• Farm Fair visit

  Thu 18 Apr 2024 Mrs Plowman

  Sycamore Class spent a fantastic day at the Suffolk Farm Fair at Trinity Park. We visited different  zones, including Livestock, STEM, Food, Conservation, Emergency Services and Well Being. We were able to taste local food, handle animals and learn about farming, plus a whole lot more! We were very proud to see our competition entry (a model of healthy soil) on display for all 4300 visitors to the show to see!

• DT day

  Wed 20 Mar 2024 Natalie Diwan

  During our DT day this half term the children in Chestnut class focused on bird boxes. The children investigated bird boxes and how different birds need different styles, they drew design plans for their own design, they did a lot of hammering to construct their bird boxes and wrote evaluations based on the design criteria. All of the adults were very proud of the resilience that the children showed when hammering the joints together.

• Tractors in School Visit

  Wed 28 Feb 2024 Emma Morris

  We had a visit from a local farmer with his tractor on Monday. The pupils all had lots of farming related questions for Tom. He brought along a variety of different crops. He said that the pupils '...were especially well behaved and engaging.'

  This inspired William in year 6 to produce his own art work at home, which Tom has now framed on his office wall!
