• Farewell to Our Amazing Year 6

  Fri 21 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  Today we said farewell to our amazing Year 6s. They have been a truly wonderful year group who have upheld our ACE particles brilliantly. During their Leaver's assembly, each of them shared memories of their time at Somersham Primary School and it's amazing to see just how much they've grown, not just in size but in confidence too! We all wish them the very best as they take the next step in their school journey. We know they will be ACE!

  

• Adders Production of Alice in Wonderland

  Fri 21 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  Over the past few weeks, Adders class have been working really hard on their production of Alice in Wonderland. They have made some amazing costumes and props demonstrating lots of their ACE particles in the process. The Dress Rehearsal performance was on Monday and was very much enjoyed by all of the children and staff. The children really got into role and their singing was amazing! On Tuesday it was parents and carers turn to watch and by all accounts it was very well recieved! Bravo Adders! 

  

• Hedgehogs Visit to Needham Market

  Fri 14 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  On Wednesday Hedgehogs class went to Needham Lake on a Geography field trip where they identified the flora and fauna of the lake. After this they created a map of the lake plotting all the key features in and around it which included coming up with symbols for each feature to be used in a key. 

  Having stopped for a lovely picnic lunch and play, the children then investigated the high street of Needham Market.  They identified the services and architecture of the high street and sketched any unusual buildings they spotted as they walked along.

  

• Hedgehogs Samosas!

  Fri 14 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  This week the Hedgehogs started a DT project which began by exploring the origins of the Samosa and then following a recipe to cook a vegan Samosa and chutney. They then evaluated their Samosas and dips considering how they tasted, what changes they would make to the recipe next time and the skills needed to create their own. On Monday they are designing and creating their own ones! I'm sure they will be very tasty!

   

  

• Foxes and Otters Trip to Felixstowe

  Fri 14 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  On Thursday, Foxes and Otters travelled to Felixstowe where they spent a wonderful day at the beach taking part in a range of activities including building sandcastles, shell collecting, digging moats/lakes and identifying living things in their natural habitats e.g. limpets. They even enjoyed a lovely ice-cream and it was very pleasing that members of the public commented on the ACE behaviour and manners of the children. Well done Foxes and Otters!

  What a fantastic way to bring to life and celebrate the end of their topic 'Splash'.

  

• Sports Day Friday 30th June

  Fri 07 Jul 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  Sports day 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

  On Friday 30th June we had our Sports Day and it really was ACE! The children loved their parade at the start with their house teams and 'The Eye of the Tiger' music playing. All of the children engaged brilliantly in the different races and activities, showing wonderful sportsmanship and supporting one another.  

   

  Thank you Miss Crush for organising a fantastic day for all teachers, children and parents!
