New Build Week 6

The walls are on the way up and ,just today, the windows were removed from Class 5 ready for the bricks.  Very exciting!

New Build- Week 4

This week, we have seen the floor wired and concreted ready for the next stage in the build.  All looking very exciting!

New school lunches- Week 3

The last week of the new school menu.  Next week, we begin the cycle again, back to week 1.  Well done Lucy for making lunches so beautiful and being so lovely.
Remember, school lunches are provided for all KS1 children and are available for KS2 children for £2.30 per day, payable in advance to the school office.

New Build- Week 3

Another week and we are now the proud owners of some concrete foundations and the beginning of some walls!  Things are certainly moving on well as you can see from the pictures below.

'A Poem for Suffolk' Workshop with Dean Parkin.

On Wednesday, Years 4, 5 and 6 were fortunate to receive a visit from Poet Dean Parkin. His current project is 'A poem for Suffolk', and as part of this, Dean visits Suffolk schools and works with children to ask for their help to write the ultimate poem for Suffolk, which encompasses all of the things we love about our local area.

The children had a fabulous day and thoroughly enjoyed the creative opportunity.
The day ended with the children reading their poems to the rest of KS2 and then a poetry reading from Dean.  Needless to say, the children developed a new-found love of bubblewrap!

Thank you Dean for a fabulous experience.

New Build Maths with Class 5

Our new build site manager, Barry, kindly provided Class 5 with plans for the foundation works to the new build.  We decided to calculate the volume of the newly dug trenches in order to calculate an estimated cost of concrete to build the foundations, the number of lorry loads of concrete which would be required to fill the trenches and an estimation of the time it would take to complete the job.  Real-life maths in action!

New Build- Week 2

The build is moving on at an astonishing rate so their is something new to see almost everyday.
This, we have been watching the foundations being dug out and then on Thursday, the arrival and unloading of cement lorries to complete the foundations.  Almost all children in the school gathered around to watch the excitement unfold.
