Today was the last day of our residential. We began the day by packing our cases and tidying our rooms. The children’s skills of folding sheets and neatly packing their clothes were put to the test – not all of them passed with flying colours! We hope you found everything you were expecting to see […]
Today was all about our visit to Blakeney to look at the wildlife and the surrounding habitat, including the sand dunes. All together we completed nearly 5 miles of walking. This included taking off our shoes and socks and rolling up our trousers above our knees so that we could wade through the river and […]
Today we continued our study of coastal erosion by visiting Happisburgh where the children could see first-hand how the cliffs had disappeared. We contrasted this with Sea Palling, where millions had been spent on sea defences to protect the Norfolk Broads. Following lunch, we took the coach to Cromer, where we visited the museum to […]
After eating our cooked breakfast, we set out to West Runton beach to see coastal erosion first hand. We started by looking through the rock pools before looking on the beach for fossils. We have been really lucky with the weather today, with sunshine and clouds all day (the 1 downpour came whilst we were […]

They wrote these on coloured strips of material which they then hung from our ‘Friendship Tree’ (The Yew tree in our front garden). In assembly children discussed how the tree could symbolise friendship – protecting, providing for us. […]
Gavin from the Baptist Church visited us last week and led an assembly on the importance of friendship and having friends to support you. The photograph shows one of the children being carried in a duvet by their friends past obstacles.
Year R and Year 1 went on Safari last week and picked blackberries. Those that weren’t eaten on the journey home (!) were then used in a blackberry and apple crumble they made on Monday this week. Having personally sampled the end result, I can say it was delicious!
Class 4 have begun their topic of materials by looking at their properties and comparing different the materials for their flexibility, hardness, permeability, magnetism and transparency.
In our first week back at school, Class 1 harvested corn on the cob, tomatoes and a courgette from our vegetable garden. Mrs Mack cooked the corn on the cob for Friday’s dinners and the tomatoes were on the salad bar on Thursday and Friday.
