On Wednesday 4th December, Year 5 children demonstrated their individual talents as they performed in their annual Christmas show, which this year, told the story of the cruelty of King Herod during the time of Jesus. The performance was linked to the contemporary world, sending out the message that anyone can be a superstar! It was a wonderful musical performance by the children, who sang their songs with delightful enthusiasm. A fun party for all Year 5 pupils then took place, where they all celebrated the end of a very successful day!

Friday 22nd November, the Year 1 pupils took part in a Christmas Cupcake Workshop delivered by Michelle Drummond, who is one of our parent governors. The children were excited to make their own reindeer cupcakes using chocolate buttons, pretzels and cherries! They showed great skill and composure as they carefully decorated the cakes and were extremely proud of what they had achieved.

On Friday 25th October, the Year 5 children visited Hampton Court Palace. The children toured and explored the Palace, learning about the many different Kings and Queens that lived there. They also took part in the Inventors Workshop in which they discovered different inventions that not only made the Palace an impressive place but also how they made day to day life much easier. Despite the chilly weather all the children had a really good day and enjoyed every minute! 

During World Mental Health Day, White Eagle Class in Year 5 embarked on a week long journey of activities to help understand what mental health is all about and help support their overall wellbeing through projects which taught them the skills required to recognise and deal with their emotions and take on a more positive mindset altogether. They continued with their daily Guided Meditation, helping them clear their minds and focus on themselves. Children have made their very own ‘Positive Affirmation Jars’, with the objective to help promote self-esteem by encouraging children to keep positive statements in their very own special place. 

All the new Nursery children thoroughly enjoyed their time at School. The pupils used the interactive whiteboards to practise writing different sounds they have learnt, engaged in sensory play using the sandpit and soft foam, and attempted various Mathematics games to develop and reinforce basic numeracy skills. They were all thrilled to return to Nursery and were ecstatic to see their friends!

Last week, the Reception children stayed for lunch for the first time! The children were enthusiastic and really enjoyed this experience they couldn’t stop talking to each other about what they were eating! On the second day, a few children realised the importance of eating first and talking after. We are encouraging the children to concentrate on eating their food but, as lunchtime is a social occasion, they are still learning how to get the balance right.
