Our amazing curriculum

Basketball competition

This week 8 children took themselves out of their comfort zone and attended our first ever basketball competition. Although the height of our players may have put us at a slight disadvantage, the children performed brilliantly and showed incredible sportsmanship and bravery. Thank you to all the pupils and parents who attended and well done to everyone involved. We are so proud of you all

Bedtime stories

As part of our work on promoting reading in school we were delighted to invite local preschools and our KS1 children in to school to listen to stories and snuggle up by a (virtual) fire. They enjoyed a wide range of quality texts and rounded off the evening with hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows. It was wonderful to see the event so well supported and we look forward to hosting another event like this in the new year.

Magnificent Mathematicians

Several weeks ago, 8 fabulous children went to Winchester College and took part in a Maths competition. They represented the school brilliantly and this week were rewarded with a celebration meeting and range of certificates, including one GOLD! Excellent work everyone.

Year 1 and 2

Year 1 and 2 had a fantastic time this week on their first school trip to Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. The children attended a Victorian school, where they wrote on slate and recited the school rules, and then learnt all about Victorian money. We also found some posters about Queen Victoria's Jubilee which is a word which we have explored in our history lessons in class. Everyone had a great time and will now take their new knowledge back to their topic learning.

Year 5 and 6

In Yr 5 and 6, we have been investigating how changes in a circuit impact the performance of the components. We quickly realised that using more batteries than bulbs would lead to the bulbs burning out.

Feeling festive

This week the children were lucky enough to have a special visitor; yes Father Christmas did come to town! The children loved visiting him in the grotto and many also enough buying gifts for family and friends at the Christmas market. Huge thanks for the FOS who organised and ran the event so brilliantly.
