Last week, the Reception children stayed for lunch for the first time! The children were enthusiastic and really enjoyed this experience they couldn’t stop talking to each other about what they were eating! On the second day, a few children realised the importance of eating first and talking after. We are encouraging the children to concentrate on eating their food but, as lunchtime is a social occasion, they are still learning how to get the balance right.

Monday 13th September was celebrated as Roald Dahl Day. We joined in the global celebration of Roald Dahl and celebrated our favourite Roald Dahl characters and stories in school. The children also dressed up as their favourite Roald Dahl characters which was the major highlight of the day. Well done to all the children who participated and read a variety of popular Roald Dahl stories.

On Monday 8th to Friday 12th July, some of the Year 6 pupils visited the Gordon Brown Centre for their residential trip and they were fortunate enough to have perfect summertime weather! The children took part in various outdoor activities including the GBC Megabowl, Roman Gladiator Training Camp and the Trim Trail. In the evenings, the children had a DVD, Sports and Quiz night. All the children had a fantastic time and enjoyed every minute of the trip. The children were also given responsibilities such as cleaning up after meal times and feeding the goats which helped to give them a sense of independence, responsibility and team work. When the children got back from the residential, some of them did not want to come home as they were reliving the past week with their friends. All the children gained new found confidence and independence and now feel even more ready for starting secondary school in September.

On Wednesday 12th June the Year 4 pupils took part in Pedestrian Training delivered by the STARs team. The children were spilt into small groups and learnt about the different hazards on the roads as well as how to keep themselves safe when walking on the pavements and crossing roads, particularly busy ones. Once they had received their initial training, the children ventured out onto the local roads around the primary school to put into practice all they had learnt. It was an invaluable experience for the children as they witnessed some of the hazards first-hand and felt confident in knowing what they needed to do to keep safe. We hope that by taking part in the Pedestrian Training, this will encourage more children to travel to school sustainably (walking, biking, scooting etc.) as they will feel more confident about travelling along our roads. 

The Year 3 pupils went to visit Chiltern Air Museum. They had the chance to understand what life was like for a Victorian schoolchild. They learnt how to make the rag rugs. The pupils enjoyed the Iron and the Stone Age workshops. They also explored the grounds and met some of the animals. The children built up their knowledge and understanding of the prehistoric period.
