Monday 18 May 2026 Mini Professors: A Day of Chemical Reactions, Surprises and Playground Rockets! What an exciting and fascinating session we had with Professor Lee as the children became real-life scientists, exploring the magical world of chemical reactions!The children discovered that a chemical reaction happens when two or more substances mix together and change into something completely new. But rather than stopping at science definitions, we explored chemical reactions through examples the children could easily relate to in everyday life.We began by talking about something many of the children had seen before — an apple turning brown after a bite is taken. The children were fascinated to learn that this happens because enzymes inside the apple react with oxygen in the air, changing the colour of the fruit.Next, we explored the science behind baking cakes. What starts as a mixture of ingredients transforms completely once heat is added in the oven. We discussed how many chemical reactions need heat to make changes happen, causing things to rise, harden, change textur

Friday 15 May 2026 A Record-Breaking Bounce Bonanza! It had been a little while since our last Bounce Bonanza (mainly because of the very long process of pumping up all the balls and preparing the equipment!), but it was absolutely worth the wait. We were thrilled to welcome a record number of children to Fitness Friday, all eager to take on the challenge of dribbling their chosen ball as many times as possible around our marked playground course.Children of all ages enthusiastically joined in, developing their hand-eye coordination, ball skills, and spatial awareness, while also enjoying plenty of movement and exercise before the start of the school day. The playground was full of determination, concentration, and lots of bouncing fun!A huge thank you to our Bronze Ambassadors for kindly helping to pack away all the equipment afterwards, and to Mr. Frampton for capturing some brilliant photos of the children's wonderfully focused concentration faces during the event.

Friday 15 May 2026 Ready or Not… Here They Come! After reaching an incredible 2,000 dojos - and more than 6,000 altogether since the start of the academic year - Year 5 finally enjoyed their well-earned class dojo reward. Their chosen activity? A giant game of hide-and-seek!Once the boundaries had been carefully established to make sure nobody ended up on the roof, down the shops or in the school pond, the children made full use of our wonderfully spacious school grounds. Even the sunshine arrived just in time to join in the fun.The competition quickly became far more intense than anyone expected, with some truly impressive hiding places and determined seekers. After counting up the scores, Team Dragon were crowned the hide-and-seek champions thanks to Elsie's excellent seeking skills and the team's unbelievable hiding tactics.Who would have thought such a simple playground game could create so much excitement and laughter?

Mrs Murray and I were incredibly impressed by the way both classes supported one another, competed with enthusiasm and demonstrated real resilience and determination throughout the afternoon.Next week, we will meet again to try out more events before pupils sign up for the competitions they would like to take part in before half term. With tug-of-war, space hoppers and target throw still to prepare for, excitement is certainly building for our KS2 athletes.
