KS1 Enjoys a Football-Themed Lunch!

17th June 2026Samantha Taylor

Today, our KS1 children enjoyed a fantastic football-themed lunch as we celebrated England’s first game taking place tonight!

The dining hall was filled with excitement as pupils tucked into a special menu inspired by the beautiful game. Football anthems played throughout lunchtime, creating a fun and lively atmosphere, and many of the children couldn’t resist getting up for a dance with their friends. There was lots of singing, smiling and excitement as everyone got into the football spirit.

It was wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the occasion together. We hope everyone enjoys watching the match tonight and joins us in cheering on England.

Come on England!

Learning about the pentatonic scale in music

10th March 2026A Welburn

Over the past few weeks in music, we have been learning the song, ‘I’ve been to Harlem”, thinking about the shape of the tune and using our voices to show this. We’ve spent time learning the lyrics and the tune, and today, we have moved on to creating an accompaniment using the pentatonic scale on the glockenspiel. We used the 5 notes – F, G, A, D and C – to create note clusters and we began practising playing along to the song.

Phonics play

21st September 2025Elizabeth Frost

During the lead up to phonics the children will be mastering the foundational skills needed to learn their sounds. During this lesson the children are learning all about the sounds around them, tapping out the rhythmic patterns they can hear in nursery songs, and practicing how to Fred some simple cvc words with a touch of musical fun. They were also amazing at matching the sound level from quite to loud well done crew Frost!

This week crew Frost have been introduced to the early writing programme Squiggle While You Wiggle, this programme offers the first steps to build their fine and gross motor movements.

We can not wait to see what fine motor skills will develop over the next few weeks.

Guitar Showcase

Wow! Wow! Wow! What an AMAZING guitar showcase with Year 5 and 6 this morning. It was a privilege to be able to watch the children show off everything they have learned in their guitar sessions with Mr Smith this year. Thank you to all the parents that attended and joined in with some of the tricky moves!

Bob Marley is 80!

On Friday, we celebrated the birthday of Bob Marley by singing a melody of his songs. What a wonderful way to start the day. It was lovely to see the children singing along and some of them starting to move with the music.
