Class AL: Perimeter Surveyors

In Maths, Class AL used trundle wheels to measure perimeters inside and outside the school, taking turns to steer, count clicks and record the distances. The children really enjoyed working together and seeing how Maths appears in the real world! 

Wonderful World of Music!

We all enjoyed a fabulous concert yesterday courtesy of County Music  Service (CMS).

Nursery Application forms can be downloaded here for 2025/26 or pop into the office to collect a printed form.

Applications for April 2026 should be returned to the school office by Wednesday 21 January 2026, please, for us to allocate places in accordance with our Nursery Admissions Policy.

Wonderful Nativity Week

What a delight we have had all week, with every Foundation & Key Stage 1 class performing their individual Nativities, not just once but twice! Each afternoon we have had the dress rehearsals to the other children and then each morning the parents & grandparents have come along to watch.

Here is a snapshot of a few photos from each Nativity, but do take a look on our website gallery page to see some more: Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's CEVA Primary School - Photo Galleries

Refraction in Action

Today in Year 6, we explored the science of refraction and how white light can be separated into its different colours. Using prisms, pupils directed beams of white light and produced small rainbows—this showed us how light bends and splits as it passes through a new medium. We learned how this process, called refraction, happens because light changes speed when it moves from one material to another. We discussed how light bends towards the normal when it slows down, just like the way a straw looks bent or distorted in a glass of water.

To build on this, we recreated Newton’s colour wheels and tested whether spinning a coloured disc fast enough would make the colours blend back into white light. The class loved seeing science in action and discovering that white light really is a mixture of all the colours of the spectrum.

A brilliant afternoon!
