As part of a local authority initiative ending on Children in Need day, a group of our Year 6 pupils have worked incredibly hard to produce a wonderful collaborative piece of writing based on a proverb from around the world. The children chose the proverb "A single bracelet does not jingle" and have crafted an excellent written piece around this, which also includes an array of higher-level sentence structures and punctuation. We are extremely proud of the children's efforts.

The Year 6’s have loved learning about the amazing digestive system and enjoyed (well, most of them!) looking at how food travels through the digestive tract. We hope you enjoy the photos!

We are excited to share that Wodensfield Primary School took part in the  Adoption@Heart Countdown Quilt Project !

This is a wonderful opportunity for the children who contributed to see their patch in real life! More detail

Year 5 have been working hard on their guitar skills this term. Rockstars in the making!

3HW had a super Science lesson investigating which surfaces created the most/least friction. We tested 6 different surfaces and recorded our results in a chart. We made predictions and also concluded what we had found out.

We really enjoyed our first ‘Read with parents’ session. It was a lovely opportunity for parents to share a book with their child and to join us in our classroom. If you could not make it this time then please join us in the future. This will be every Tuesday at 2:55pm :)

Reception F have enjoyed learning about Remembrance Day. We have learned why it is important to remember, how we remember and we also enjoyed making poppies. The children were very good at participating in the silence this morning and understood why we did it. Please take a look at our floor book pages to read some of the quotes from the children.

School Council would like to take the time to say a huge thank you to all of the children who brought in a donation for the shoebox appeal in support of Operation Christmas Child. The gifts that you provided will go a long way to help support a child who does not have much.

Year 3 have been studying Prehistory since September and are currently finding out about Bronze Age Britain and the Beaker People. They have enjoyed making their own beaker using clay.

To mark Remembrance Day, Year 6 pupils created stunning oil pastel pictures of poppies. They explored blending techniques to achieve rich, vibrant colours and smooth transitions, bringing their artwork to life.  We are so proud of their creativity and effort! Take a look at some of their beautiful pieces below:

4I have been creating electrical circuits to make bulbs light up in Science.

Year 6 used TinkerCAD to design a building that would improve the lives of people in their community. They thought about how the building would look, what smart or environmentally friendly features it might have, and how it would be used. We entered our designs in the TechStars Digital Design Competition, where the children were judged on their creativity and their use of digital design tools. Have a look at their designs. Well done to Luca, who won the competition with her P

A team of Year 6 children took part in the What on Earth! quiz today, run by What on Earth! magazine. Each heat included three rounds of multiple-choice questions for the team to work through. We were really proud of our team of four and will await the results!

Maya "chocolatl" refers to the ancient Maya’s spiced, bitter chocolate drink. It was consumed in ceremonies and was considered a sacred gift from the gods, used for energy, and even as currency. Unlike modern hot chocolate, the original beverage was unsweetened and often very spicy.  Today, Year 6 tasted some Maya hot chocolatl as they were learning about the history of chocolate. As you can see from the photos, some children enjoyed it, but most did not!

It was a pleasure to recognise the achievements of some of our writers in today's Wonderful Writers' assembly. Each child won a special gold pencil and a certificate for their efforts. Well done to all of our wonderful writers, including our winners.

We would like to say a huge Thank You for your donations to the P.T.F.A in payment for the children coming to school in their own clothes. We continue to be overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity. Wishing you a fun filled half term. Year 1 Staff x

It was wonderful to see the amazing creations at the end of our workshop yesterday. Thank you all for a most enjoyable afternoon.

Year 3 have had a super week this week enjoying the pop-up pool. The children have gained confidence and independence in the water. They cannot wait to have more lessons in Year 4.
