We’ve had a busy first week back. In English, we have been rapping! We’ve practiced ‘Grandma, can you rap?’ as well as writing our own. In Maths, we have been dividing and multiplying. This week our topic has focused on RE. We have been learning about Buddhism. On Wednesday, we had a great time at the Sea life centre. We saw penguins, crocodiles, clownfish and even touched some starfish!

Head of School update
This week at school…..
On Monday and Tuesday children experienced their “new” classes in person during transition days. The children all showed fantastic resilience and we were able to support any wobbles had on the day. During their time in their new classes they undertook lots of fun activities to get to know each other in some cases and to begin to get to know their teachers.
Attenborough Class had a lovely trip to Amazona Zoo today and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the animals. Take a look at the class update for all the brilliant things they have been learning this week!
Year 6 has had an eventful week. Last night they all did absolutely amazing by performing their Year 6 production in the Atrium to all their families. We were so proud of all their hard work and achievements. Today sees them have their final farewell with an assembly before heading off to the Isle of Wight in their final week. We wish them all the very best for a fantastic week away.
This week’s Tech Update is looking at Staying Safe online this Summer.
This is the last tech update for this academic year. This week we are spotlighting some of the best practices that we all know to remind us how to be safe online. During the holidays our routines change and inevitably become a little more “loose”. During these times it’s important to support children to make good choices and avoid binge gaming – even if they really want to! Take a look at the National Online Safety guide below and stay safe and have fun!
