Our Carols Around the Tree service was a joyful and memorable celebration, blending traditional favourites with modern songs that filled the school with festive cheer. The children performed with such confidence and joy. A real highlight was Year 6’s wonderful performance of The Twelve Days of Christmas, complete with energetic actions that delighted everyone watching. We were also treated to Mr Wheat’s superb piano playing, which added a special touch to the singing and atmosphere. Laughter and smiles spread through the audience during the much-loved staff video, whose humour brought great joy to families and children alike. It was a heart-warming event that truly captured the spirit of togetherness and celebration at this special time of year.
Our KS2 Advent Celebration was a wonderful way to begin the season of Advent, and the children should be incredibly proud of their performance. They spoke and sang with great confidence and enthusiasm, clearly demonstrating how much effort they had put into their preparation. Through readings, prayers and songs, the children helped us to understand the true meaning of Advent, reminding us of the importance of waiting patiently, holding on to hope, and living with joyful expectation. Their thoughtful delivery and positive attitude created a warm and reflective atmosphere, making the celebration a meaningful and memorable start to this special season.
Last week, Year 5 welcomed visitors who hosted an Ancient Egypt–themed day for us. We had great fun investigating artefacts, exploring the scents of Ancient Egypt, and even taking part in our own mummy burial ceremony. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were praised for their enthusiasm and curiosity.

This term we have been lucky to have Basketball coaching with Jimmy! He has taught the children the main skills needed for a game of Basketball which has led to a final tournament in our final lesson
Year 5 had a lovely walk to Clifton Village this week. We learnt all about out local history from Mr Bryan and were even lucky enough to walk around St Mary’s church. Year 5 really enjoyed learning about the Clifton family and their influence on the local area.
Year 5 showed great Scientific investigation skills in our observation of soluble materials. We mixed a variety of materials into water to see if it was soluble or insoluble. I was impressed at their use of scientific language and accurate measurements.
Method:
1. Measure 100ml of water into each of your beakers.
2. Add a spoonful of your material into the water and decide whether it’s soluble or insoluble.

Year 5 had a wonderful time with our visitors this week for a Maya Day. We made (and tasted) hot chocolate as the Maya would have made, investigated some artefacts, chose a Maya name and wrote it in Glyphs and rediscovered the ancient sport of Pok- a – Tok!
