Thursday 4 June 2026 Macaws' CRICK Workshop The class had a fantastic time during a workshop led by a scientist from the Francis Crick Institute. She taught us all about how incredibly tiny bacteria are and amazed us with some fascinating facts. Then came the best part — she brought mini microscopes for us to explore with around the classroom! We investigated the carpet, the class plants, our jumper sleeves and even some children's hair to see what we could discover up close. There were lots of squeals, giggles and surprised faces as we uncovered a whole new microscopic world. Safe to say, the classroom had never looked so hairy, dusty and exciting before!

Throughout the day, we played lots of exciting maths games, solved number challenges and worked together on fun activities that made learning maths even more enjoyable. There was plenty of teamwork and counting going on all around the classroom. By the end of the day, we were all number experts - and a few of us were still arguing over which number is the best!

Wednesday 18 March 2026 Year 2 Pond Dipping trip Year 2 had a wonderful adventure pond dipping this week! We collected water from the pond and used sieves to discover lots of tiny creatures hiding beneath the surface - there were so many to spot! We also explored the woods, where we found frogs, spiders and all kinds of insects along the way. The sunny weather made our walk across the heath even more special, and everyone loved being explorers for the day. By the end of the trip, we were all smiling and convinced that at least one frog wanted to come back to school with us!

Thursday 25 June 2026 Careers Day in KS1 Our Careers Day was a fantastic success and gave the children an exciting insight into a wide range of professions. We started the day with a colourful parade around the hall, where everyone proudly showcased the careers they had chosen to dress up as. Throughout the day, we were visited by a variety of professionals, including members of the Army, the Police, and the Fire Service. We also welcomed a visitor who spoke to the children about careers in the railway industry. The children loved hearing about the different roles and asking lots of thoughtful questions. One of the highlights of the day was exploring the fire engine, where the children had the opportunity to sit inside the truck and even use the water hose!
