Ambitious and Enriching Learning Opportunities

Today our children had a fantastic opportunity to meet the brilliant Saints and England footballer Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who popped in to tell us a little bit about his career, his England goal, winning the play off in May, his fantasy team and how he can jump so high! He talked to the children about the importance of respect on and off the pitch, answered lota of questions and met our football teams. Thank you Taylor and Southampton FC

'Duck walking' in year four - all In aid of Children in Need!

A busy week for both boys and girls football teams this week. On Thursday, our girls team hosted Vigo Primary School in the second round of the Hampshire Cup. Weeke were on top form and won the game 10-0. Goal scorers: Ayla (5), Alice (3), Lily (2). On Friday, our mixed team of boys and girls travelled to Basingstoke to face Oakridge Junior School. As reigning champions, there seems to be a target on the back of the team this year with every team eager to beat us. It was another fantastic display from the team with a brilliant 4-0 win. Goal scorers: Charlie (3), Billy (1) .

Winter has begun! Yurts4Life visited today. They have fitted the winter cover and thermals to help keep us cosy and warm during outdoor learning.

Our children are very excited today. We are all dressing up in something bright. Let's all work together as a community and give what we can. Here's the link to donate - please share and spread the word.

EYFS have been learning a bonfire dance this morning. They enjoyed using ribbons as the flames of the fire.

We've again been lucky enough to visit Sparsholt College this week with the Year 5s. They were focussed on physical activity, communication, resilience, oh and getting wet!

Our year fours have designed Saxon style brooches and learnt how to make a simple loom and weave cloth as part of their history focus on Anglo Saxons - we think their work is pretty impressive!

Just before half term, our year four children prepared fruit and vegetables using 'claw' and 'bridge' grips as well as peeling and grating; they created some interesting smoothies as part of their Design and Technology learning.
