What busy nursery children Spreading the happiness. Thank you Isla, Bradley and Daniel for your photos. Isla has been on a barefoot walk and found two elf doors. Bradley has been out in the snow building a snowman with his brother Shaun. Daniel and his brother Callum have been very busy. They have been splashing in the waves, crunching in leaves, breaking ice and wrote a message on a helium balloon. Well done children, keep spreading the happiness.
Thank you Jenson, Gabriel, Lucas and Olivia for spreading some happiness. Jenson has found a elf door with two troublesome elf’s who have been looking at some of his favourite stories. Gabriel has made a fantastic racing car. Olivia had a very crafty day decorating pine cones and looks like Lucas and Reggie have had lots of fun in the snow. Go spread the happiness Nursery !
We have some fantastic homework projects to share from the children in Year 6.
Lucie and Lucy have designed some eye-catching posters telling us all about the war and the rationing that took place.
Brooklyn, Cayne, Chloe and Lewis have all spent time thinking about what the war was like at the front lines and have made some fantastic models showing some thought provoking, realistic scenes of warfare in the trenches. Cayne’s memorial is a serious reminder of the lives lost in those trying times.
Evie has been thinking about what it might have been like to be an evacuee child and has come up with her very own evacuation luggage including a teddy, name tag, ration book and a hand-written letter to home detailing her journey to the countryside.
Many ‘TANKS’ to Loris and Lena who have spent time making their very own model tanks. Great use of craft materials has made for some really effective designs.
Get ready to take to the skies with Natalia, Danielle and Oliver who have all made Spitfires. The Battle of Britain really made a big impression on Year 6. Natalia has been very inventive and used a fidget spinner as her propeller. That’s the best use we’ve seen for one yet!
Nidhiya has made her own very sturdy-looking Anderson shelter. We especially like the real plant in real soil outside the door.
Last, but certainly not least, Isobell has spent some time putting together a PowerPoint presentation detailing the main events of World War 2.
We’re really proud of our children for working so hard on their homework. Their hard work, imagination and creativity really highlight the fact that when we make the effort, homework can be a lot of fun!

Well done everyone!
Yes nursery parents, this is a lesson just for you! All the nursery children have been working very hard over the last few weeks learning how to do disco dough. However some children have said “my mummy doesn’t know what disco dough is”, one child said “can you show my daddy”. So here it is, have a look and give it a go! We are sure you will love it as much as your children. We welcome your comments.
A big, big thank you and well done for all of our fabulous flying machines in year 2.
Here are some really fantastic homework projects from our excellent year 6 children. Lucy became the teacher as she showed her fantastic presentation on World War 2 including a section on her great grandad and his military service history as well as the many medals he had earned.
Millie showed us her Anderson shelter complete with real soil and a fork for digging up home grown veg!
Ruby brought in a variety of historical items including a baggage tag, a ration book from 1929, a kitkat wrapper and a diary entry from 1938 all with written entries explaining their significance.
Macy helped us ‘read all about it’ with this stunning front page of a newspaper, sketched then shaded with charcoal. Impressive work!
Well done everyone! It’s lovely to see the children putting so much time and effort into their projects.
Gabriel, with the help of his dad, has made a replica German sniper rifle for his World War 2 homework. He says it took him and his dad between 2 and 3 weeks to complete. Excellent work Gabriel!
