The HPAMA allotment has had a makeover & the transformation is fantastic! The bark paths have been replaced with paving slabs, which will make it easier for the pupils to access the area to complete their gardening jobs! The allotment is blooming in the spring sunshine ☀️

🌟 Every Step Counts in Computing Club! 🌟 Our talented pupils put their coding skills to the test by creating step counters with Micro:bits! 🏃‍♂️💻 Working carefully through design, coding, & testing, they brought their ideas to life & proudly explained the process themselves.

Butterflies class are making the most of the lovely sunny weather this week and spending a lot of time in the outdoor area. The water play has been extremely popular, as well as watering the flowers, herbs and vegetables and enjoying snack time as a picnic!

Reception - This term in art we are focussing on the artwork of American sculptor Augusta Savage. The children have had the opportunity to create their own sculptures using clay and spoke about what methods they used for creating different marks, impressions and shapes.

We had a visit from a very well known author called Lisa Williamson. She spoke to the children in years 3-6 about her journey to becoming an author, she read aloud to the children & discussed what inspired her to write the books. Some children received a signed copy of her book!

It has been a very egg-citing day in EYFS - the arrival of 30 eggs, which have been placed in incubators in Nursery and Reception. Hopefully by the end of the week we will have 30 very cute fluffy chicks 🐣

In History this term, the topic for Year 4 is ‘How can we learn about the Kingdom of Benin?’. To broaden the horizon for our children, we had a school trip to the British Museum, here the children were able to further their understanding and learning of the Kingdom of Benin.

👏 Clap and Code! Our KS2 children have been learning how to use Micro:bits to detect sound. They created a fun project where the Micro:bit lights up when you clap! It was a great way to learn about sound sensors and how we can use code to control what happens.

The children in Nursery, Reception & Year 1 had a visit from a Dental Nurse. She spoke to the children about keeping our teeth clean and healthy and why it is important to visit the dentist. The children then had a go at cleaning Dexter’s teeth using a very large toothbrush!

Careers in Tech - Part 1 The Journey & Arrival. A group of year 5 and 6 girls attended the TCS office in London through a STEM programme. The TCS building was incredible, with stunning views and such a warm welcome.

Careers in Tech - Part 2 App Design Challenge. The girls worked in teams to tackle real world sustainability problems. They brainstormed, designed app storyboards, and pitched their ideas to industry experts.

Careers in Tech – Part 3 Smashing Stereotypes. In the afternoon, the girls met professionals from across the tech world. It was eye-opening, confidence-building, and a lot of fun. The big message? Tech is for everyone — and the girls saw that for themselves.

We are so lucky to have several different fruit trees in our Nursery garden. All the glorious sunshine has ripened the cherries and the children enjoyed picking them and taking a bag of cherries to eat at home🍒
