We had a fabulous Sports Day with our Reception friends today! The children had a brilliant time taking part in running, egg and spoon, sack and obstacle races, all with big smiles on their faces. Everyone did a great job of cheering on their teams, and it was lovely to welcome so many parents, grandparents and friends to cheer along with us in the sunshine. A big thank you to the Friends who sold well-deserved ice pops to finish off a lovely morning.
We have been learning how to throw for distance.

Last week, we celebrated Arts Week with the rest of the school, taking part in lots of arty activities alongside our Reception Class friends. The theme for this year’s Arts Week was ‘Connections’, so we looked at the ways in which we are connected to our families, our friends, and our environment, as well as making physical connections between materials. We made handprints, practised our sewing skills, used clay, snipped up photos of ourselves to create new funny faces, painted paper dolls as ourselves, made transient art from natural materials, wove dream catchers, and even painted the pathway connecting our classes using powder paints! All of the Nursery children spent time enjoying the Reception classroom and garden, and the Reception children visited Nursery in their house groups – it was lovely working on our arty projects together! We finished the week with an exhibition in our outdoor classroom so that all of the parents could enjoy our creations.
Today, we went to Gressenhall for our ‘Once Upon a Time’ trip. We had so much fun! Some fairytale items had been stolen from the museum by the Wicked Witch and it was our job to find them! Along the way, we met Griselda (Cinderella’s older sister) who had us doing work on the farm, which included watering, digging up potatoes and doing the washing. We then helped Cinderella with her dusting and found her missing coins. We loved our tractor ride round the farm before lunch! We met a huge Suffolk horse and even saw black turkey chicks! After lunch, we searched for some missing items in the village shop before helping Jack to climb the beanstalk and find the golden egg! We finished up by making potions with the Wicked Witch. Thankfully, we managed to get all the fairytale items returned to the museum. Our imaginations were buzzing today! We had a super time!
