Buddies assembly

Miss Frowen has been running a weekly Buddies assembly where we can share our favourite books with a 'buddy' from another year group. Courtney and Adam from year 5 said that they think the assembly is "really good" and Ben from year 5 said "It's really good to get to know other people".



Take a look at how the assembly works for yourself!

Junior Leaders




Twelve Y6 pupils have become Junior Leaders! They have been working with Mr Tomley from Lakers School and with our staff at lunchtimes to provide activities for the rest of the school to join in with. They are very responsible, putting out equipment and ensuring lots of pupils get involved and have even designed some activities themselves. Don't they look smart in their sweatshirts? Thank you to Mr Tomley and Lakers for providing these.

Wow! Did you see Year 4 in their Harvest Assembly? They introduced the Seeds For Africa Charity to the school and explained how we can help children in Africa to grow their own fruit and vegetables, providing them with the nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy. They give the children water, seeds, tools and trees to shade the growing vegetables.

You can help by donating any loose change you don't need to our collection (Mrs. Martin would be happy to receive any donations) and by supporting our Non-Uniform Day.

It made us feel excited to be helping some children of our own age to enjoy life that little bit more and very grateful for having so much healthy food available for us to eat.

Cotswold Wildlife Park




Oh dear - were things ever so wild in the Cotswolds as when Year 4 hit the ground? We had a great time learning about the animals of Africa. Do you know why giraffes have black tongues? We do! It was a fab day and the weather was great.
We walked through the Madagascar enclosure and had great fun as the lemurs watched us watching them, then we saw those gorgeous meerkats - Mrs. Moore would have loved it. There was so much to see and learn and a good time was had by all.
The adults were a bit quiet on the bus going home though... they just couldn't keep up the pace!!!!!

Year 4 Faith Bebbington




Year 4 had a great time working with Faith to create super African Animal Sculptures! Can you guess what they are made from? Old newspaper!!! Both Class 3 and Class4 worked hard to complete a giraffe, a monkey, an ostrich, a crocodile and a baby rhino. You can see them in the school entrance.

Y3 Art Day







Y3 were fortunate to be able to work with Faith Bebbington, an artist from Liverpool. First we looked at some figures that Faith had made and then we created a forest using willow frameworks, newspaper and packaging tape. You can see them on display in the entrance of school. Can you identify which trees the leaves come from?

Y3-Y6 Buddies




Y3 and Y6 have been working together as 'Buddies'. They have been using their time together to develop their enjoyment of reading by sharing books.
