The JRSO’s attended the speed check with the Community Speed Awareness Team on Wednesday. The JRSO’s wrote down the registration numbers of the cars which went past. They kept an eye on the speed camera to see if the cars were speeding. The JRSOs really enjoyed it and caught two cars speeding!
On Friday 27th November the JRSOs held a Brightness Day. The children and staff came to school in their brightest clothes and raised money for ‘Children in Need’. There were winners from each class including Miss Kluge. There were also winners of the competitions that the JRSO’s arranged.
The JRSO’s trained the children in Woodpecker and Kingfisher Class on how to cross the road correctly. The children really enjoyed using the road and pretending to be cars and pedestrians.
The children in the Kingfisher Class performed their assembly on Friday. The work they showed was on the theme of ‘Ourselves’. They named body parts, they spoke about the visit from Sue Hunter the Dental Nurse, they showed collages of their favourite foods, said the letters sounds of the alphabet and sang the ABC song. […]
On Thursday the Owls made the short trip to Colchester to visit the Castle. The children have been learning about the Romans for the past two weeks in class and greatly enjoyed their visit. We had the opportunity to try on different Roman costumes, build a Roundhouse and creep around the gloomy dungeons. The trip finished […]

Miss Kluge showed the class CCTV footage of a Triceratops in the school car park and the children produced some fabulous stories based on what they had seen. The children weren’t afraid because they had […]
This week was the turn of Woodpecker Class to share some of their favourite work from the term in their Class Assembly. The children showed the rest of the school and parents the firework pictures they had made; sang the ‘Days Of The Week’ song that they had been learning, performed their class poem […]
Christmas Craft Club started on Monday 16th November. As you can see from the photos, the children had great fun making a whole range of Christmas-themed items, including beautiful cards and letters to Santa.
Today the children in the Kingfisher class and their family member took part in the transport challenge afternoon. They designed their vehicle and used lots of recycled materials to create it. When they had finished they had to evaluate their vehicle. The children really enjoyed the afternoon and I think the adults did too! The […]
This week was Anti Bullying week which meant it was a very important week for our Anti Bullying Buddies. On Monday the Buddies led the Whole School Assembly introducing our first ever ‘House’ competition! Each House had the afternoon to design a poster promoting ‘Good Friendships’. It was great to see all Key Stages working […]
