Children have had a busy first day, with different groups trying out archery, kayaking, raft-building and a team-building activity. Perhaps the most challenging task was making the beds! We will aim to post new photos here at the end of each day.

To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in the woods, the children enjoyed making their own natural crowns. The children began by cutting their crown and then using plants, herbs and leaves stuck them onto double-sided tape. They were really proud of the final results, and we had our own

There was great excitement for children in Year 6 this morning as we held the first read-through of the summer production script. 'What a Knight' brings to life the well-loved legend of King Arthur and his knights as they set off on a quest, which doesn't quite go to plan... Younger c

Children spent the morning in Blenheim to celebrate the end of SATs week. It was a great chance to relax and play together after working so hard. Well done Year 6! We are very proud of you all.

Y6 children arrived bright and early for a run and a healthy breakfast this morning. This will be a great way to get ready for the tests each day. We were very proud of how sensible and positive the children were today and wish them well for the rest of the week. A big thank you to SJ Davi
