Oh my word! On Friday 1 May we held our first Oliver James Lomax Performance Poetry showcase. 21 children from across the school took part in the Gold Level challenge where they performed a poem of their choice (some even wrote their own). The Gold Level Challenge meant performing in front of the school and their parents, demonstrating pace, projection and performance. Poet Oliver James Lomax, who visited us back in March, kindly said we could award the winning performer with a certificate from him - thank you so much. So, BELLA was the overall winner for her performance of 'As I was going to St Ives'.

The children who chose Bronze Level Challenge performed a poem to an adult in school of their choice and the children who chose the Silver Level Challenge performed their poem in front of their class and parents. It has been such a brilliant week and an event that we will do year after year across the Federation.

What a fabulous turnout for our Easter bonnet parade in the glorious sunshine this morning! The children all looked amazing with their chicks, eggs, flowers and other wonderful decorations on their bonnets.

The new continuous provision for year 1 is great fun! The children are enjoying learning through their play and exploration.

What a wonderful harvest festival we celebrated this morning! This was followed by some of the children delivering harvest goodies around Flackwell Heath to some very delighted local residents.

As always, thank you to all the parents who helped walk the children, who attended the service and helped deliver the fantastic boxes of kindness in our community.

Year 2 spent the day at Brooklands museum as part of their transport topic. They learnt about sound proofing and got to make some rockets fly. They also had an extra special treat to sit in Concorde!Read More
