Year 1 have been enjoying outdoor maths and story time. The boys had great fun investigating numbers down at Natures Classroom before settling down for story time around the campfire. A wonderful way to combine learning, nature and imagination.

Nursery have been busy learning about British bird species as part of the RSPB School Birdwatch Week.
The children created their own recycled binoculars using toilet roll tubes and made DIY bird feeders with pipe cleaners and Cheerios to help attract local birds. They also ventured into the forest in search of different species. Although sightings were limited, the children enjoyed listening to birdsong and trying to identify what they could hear.
Along the way, they discovered large badger setts and discussed the animals that will soon begin to emerge from hibernation.

A whole-school Eco Council meeting took place this week, with delegates from every class!
The children discussed exciting future activities, including the Plastic Count and Litter Picking, and shared ideas to help make our school even greener. We can’t wait for the next meeting after half term.

Year 3 have been exploring the properties of different types of rocks, discovering what makes each one unique!
Rugby Action!
Year 8 and Year 6 played Orley Farm last week in a mix of contact and touch matches. The U11A team battled hard for a tough win, while the U13s scored some great tries in a spirited defeat. Year 3 also enjoyed their first competitive matches. All the boys were thrilled to get into action!
