Reminder, this Friday is a PD day.

On Wednesday, Year 3 and 4 made summer rolls as part of our DT for this term. They selected their own fillings, and many tried something for the first time. Most agreed that they were delicious and they had lots of ideas about how to improve their recipes.

We have our Spring term Times Table Rock Stars Finalists: Normans beat our reigning League champions, Saxons comprehensivley 1,071 - 316 in Semi Final 1 and Vikings confidently beat Mayans 1,503 - 526 in Semi Final 2. A special mention to Jesse and Joshua who both answered over 16,000 correct questions for their respective classes, an amazing achievement well done! Normans vs Vikings starts today with the winner being crowned next Thursday. The winning class will be rewarded with an afternoon of Golden Time.

Here are some of our favourite Snap and Shares from Learning Pi over the past week. A great mix of children participating, showing determination and resilience and risk-taking.

Last week, Year 3 and 4 visited Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park. We were so lucky with the weather and managed to see all the animals, including the polar bears and lions and tiger. There was lots of fantastic discussion about how these animals have adapted to live in our climate. The children were so well-behaved and all enjoyed a wonderful trip.

We have a great selection of curious, creative, determined children participating this week, thank you for your Snap and Shares on Learning Pi.

Thank you so much for all of the amazing entries to our Simple Machines Physics competition. It was a very difficult decision as there were so many varied designs and amazing mechanisms. In the end, the Science Ambassadors and Mrs Woodruffe chose Frazer and Freya's as the winners for Key Stage One and Two and Freya's as the overall winner. Freya took her entry to the Grand Final at Southwold Primary School last week. Unfortunately, she didn't win the grand prize but it was great to see the children from the other trust schools and their entries.

Thank you everyone for your kind donations to our Number Day, that was back in February. The total amount raised for the NSPCC was £225.70.
