• Anglo-Saxon Hedgehogs

  Fri 26 Jan 2024 Miss Wilkins

  We have been learning about how Anglo Saxon people lived. We used our analysing skills when looking at images and spotting clues about their daily lives. We then looked at some artefacts and discussed the types of jobs that people may have had to do around their settlements using the artefacts to help us explain. Finally, we tried our hand at building an Anglo Saxon house using a wattle technique. We also had a go at making some pots out of our Suffolk clay soil!

• Once upon a time in Foxes and Otters class

  Fri 26 Jan 2024 Miss Crush

  Since beginning their topic 'Once upon a time',  Foxes and Otters have been recieving postcards from 'Crumbs' the Gingerbread man. They are pleased to have a new postcard from Crumbs! This time the post man had to deliver it to one of our class members as the school was closed. The children used the clues to work out where Crumbs is now on his adventures. He’s been very busy travelling from London to Cardiff to Edinburgh. The children have been tracking his journey and are excited to see where he goes next.

• Adders Space Rockets

  Mon 18 Dec 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  As part of their topic on Space, Adders class have been researching space rocket designs. Based on their research, in Design and Technology, they have then designed their own rockets. They have looked at order and processes used and have explored stengthening materials e.g. glue vaneer. They have been thinking about how to join materials e.g. using velcro, to enhance their designs. The children have been demonstrating many of their ACE particles during this process, particularly Try and Try again..Perseverence, Everyone working together and Live, Learn , Laugh. Well done Adders!

  

• The Link Newsletter Christmas Front cover competition

  Fri 15 Dec 2023 Mrs Chinnery

This year the picture winner was Jude. Well done Jude! All of the entries are currently on display at the Comunity shop throughout December. 

  

• Hedgehogs Egyptian Day

  Fri 17 Nov 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  On Thursday, as part of their topic on Ancient Egypt,  Hedgehogs class had their very own Egyptian Day. They came to school in amazing costumes and spent the day coming up with theories about how the pyramids were built (after anaylising some historical pictures). They then were challenged to build pyramids with spaghetti for which the children needed all of their ACE particles, particularly perseverance. The Hedgehogs class had already learned about the mummification process through guided reading so they then mummified oranges using salt and sodium bicarbonate to turn their skins nice and leathery just like a mummy! In the afternoon, they created death masks using Tutunkahmen as their inspiration. What a wonderful day of ACE learning and fun!

  

• Children in Need 2023

  Fri 17 Nov 2023 Mrs Chinnery

  Today we dressed up in spotty and bright clothes in support of Children in Need Be SPOTacular day. 

  Once again, our amazing School Council organised a range of Pudsey/spotty themed games and activities for breaktime. These were very much enjoyed by all the children. Our very kind cook also baked us all a Pudsey shortbread cookie as well as some sponge iced with hundreds and thousands. Thank you to all those who sent in donations for the day, we raised an incredible £156.60!
