Year 1 had a great time on our sponsored walk in Grove Woods. We found 10 questions linked to the stories we've been reading and had to hunt for the wild things pictures!
Year 3 had a wonderful day at Layer Marney Tower. They enjoyed exploring artefacts from the Stone Age, used their hunting and gathering skills to collect food and created some beautiful pieces of Stone Age art work.
Yesterday our year 6 girl team took part in a football tournament involving 20 schools. We also took along 2 year 4 girls. The children all played brilliantly and demonstrated our school values. They came 4 th overall. We are so proud of you all!
Our Reception children enjoyed their first full day at school and particularly enjoyed their first time eating lunch in the dinner hall!
Year 6 had a fantastic time at Gunpowder Mills

Year 5 French Day.
We had a great time learning about French food and sports. We created boats to replicate the Vendee Globe race around the world and had our own mini Tour de France.
Year 1 have been enjoying our last DT unit linked to food and nutrition. We used our cutting ad ribboning skills to make salad pitta pockets. They tasted delicious!
Year 2 enjoyed celebrating National Writing day today by becoming authors and creating stories based on a nursery rhyme or traditional tale.
Year 6 have enjoyed making collaborative sculptures based on the work on glass artist Dale Chihuly
