• Year 5 and 6 perform in the Pied Piper

  Fri 04 Apr 2025

  Some of our Year 5/6 children took part in NMPAT and Rutland Music’s Big Sing concert this week at De Montfort Hall in Leicester.

   

  The children sung a range of inspiring songs including our favourite “Power in Me”. They then took part in performing songs in the musical Pied Piper.

   

  Our children were fabulous ambassadors of our school and it was incredible to see them perform on such a big stage!

• Year 3 maths challenge

  Fri 14 Mar 2025

  Yesterday, four Year 3 children went to a maths afternoon at Laxton Junior school.  

   

  They had to apply all their maths knowledge to answer lots of different questions and we came second!

   

  They also represented our school brilliantly and were polite and great at showing team work.

   

  A huge well done!

  The Year 5s enjoyed their second STEM event at Oundle School.

   

  This time the focus was on chemistry!

   

  The children investigated dissolving salts and sugars in different liquids.

• SW class to Flag Fen

  Wed 08 Jan 2025

  Year 3 and 4 kick started their new topic with a visit to Flag Fen this week where they learnt all about the Stone Age.

   

  The children sat inside a real roundhouse with a fire, they handled real artefacts and had a go at hunting a deer with spears. They made their own paint for rock painting, they made prehistoric pots with clay and they even used real wattle and daub to have a go at building their own wall complete with horse poo! I’m not sure how successful their houses would have been, I think we would have got very cold and very wet!

   

  It was a great day and a great way to start our learning this term.

  

• Gymnastics with your buddy!

  Thu 19 Dec 2024

  Our Year 5/6s have been working on our balance skills in PE and were very excited to get out all of the gym equipment in the hall, especially when we modelled how to use it with EYFS!

   

  We worked with our buddies to create different point balances and positions.

   

  Our Year 5/6s were so incredibly supportive and all have a fantastic gymnastics session!

  

• Year 1 and 2 to Peterborough Cathedral

  Thu 19 Dec 2024

  On Tuesday David Attenborough class finished their Geography and RE unit with a trip to Peterborough Cathedral.

   

  We had an amazing day!

   

  We started by visiting different characters from the Nativity story, including, the shepherds on a hill side, the very Wise King looking for stars and even Mary's kind neighbour who was helping to clean up all of the feathers after her visit from Angel Gabriel! These characters were spread all around the Cathedral, so we got a good chance to have an explore and look at the magnificent building.

   

  After our lunch we created a stained-glass window inspired by the Cathedral's huge windows and the Nativity story. Before heading back to the coach, we had a walk-through Peterborough city centre.

   

  We have been comparing cities, towns and villages in Geography and this was the perfect opportunity to have a look at a city.

   

  The children were brilliant and got a round of applause from the cathedral team for being so super!
