Classes
Last week in science, the children were learning about light; about different light sources and reflection. On Friday, we were very lucky that Mr Clark was able to visit and allowed us to experiment with different lighting equipment. This included a ‘mirror ball’, lights and different coloured filters.
This week Woodpecker class have been very busy making lots of Christmas decorations to give to West Suffolk Hospital NHS Trust in order to help cheer up the patients. The children wanted to brighten up the hospital wards and cheer up patients who are poorly over Christmas by giving them a variety of different decorations and get well […]
ABC Pre – school invited the children in Kingfisher Class to see ‘Magic Ian’. Magic Ian was very funny and he did lots of magic tricks. The children in Kingfisher Class could not stop laughing. Thank you ABC Pre – school for inviting us, we had lots of fun.
On Friday, all the children went into their ‘Houses’ to create Christingle oranges, with the older ones helping the younger ones put sweets and raisins on cocktail sticks and sticking red tape around the middle. After lunch, the children carried their oranges, which included a glowstick, down to the church. Rev. Rosalind conducted a service, which the parents joined us […]
When Swans class were walking back to school after singing to the community, eagle-eyed Archie spotted a little creature on the path.

Mrs Bilner & Mrs Marshall took Swans Class to the Parish Rooms to sing carols to the community. They sang numerous carols both traditional and new ones to the community who were enjoying their Christmas lunch.

The JRSO’s attended the speed check with the Community Speed Awareness Team on Wednesday. The JRSO’s wrote down the registration numbers of the cars which went past. They kept an eye on the speed camera to see if the cars were speeding. The JRSOs really enjoyed it and caught two cars speeding!
On Friday 27th November the JRSOs held a Brightness Day. The children and staff came to school in their brightest clothes and raised money for ‘Children in Need’. There were winners from each class including Miss Kluge. There were also winners of the competitions that the JRSO’s arranged.
The JRSO’s trained the children in Woodpecker and Kingfisher Class on how to cross the road correctly. The children really enjoyed using the road and pretending to be cars and pedestrians.
The children in the Kingfisher Class performed their assembly on Friday. The work they showed was on the theme of ‘Ourselves’. They named body parts, they spoke about the visit from Sue Hunter the Dental Nurse, they showed collages of their favourite foods, said the letters sounds of the alphabet and sang the ABC song. […]
