Ambitious and Enriching Learning Opportunities

Our Eco team had a wonderful morning at Hill head beach searching for crabs, various shells and seaweed. They learnt lots about the coastline and were impressed at how clean the beach was. They paddled in the water and also made some wonderful beach art with their discoveries. Thank you to Mrs O'Shea for organising such brilliant opportunities for our eco team!

Thank you to Weeke Primary School WPSA for organising a brilliant afternoon - what a great turnout! A special thank you to everyone who helped either set up, run the events and stalls and pack away.

Mrs Groves' art club were given the task to create some artwork to brighten up the teachers' work room. This is what they came up with; we think their own interpretation of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night is excellent!

It was all about flags in Early Years today! Comparing them, making them and waving them. We're World Cup ready!

#Schooltrip #lovelearning With a range of adaptations, an amazing staff team were able to take the Y2 children (on an air conditioned coach) to the seaside so they could be immersed in an experience that is vital to their learning. They had lots of shade, were well prepared with water and hats and had plenty of rest breaks. Lovely breeze and a little cloud cover. Thank you to parents for your support; the experience will be invaluable to your child's learning.

Lots of teamwork for our year four children on their residential this week!

What a great well-being afternoon the children have had! The teachers and support staff have led some wonderful workshops including nature mandalas, dog interaction, craft, fashionista design, musical theatre, forest experience, bubble workshop, dance, construction, games, inflataball, craft and much more! A huge thank you to Mrs Watson for organising this event.

Year 5 have been inspired by Andrew Scott's frame experiments art work and have brought their own creations to life. https://www.facebook.com/share/1G9RK6BRdf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Early Years children had a fantastic time turning their snack-time tomatoes into delicious homemade tomato soup. They practised their claw and bridge cutting skills to safely slice carrots, onions, and tomatoes, and loved watching the ingredients blend together after cooking. So many children enjoyed an afternoon snack of warm soup and bread a wonderful mix of learning, teamwork, and tasty rewards.

A group of our year 5 & 6 children represented the school at the annual Winchester schools Swimming Gala yesterday. They gave 100% and really worked together, discussing race order and supporting each other. Although the boys didn't manage to get through to the finals, they came 5th overall in the invitational race, out of 16 schools. The girls team went through to both the freestyle finals and the mixed stroke finals. In both finals races, they achieved 5th place, out of 24 schools. What a fantastic achievement! Well done to Rosie, Ruby, Ruthie, Alice, Milo, Kit, Ben and Amos. We're very proud of you all!

#LoveLearning #Hampshire Year 3 have been very busy in their learning and wanted to share some of the 'fruits of their labour!' PSCHE & Design Tech (food)

Our assembly today has been all about staying safe in the water. We encouraged the children to think about four key rules when enjoying time in the water, as advised by the RNLI: stop & think, stay together, float and finally call for help (four images attached). The second image is aimed at adults rather than children and is for further information and guidance. #WaterSafety #RNLI

#Forestschools Year 4 had their Forest School session today. On the menu were nettle Tea , fried broad beans, popcorn and marshmallows- one child (not to be named) loved all of it and came for seconds!

#vegetables #healthysnacks We came back to school to find a nice crop of broad beans!!! They will be available on the playground at the end of the day. Help yourselves and share out the success of our gardeners hard work.
