In 2H today we used our Geography mapping skills to design a birds eye view map of ‘The Elves Village’.

When Santa met 2H and 2K! What a great Christmas party we had!

Our Year 6 children have been thinking about form and function in their design and technology lessons to create their own steady hand games. The project combined creativity, problem solving and electrical know-how. The children worked hard to design, build, and wire their games. Check out the pictures to see their designs and electrical skills in action.

3HW have been very busy over the last few days making different Christmas Craft items ready to bring home and share with their families. We have also had fun each day finding out what our naughty Elf 'Eric' has been up to.

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils filled the hall with festive cheer during their carol concerts today. From classic carols to modern pop songs, they truly captured the spirit of the season. A huge thank you to our talented students and supportive families for making this event special. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! ⭐️🌲⭐️

Year 1 have been very busy innovating a poem about Christmas Eve. Each class have created different versions of the original poem and have chosen actions to accompany each verse (to the tune of 'The Wheels on the Bus'. We hope you enjoy the poem. If your child performs this for you, please send us a video!

Well done to our KS2 choir who performed at New Cross Hospital. You are doing an amazing job at spreading the festive cheer!

Year 5 have been busy elves this week: planning, designing, making and refining Christmas tree decorations. There have been some tricky skills to master, but resilience and determination have resulted in some fabulous designs!

The children enjoyed wearing their Christmas jumpers to participate in ‘Save the children’ Christmas Jumper Day.

What a phenomenal performance we had today. The children were absolutely awesome and sang so beautifully. Hope you were bursting with pride too.  Many thanks for coming.

Year 3 had great fun this week in our forest! Some were reenacting the adventures of Harriet Tubman, some were playing Stone Age, making shelters, hunting animals and setting up camps. Others were testing their climbing skills on the different equipment, making dens and having a relax in the hammocks! Some children were even using camouflage to hide from their friends! It was wonderful to get outside and enjoy our fantastic forest area!

Thank you so much to all who attended our Christmas songs and crafts. The children worked very hard to learn their songs and we have had a lot of fun singing them each day. We are definitely getting into the Christmas spirit :) The craft session went very well. All the adults and children got stuck in and some beautiful crafts (and treats to eat) were made. We are so proud of each and every child!

We have made torches in our Design and Technology lessons.

Year 4 have completed their Science Electricity module.
