Happy Easter!
UKS2 went to St. John's Church on Monday to learn about the Easter Story.
The class have been busy completing their adventure stories this week. Lots of dialogue and descriptive phrases have added excitement to the yeti adventures.
Year 6 have a folder of Easter revision activities; it's only three weeks to SATs after we return from the holidays.
The link for Year 6 to order their Leavers' Hoodies is now live Leavers' Hoodies
Please can all orders be made before we return to school on the 20th April. We are planning for Year 6 to receive these at the end of SATs week.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hi,
An amazing performance of the Wizard of Oz from the Year 5s this week! I have been so impressed by the children's dedication to this performance that they have been practising since January. This professionalism certainly paid off; the audience loved it! The actors (and Mrs Amos!) are now looking forward to their after show party next week.
In class, the adventure story writing is underway. We are hoping to finish these epic stories before the Easter holidays.
Have a great weekend

Hi,
Year 5 have been busy preparing for their performance of the Wizard of Oz this week. We are all excited to watch the hard work come together next week.
In English, we have been practising some grammar skills like inverted commas as we build up to writing our adventure stories. We are hoping to have them written and published by Easter!
In maths, we have been looking at equivalent fractions and decimals.
Year 6 also completed some assessments this week. The children were very focused and it was great to see the progress that has been made so far this year. I shared information about the forthcoming SATs with parents this week. These will take place week beginning Monday May 11th 2026.
Another busy week next week...

Hello,
After a particularly exciting week for Year 6 on their residential trip to Peat Rigg, we reunited as a class. The children in Year 5 have been sharing their excitement about the forthcoming performance of the Wizard of Oz. I continue to be impressed with the children's excitement and dedication to this performance and I am equally excited to watch them in a couple of weeks time.
In class, the children have been busy planning their adventure stories featuring a mountain setting and a yeti! Watch this space....
In maths, my group has been focusing on decimals.
If you haven't had a chance to view the Peat Rigg Photos please click here Peat Rigg Photos A big thank you to Miss Bairstow for collating the 500+ photos and to all the staff who volunteered their time to make the residential trip possible. We had a great time and the children were fabulous!
We are already planning next year's trip for the current Year 5 - the dates are Wednesday 31st March - Friday 2nd April 2027. Further information about the trip will be sent to parents/carers in the Summer Term.
Have a super weekend!

Hi,
A productive start to the half-term.
Ash Tree Class have been busy gathering exciting vocabulary to write a character description about a Yeti! Watch this space.....
Excitement is mounting for the Year 6 residential trip to Peat Rigg. Miss Bairstow and I had a short meeting to answer any last minute questions. Just a reminder that if your child requires any medication that is not required during the school day then a medical form will need to be completed (this include travel sickness pills). On Wednesday, children should arrive at the normal time but come to the hall using the side doors. On Friday, we should return around the time of the end of the school day. If we are running very late, the office will send a text message to parents. Please email the class email address or contact the office if you have any questions.
The Year 5 children are equally excited about their forthcoming production of the Wizard of Oz. It has been lovely to see the engagement in learning lines and participation in rehearsals.
Have a lovely weekend and fingers crossed for some more sunshine!
