Year 1 Book Illustrations
Year 1s have been reading Tell Me a Dragon by Jackie Morris as our final text this year. We have been so inspired by the illustrations in the book that we have created and painted our own dragon illustrations today. On Monday we will write poems about our dragons on these “book pages” and present them to the class.
Final day of sailing for Yr6
Year 6 completed their fourth and final day of sailing today. Lots of smiles as they ventured out in control of their boats. More photos on our school Twitter feed.
Nursery stay for lunch
Nursery have been staying for lunch this week to get a taster for what it will be like in September. Macaroni Cheese has been a particular favourite for the main course, followed by water melon.

Year 6 have had three great days of sailing – 1 to go!
FGB – 6th July 2021
The full Governing Body met, via Zoom, last night, for the final meeting of the school year.
It was a full agenda which included items on the School Improvement Plan, Budget, Pupil Premium and Sports Premium.
Governors discussed Safeguarding and the Annual SEN Report and approved the new Anti Bullying guidance which included input from children across school.
They received an analysis of the completed Parents’ questionnaires and undertook to complete their own review regarding the skills and competences that they bring to the Governing Body.
The Governors thanked all staff, children, parents and carers for their hard work and commitment over the past year and approved the arrangements for next year whilst Mrs. Trickett is on maternity leave.
Puppet Making in Year 1
Year 1s learned and applied new skills today in joining textiles. They explored gluing, stapling, safety pinning and finally sewing together pieces of fabric. They designed their puppet characters from the Gingerbread Man and threaded their needles to do basic stitching. Some found it very tricky to persevere with the sewing and we were impressed with their resilience and willingness to try new things. Superb effort Year 1s!
Year 1 Forest School
At their Forest School session this afternoon the Year 1s enjoyed a campfire! First they hunted down appropriate sticks to prepare for marshmallow roasting. Then after a couple of listening games the fire were lit and the marshmallow roasting began. The children showed great listening skills and fire safety and had a really lovely time.
