Each team competed against other Suffolk Schools and performed a gymnastics routine to music; there was also some ‘body management’ work. Mrs Allum spent many hours devising routines, choosing music and training the […]
Whilst the weather was still cold, this didn’t stop the children having fun in the sun today. From catching cups to circus tricks and balancing logs the children certainly made the most of the dry weather!
This week, in Maths, Year Three have been investigating turns. We practised quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns.

With green-ness returning to the county, it is easy to forget how white everywhere was last week. Although it was very cold, some of the children managed to enjoy some snowy fun on the school field. All wrapped up in coats, hats, scarves and gloves, some snowmen were built and snowballs thrown.

They also said a poem and danced like a dragon. Badgers looked at the zodiac calendar and tried hard to write the animal names in Chinese. Otters retold the story […]
In school, we are always talking about how to stay safe on-line. However, we believe, from time to time, it is important to come together to discuss this in more detail. Internet Safety Day was on Tuesday 6th February and this week, all the children came together for an internet safety assembly before participating in […]
On Monday 5th February, 8 children participated in a swimming gala at Hadleigh Pool; they were involved in a number of races including a relay medley and a front crawl medley.

Everyone got really involved in the task and the children really enjoyed explaining their learning […]
On Thursday afternoon and evening, the children took to the stage to entertain visitors with their acting, singing and dancing in a whole school performance of ‘A Midwife Crisis’. Well done everyone and thank you to all those involved in planning and preparing for the show.
