💜🍰 YEAR 5 – THE RECIPE FOR A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP 🍰💜

In PSHE, Year 5 have been continuing their ‘Me and My Relationships’ topic, exploring how we communicate, socialise and interact with the different people in our lives.

This focused on what makes a healthy ...relationship, how we can nurture and look after our relationships, and how we can recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships. 💭💜

The children were incredibly insightful and thoughtful, sharing some fantastic ideas and showing a real understanding of the importance of kindness, respect, trust, communication and supporting one another. ⭐

To finish the lesson, the children created their very own ‘Relationship Cakes’. 🍰 Each layer represented an important ingredient for building a happy and healthy relationship, with some wonderful ideas from the children.

A brilliant lesson filled with mature discussion, thoughtful contributions and some very creative cakes. 💜⭐

Year 6 STEP 1 Breakfast – A Fantastic Start! 🌟

Year 6 celebrated their hard work and achievements at their first STEP Breakfast, enjoying delicious bacon sandwiches, cheese toasties and toast as they received their STEP 1 results.

After just three weeks in Year 6, every ...single pupil has already made impressive progress, giving us plenty of reasons to celebrate!

The children were delighted with both their breakfast and their achievements. Ruby thoroughly "enjoyed the food!", while Heidi shared that she was "proud of her reading results because she had made a lot of improvement since Year 5."

Inara was equally pleased, explaining that she was "pleased with her SPaG results because that is a subject she does not feel confident in," while Logan proudly declared, "I am proud of my maths score because it was a brilliant score!"

We have been absolutely blown away by the children's fantastic results, but what makes us even prouder is the determination, resilience and positive attitude they have shown towards their learning.

This is just the beginning of their Year 6 journey, and we cannot wait to see what they achieve next. Keep working hard, believing in yourselves and aspiring to be your very best.

💜 Proud to be a Badger!

🎶 Little Performers in Reception! 🎶

This week, our Reception children have been learning the words and actions to the traditional nursery rhyme Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake.

Mrs Lyth was so impressed by how enthusiastically everyone joined in, singing along and performing the ...actions with growing confidence.

Well done, Reception. We certainly have some budding performers in the making! 💜

🏑 Year 6 Street Hockey 🏑

Our Year 6 pupils had a fantastic time developing their skills during a street hockey session this week.

The children demonstrated excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and a willingness to challenge themselves as they practised a range of key hockey ...skills, including passing and receiving, trapping the ball, dribbling, using both sides of the stick and shooting with accuracy.

Throughout the session, pupils worked hard to improve their technique, build their confidence and put their new skills into practice.

🏑 We rounded off the session with a competitive game, giving everyone the opportunity to showcase their progress, work together as a team and apply everything they had learned.

A brilliant session filled with energy, determination and teamwork. Well done, Year 6, for your fantastic attitude and effort! 💜

🏡💜 All About Our Families – A Wonderful Week in Nursery! 💜🏡

What a lovely week we've had in Nursery exploring our topic, Our Families! The children have enjoyed learning about the special people in their lives and sharing what makes their families unique.

A big ...thank you to all the families who sent in photographs. The children were so proud to share these with their friends, confidently talking about their loved ones and listening with interest as others shared their own family stories. ❤️

Throughout the week, our learning continued across all areas of provision:

✏️ At the writing table, the children put their mark-making and fine motor skills to work as they created wonderful portraits of their families.

🪨 In the tuff tray, we explored early mathematical concepts, including counting, sorting and comparing sizes, as the children created their very own pebble families.

🏠 In the home corner and mud kitchen, imaginations ran wild as the children took on different family roles, developing their communication, language and social skills through pretend play.

🍂 Outdoors, the children embraced the changing season, collecting conkers, pine cones and acorns to create delicious imaginary meals for their families. What a lovely way to combine autumn exploration with imaginative play!

📦 In the junk modelling area, cardboard boxes became houses as the children used their creativity, spatial awareness and problem-solving skills to design and build their own homes.

💜 It's been a wonderful week of creativity, conversation and learning through play. Thank you once again to our families for sharing your photographs and helping us bring this topic to life. We've loved seeing the children celebrate the people who mean so much to them!
