The Pre-School Laurel children have been diving into the World Cup spirit this week with some fantastic, hands-on learning and play! From scoring spectacular goals in our small-world football match and designing their very own custom football kits, to building up their fine motor skills with England flag pasta threading and tissue paper flag crafts, our mini-squad has shown incredible creativity and team spirit. We are so proud of how hard they worked on their concentration and hand strength while celebrating Team England!🏴

Pre-School Laurel have recently celebrated ‘Save the Bees Week’ with hands‑on activities that helped the children learn why bees matter. They mixed their own sugar‑water solutions to support tired bees and practised fine motor skills by using tweezers to create their own bee hives using kernels and rigatoni pasta! Most importantly, they discovered how essential bees are for plants, food, and our environment.🐝🍯

Year 5 and the IL class spent a lovely morning together last week! ☀️🎶
We listened to cheerful summer music, decorated biscuits with bright colours and sprinkles, and wrote down our very own summer bucket lists. ✍️🍪
It’s been wonderful to see everyone working alongside each other — a great way to build friendships, share ideas, and help integrate our IL learners with their soon to be Year 6 peers. Such a happy, creative session!

The Year 6 Leavers’ Concert was a wonderful showcase of amazing talent. It was inspiring to see just how much our pupils have grown in maturity, confidence and musical expression. A truly special afternoon of performances!

In Year 5, we have been looking at famous British inventors. We found out that Joseph Swan invented a type of light bulb in Britain in 1778. We constructed electrical circuits looking at how the length and number of components in the circuit effected the strength of the light bulb. After that for fun we attached paper to the motors and created spinning images and colour wheels.

The children have been busy developing a range of athletic skills, including perfecting their standing long jump, working hard on smooth baton changes in relay races, and showing excellent height and direction in javelin. They also impressed us with their fantastic jumping technique over the hurdles!
It has been wonderful to see such enthusiasm, determination, and teamwork throughout the morning. Well done, everyone! 🌟

On Friday in IL, we headed out to the garden to see how our plants are doing! 🌱
We checked in on our luffa vines and rainbow corn — they’re growing so well and looking strong already 🌽🥒
And of course, we couldn’t resist picking a bunch of beautiful, bright flowers to bring a little colour back to the classroom 💐

Pre-Prep and Pre-School had a fantastic afternoon during our Sports Day this week, with a back drop of blue sky and sunshine. The children competed in speedy sprint races, exciting novelty races, a Year 2 relay and sibling races. They very much enjoyed watching their parents and grandparents taking part in a water relay. Thank you so much to all those who came to enjoy the afternoon with us.

Year 2 have been working incredibly hard on telling and writing the time to the nearest 5 minutes! They have been using analogue clocks, counting in 5s, and practising their time-telling skills through fun activities and challenges.
