As a result of poetry work they had submitted to a competition last year, the Year 4 and 5 children were invited to attend an interactive poetry reading at Woodbridge School. We listened to two published poets, John and Emily, reading work that they and others had written in an anthology themed around Space. There […]
This half term, the Owls are doing a Science topic on Scientists and Inventors. The first person we looked at was Gerald Durrell and his conservation work in Madagascar. We did an experiment to show why deforestation was having such a devastating effect on Madagascar. We filled three bottles: one with compost and seedlings, one […]
On Wednesday 12th July, all the Year 4s, along with those from other schools in our pyramid, attended a special, rocket-themed Science day at East Bergholt High School. Over the day, the children learnt how to build and launch their own water rockets. I’m proud to say that Stratford’s rockets stayed in the air the […]
On Friday 14th July, the Owls class visited the Latitude Festival. For the first part of the day we explored the Kids’ Area, where we took part in art and craft activities, painted our faces, handled snakes and had our faces painted. We then split into two groups. Mr Wheals’ group took part in a Science […]

On Wednesday 26th April, as part of our Edible Garden unit in DT, the Owls class made their own pesto.

Our cook, Rachel, very kindly […]
On Thursday 20th April, the Owls class attended the Schools’ Farm And Country Show at Trinity Park in Ipswich. We spent the morning looking at a range of farm machinery, where we got the chance to ask the farmer a lot of questions. We even got to ride a tractor around the ground. All the […]
On Friday 10th March, it was once again the Owls Class Assembly. The children read out some of their writing, and demonstrated their knowledge of Maths, Science and Geography. As always, we were very proud of all the children, and would like to thank all the parents and relatives that attended.
On Friday 18th November, two exciting events happened in the Owls class. In the morning, as part of our Geography work, we took a walk around the village. We drew sketch maps as we went and used a trundle wheel to measure the distances between places. In the afternoon, we had our Class Assembly. The […]

The fruit that we collected is going to be frozen and the children will be cooking with it […]
On Friday 23rd September, it was the Owls Class’s turn to show their work from the term so far. The children read their stories, showed their artwork, performed dialogues in French and demonstrated Science experiments.
