MB's Share Session

Today it was MB's turn to invite parents in for a 'Easter wreath making' craft session! It was so lovely to see all the different variations and imagine that went into making them. The session ended with the children eating a chocolate nest that they made earlier on. Thank you to all the parents that came, it was lovely to see so many of you.

Swimming Gala

 The year 6’s competed in a swimming gala on Thursday 28^th March at Framlingham College. Our teams came 3^rd and 5^th out of 13 teams. Out of the 24 races we competed in our teams won 11 races. The children showed great determination, team work, attitude, swimming ability and made the school very proud.

St Michael's Church welcome us for our Easter service

On this lovely, sunny morning Year 5 led our Easter service at the St Michael’s Church.  

Year 1 to Year 6 enjoyed listening to the story of Easter and singing several Easter songs.  

Well done and thank you to Year 5. 

Easter Lunch

Mrs Aldred made trays of wonderful Easter cupcakes for the Easter lunch dessert yesterday.

They disappeared very quickly!

Class KH share session

Class KH had a wonderful day baking cakes and making chocolate Easter nests where they followed recipes and used Fairtrade ingredients as part of our RE topic and Easter celebrations. Class KH really liked spending time with their families in their classroom doing creative activities. The children recited their Spring poem, decorated cakes and ate Easter nests, created Easter wreaths, made hatching chick puppets and Lego crosses. It was a really special afternoon and lots of fun!

Last Supper Art

Ahead of the Easter Holidays, Class MS and KV's Year 4s looked at  Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' painting. We discussed the significance of the Last Supper event and who was present with Jesus to dine together.

We then recreated 'The Last Supper' as a piece of three-dimensional art.

Full of the joys of Spring!!

Congratulations to everyone for their efforts in donating so much money for the “loose change” challenge where a staggering £874.45 was raised by the whole school.  Due to the exceptional amount that was raised, and as agreed with the ‘Friends’, the whole school enjoyed an extra-long break altogether on the field and enjoyed the warm spring air, playing with brothers and sisters, making daisy chains and enjoying the Spring sunshine. 

 

Class JT Easter Share Session

Class JT had a fantastic afternoon sharing Easter activities with their families.

First, the children recited the Spring poem they have learnt this term to which they received a well-earned round of applause.

After a morning of Easter baking, the children couldn't wait to share their bakes and decorate some biscuits.  We made sure to use Fairtrade ingredients wherever possible.

The children decorated palm leaf crosses with beads and a tag, and completed the session by sharing Easter story books with their families.

It was lovely to have so many visitors in the class sharing in the children's creativity, activities and most of all the cake!

Bug Hotel Building in Class HHMBr

Many congratulations to the Class HHMBr family as they made their plans of a mini beast hotel a reality.

There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the afternoon and incredible team work to build the structures.

We were blessed with good weather which meant we could use the Gilder Garden.  To end our time together our families really enjoyed our rendition of ‘Frozen’.

Thank you to everyone involved and the fabulous feedback we received.

House Singing Competition

We started the afternoon watching Class KV performing “Standing tall” which they have been working on with Megan Peel this term and we all enjoyed listening to this.   

After this we then held our exciting house singing competition which was kindly judged by Rev Chris Davey and Megan Peel; both said it was not an easy decision at all. Each house sang their own version of “Let it go” and then each of the four houses chose another Disney song.  Hitchams sang “Bippety, bippety boo”; Bulstrode performed “Bare Necessities”; Mills gave a great rendition of “You’ve got a friend in me” and the winning house Howard performed “Under the Sea”.  Howard performed their version of ‘Let it go’ in the acapella style too.

Well done to all the teachers and children for the effort in the rehearsals.  The hall was resounding with the singing and every child showed so much happiness and joy when performing.  

 

Bikeability

Thanks once again to the Suffolk RoadSafe team for their excellent Bikeability training session to our Year 5/6 pupils. 

The children have completed their two days intensive training. During the training they learnt how to look after their bicycles, spent time learning key cycling & indicating skills on the playground, spent a day and a half on the roads around the school in Framlingham.  By the end of the course, the children will have gained confidence on the roads and learnt the skills needed to become safe cyclists.  

There will be further Bikeability training in September for next year's Year 5 & 6.
