This week the FS children enjoyed exploring a new and exciting part of the woods! They had snack on a hill, looked for mini-beasts in a different habitat, explored their new surroundings noting lots of similarities and differences and they even snuck in a game of hide and seek! The weather was not going to stop them – they had a fabulous afternoon!
The FS children had an exciting adventure rambling to Forest School – walking through grass “as tall as the trees!” They enjoyed exploring the woodland and meadow areas looking for ladybirds. They spoke about what they noticed and found out lots of interesting facts about them. They managed to find a couple but they thought others “might be hiding from the birds.”
Year 3 Have been learning all about Food Chains. They were very lucky this week, to have some of our parents in the classroom for Open Afternoon, as they were able to join in with our learning. Their homework this week, is to find some food chains in their garden or at a nearby park…I wonder what they will find?
Year 3 were sporting superstars on our KS2 Sports Day. Future Olympians in the making!
Three children from Year 1 led EYFS and KS1 in a Celebration of the Word this afternoon. They helped everybody think about our wonderful world, to feel God’s presence and to both say sorry for mistakes we have made and give thanks for our world.
We have a wonderful celebratory day in Foundation Stage. Thank you to all the parents that brought in food – we had a feast and it was great to see children trying food they would not normally have at home. Food came from Poland, India, Philippines, Italy, England, Australia and the Caribbean.
The children also learned a Call and Response song from Ghana, Morris Dancing from England and listened to music from all other the world.
Year 4 have had a super-sporty week here at Blessed Robert and beyond! We began the week with a trip to The Becket school to take part in Year 10’s Sports Carousel event, which we loved! The children were able to experience a wide variety of new and familiar sporting activities led by the students there.
Fast forward to Wednesday, and we had an afternoon of sun and speed here at Blessed Robert’s KS2 Sports Day. The children were so supportive of each other and did themselves proud!
Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed the KS2 Sports Day this year. They showed resilience, determination and grit; never giving up and supporting their team! Well done to the house of Matthew for winning this year’s Sports Day.

Year 1 and 2 had a fabulous time celebrating Key Stage 1 Sports day. The rain held off (only just) and the sun made an appearance as the children worked together to win points for their House Teams.
The children took part in a standing jump, hurdles, javelin, ball dribbling and throwing activities. The they took to the track to show off their sprints.
Thank you to all of the parents who came and cheered us on. It really was a fabulous morning.
The children took responsibility for our world today, by picking up rubbish left in Glapton Woods. They couldn’t believe that anyone would throw rubbish on the floor where it might hurt our woodland animals and birds. They used litter pickers (to keep themselves safe) and worked in teams to make our world a better place.
