Canal School Trip

Date: 26th Sep 2024 @ 5:18pm

We had a lovely school trip last week.  The sun was shining and the children had a trip on a canal boat (we saw a heron).  Then we walked along the canal path and learnt that donleys pulled the canal bpats as the horses used to get stolen in Stroud!  We went to the visitor centre and learnt more about canals: why and how they were built, how locks work and lots more.

Grammar Fun

Date: 25th Sep 2024 @ 1:08pm

The children in Aventurine loved this lesson. We identifed proper nouns, collective nouns, common nouns, partitive and abstract nouns in a nonsense poem. Then we said the poem together with actions and different voices for the different types of nouns. Take a look at the video!!!

Fun and Fashion for our First Day Back!

Date: 3rd Sep 2024 @ 4:23pm

What a fantastic first day we've had together!

We spent the morning playing class mate bingo, starting our new class dance and making paper outfits for each other. These tasks have not only enabled us to get to know each other but they have also given us a glimpse into what a respectful, kind and fun group of children this year's class are going to be.

What a Show!

Date: 18th Jul 2024 @ 2:14pm

I am so proud of each and every Year 6: they worked so hard in such a short space of time to create a magnificent show.  We had a long and very busy day performing three times, each time they just got better and better.  Fantastic singing, dancing, great comical performances and brillaint props.  Well done chaps, I hope you have some wonderful memories.

Thanks to Chris for filming the production, here is llink if you would like to watch it again.

Last Day of Resi

Date: 23rd May 2024 @ 11:47am

After all that dancing the children slept really well last night.  This morning they packed up & had another big breakfast (who knew watermelon and bacon was a good combination!), be warned your child is now used to cereal, croissants, full english and fresh fruit, all in one sitting!

We have had lots of compliments from other guests about how well behaved the children are and what good manners they have. Proud.

This morning we went swimming again and on the water slides - brilliant fun.  Then we will have a picnic lunch & get on the coach.  See you back in Stroud - we will be the tired and bedraggled looking ones!   Enjoy unpacking their bags!

Day 3 of Resi

Date: 22nd May 2024 @ 11:11pm

Sorry for uploading photgraphs so late, we have been very busy!

Today was very wet in places, so we only had a few minutes on the pedal carts before we had to go inside.  So we played cricket, rounders, basketball, made candles, went on the climbing wall and then swam.  The children are shattered, but still very lively!

Then we ate even more lovely food, went in the games zone and some of us played pool.  Most of us (including some staff) went in the Fun Zone and climbed around soft play and went down slides (Mrs NG took the pics).  Then we went to the lounge and listened to a live singer and almost all the children danced.  A great day.  We are all in bed now. Enjoy the photos. 

positional language in maths

Today we were at Forest school. We were blindfolded by our partner. We had to trust them to guide us with directions not leading us. Quarter turn, half turn, left and right turn, then how many steps.
