An enormous congratulations to Millie, Libby, Jacob and Walter for passing their Grade 1 Viola and Violin exams. We are incredibly proud of them, especially as they all achieved the highest possible grade - Distinction

Thank you to all the parents that purchased books and other items at the book fair! We really appreciate how much you encourage your children in their reading.

£825 was spent on books which has resulted in over £400 worth of free books for our school library, which is fantastic!

The children have had input into choosing new books for the library that they can borrow each week.

The children in Ash and Cedar class were lucky enough to have a visit from Nik at Foskett Farms. He showed them his tractor and the children asked him lots of questions. Nik then showed the children some crops, potatoes, carrots and shallots. This was a wonderful opportunity for the children and linked into Cedar’s DT topic and was a snippet for Ash Class, as in the summer term they will be learning all about farming.

Today, School council arranged a fundraiser in the form of a mini marathon. This is in aid of Mrs Frost running a marathon for Great Ormond Street in April. We all took part in running 5 laps around the field, which made up the length of a marathon. Well done all & Well done Mrs Frost! 

Today, children from all year groups came together at lunchtime and participated in some mindful colouring. This is another strategy we are teaching the children to help them stay happy and healthy. 
 

We had a lovely morning when we joined a live lesson for mental health awareness week. We listened to various athletes, doctors and TV presenters. We were then able to ‘bust some moves’ with a mood booster dance! We left assembly feeling energised and informed about who to speak to if we were having a tough time. 

Today, we took part in a mindful movements lunchtime. The children collectively followed a routine to help them clear their minds ready for the afternoon ahead.

Maths in the World of Work: Baker

Ash and Cedar Class (Reception-Year 2)

What a day of in the life of as baker! We worked hard to make no-bake granola and made links between maths and this career. The Year 2 children helped the younger children to follow and read the list of ingredients and the method to make no-bake granola. We learnt to use a range of scales to carefully count and weight out the correct ingredients. The younger children also carefully counted handfuls of chocolate chips to go on top of their granola. We also needed overcome certain issues, like accidentally adding too much of an ingredient. We worked well as a team to enjoyed the finished product!

Willow Class (Year 3 and 4)

We discussed real life jobs that require maths. We then did a role on the wall for the job of a baker. The children then calculated the cost of different cakes and showed their partner using ‘real’ money.

Elm Class ( Year 5 and 6)

In Elm class, Year 5 and 6 spent the week learning about some of the mathematical skills required to work in a bakery. The children began the week by converting units of measure. This included converting between grams and kilograms and litres and millilitres as well as converting between metric and imperial units of measure. They then went on to explore ratio and proportion, finding out how much of each ingredient they would need when multiplying the recipe. Finally, they got to put all this into practice by making their own cupcakes, with the recipe they had calculated during the week; also providing them with a further opportunity for accurate measuring.
