The children had an amazing evacuee lunch at The Shed in Sproughton. Berty was impressed with all their knowledge about WW2 and they learnt a lot more from the artefacts which he shared – including the air raid siren!
The children became ‘artists’ and went on a walk to collect natural objects such as feathers, grass, flower buds or heads, leaves, twigs, pine cones. The children looked at the collection and discussed how they might use the objects to create paintbrushes. They also thought about what kind of pattern or texture they will make. […]
The children enjoyed another ‘Forest Schools’ session with Mrs Martin and Miss Jones. The children got changed into their outside clothes and headed out to the Forest Fun area and sat on a log in the log circle. Mrs Martin welcomed the children into the Forest Area and went over the Forest School rules. The […]
On Wednesday 20th September 2023, a Stone Age man called Sealbit travelled through time to visit the children in Woodpeckers class! The children spent the day exploring The Stone Age through hands on, immersive experiences. The children learnt how man made fire, how life changed for Stone Age people when they began farming, how they […]
In Science The Swans have been learning about specular and diffuse reflection. They were able to draw scientific diagrams to show how light is absorbed more by some materials than others. They then had some fun trying to reflect light beams to hit a target and using multiple mirrors to guide cars around a road with […]

Children from Year One and Two joined Miss Jones for games club. The children played a variety games, following the rules and taking turns. Lots of fun!
The children began exploring their new topic for this half term. They were asked to work together to complete two puzzles. The children completed the puzzles and made a picture of ‘The Great Fire of London’ and ‘Samuel Pepys’. The children gave their ideas of what they thought they were. The children watched a clip […]
In art we have begun looking at the artist Henry Moore. We explored mixing colours and different drawing media to create the different colours and effects he uses in his ‘Shelter paintings’.
Owls’ Science topic this half term is Properties and Changes in Materials. This week we looked at solubility. The children had to work as scientists to plan and carry out their own tests to investigate the solubility of different materials. Lots of great learning and discussions.
To launch our new History topic, the Owls class started the term with an Ancient Egyptian immersion day. The children first had to ‘excavate’ some artefacts from an archaeological dig, examine them and make predictions about them. In Maths, we investigated how many cubes we’d need to make different sizes of pyramids. We then tried […]
In July 2023, Yer 5 & 6 visited Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia for their residential trip. They were involved in many, many activities which included gorge scrambling, canoeing and mountain walking. The scenery was stunning and very different from Suffolk. The instructors were amazing and the children’s behaviour, confidence and willingness to try new […]
