Year 2 walked around Eastleigh town centre to kick off Community Week. Look who we met!
Children's Voice Reps escorting Mr Mayor through Eastleigh to meet the Y2 children at the bandstand. They were there to discuss what they liked and disliked about Eastleigh town centre and what ideas they had about their local community.
Our new lunches with Clever Chefs!
We were so lucky to have actor, teacher and Governor Andy Kent join us to perform one of Puck's speeches from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Andy has performed Shakespeare's plays many times, including at the Globe Theatre in London and in Stratford-upon-Avon. The children really enjoyed his performance and asked many interesting questions. They also enjoyed singing 'Happy birthday' to Shakespeare, using the Shakespearean 'thee'!
Year R have enjoyed learning how to use a skipping rope for lots of different games!

The school enjoyed taking part in our Eat Them to Defeat Them week. We ate lots of vegetables! Here is us enjoying our carrots!
Some of our Y2 children made up a team to attend the North Eastleigh and Winchester Multi-Skills Festival at Kings' School, Winchester along with Mr Byrom - the children had a great time!
Science is all about exploring and understanding the real world. Science assembly led by Mrs Johnson wanting to prove that oxygen does exist even though you cannot see it. She carefully added washing up liquid to hydrogen peroxide (bleach), added yeast in warm water and we watched ALL the bubbles appear trapping the oxygen inside the washing up liquid. It was awesome!
One of our Y2 children made it into the Daily Echo with his wonderful 'Neil Armstrong' inspired costume. Well done!
Year 2 are practising telling the time on analogue clocks and writing expanded noun sentences about the attractions in the Bay of Plenty region. We absolutely love our learning!

World Book Day 2024
Throughout the summer holiday, KBM developments fitted the new children's kitchen, generously donated at cost price by Howdens. It will make such a difference to the cooking and food nutrition curriculum that our children, and their families, will be able to access.
We're waiting for the new furniture to arrive and then we will have a grand opening!
The Huff and Puff also had a make over in the summer holidays thanks to two generous donations from Alpha Laboratories. The bottom half has been replaced with a luxurious artificial grass and the children have loved taking their shoes and socks off and feeling the difference! The woodland squirrels have been most amusing as they are also getting used to the increased thickness of the surface as they scamper around, somewhat more slowly during the day.
