Voucher Counting!

Here are some Year 5 pupils giving up their time at lunch to count the thousands of vouchers we have pouring in from Tesco and Sainsburys! Thanks to everyone who has collected for us - please keep bringing them in!

Year 6 SATs

Well done to Year 6 who took their SATs tests this week. Everyone worked extremely hard and did their very best. We are very proud of you all!

Year 6 artists

Year 6 have been learning about Cubsim and studying the work of Cubist artitsts, such as Picasso. They have created their own pieces in this style, using observational drawings as a starting point. The children have also been looking at the work of Andy Warhol and have made Pop Art style images of their own faces!

Mini - beast Hunt!

As part of our 'Bugs' topic Year R have been on a mini-beast hunt! We are going to use the information we gathered from this to form tally charts and bar graphs.

The Hungry Caterpillar

Year R have been thinking about the story of the Hungry Caterpillar. After reading the story they then role-played it before writing their own version. Their writing was amazing, well done Year R!

Greenfingers at Fairweather's

Year 3 have earnt their green fingers whilst working in the learning garden at Fairweather's in Beaulieu.

We saw composting in action then learnt about looking after plants with our hands on activities - from weeding, watering and preparing planting beds to transplanting flowers, planting potatoes and potting up tomatoes, for example. We even tried a few fresh radishes!

We'd all worked up an appetite for our picnic in the New Forest en route back to school. Now we can use our new skills whilst growing things at school!

Interclass potato competition!

Every class is competing to see who can grow the highest yield (most weight) of potatoes by the beginning of July! The children in each class have planted 3 seed potatoes and it is up to them to care for their potatoes well.

Will your class have the highest yield?

Good luck everyone!
