Our Year 5s had a brilliant day following the Porter Brook river from its source! They spotted river features like meanders, waterfalls & tributaries as part of their geography fieldwork.

This half term, every class in KS2 have had special first aid lessons from A and D First Aid. They have covered all the key PSHE first aid learning for their year group and life saving CPR. Today, Y5s looked at bleeding and choking. @AandDfirstaid

As part of their RE lesson, Y5 were visited by Father Keith from St Mary's Church to discuss life as a Christian and how his faith helps in day to day life. The children enjoyed learning about how God's love has guided Father Keith's life.

Y6 took to the streets this morning as part of their good and bad parking project. They were looking for cars parked safely and politely reminding people the rules of the road. They enjoyed spreading a message of safety near roads @SY_STARSAwards @SYSaferRoads

Children from Nurture took part in a special alternative sports trip at the Canon Medical Arena. They took part in scooting, archery, wheelchair sports and speed stacking. They loved trying new sports and finding new ways to get active. @ForgeSSP

Children in Y6 had a visit from the HSBC Future Coders program. They taught Y6 digital skills, including coding. They talked about careers in coding and had a go at technical coding skills and developed their problem-solving abilities. @HSBC_UK
