Computing Showcase

Last week, we held our first ever ‘Computing Showcase’ for Years 2, 3 and 4. Ran by a group of Year 5s, the children got to get hands on with a variety of computing equipment, including: VR headsets, Sphero Indi Robots, Intelino Smart Trains, Dashbots, Beebots, Rodocodo and Micro:bits. The aim was to expose the children to the amazing equipment we have in school and to encourage their love of computing! All of the children were extremely positive about the day and we will be sure to hold another one soon!

We’ve had a very busy week in Year 5 this week. We have designed, made and evaluated our stuffed toys. We used a range of skills, including a blanket and running stitch, to make our toy nice and secure!

Batik in Year 6 with the wonderful Mr Farlow

Some of our Year 6 friends have had the fantastic opportunity to learn the technique of Batik with Mr Farlow. It is a process where hot wax is applied to fabric to create a resist, followed by ink. This process is then repeated and ironed off. Look at the process and amazing results…

Lego League Club Starts

A group of 12 Year 5s have embarked on a Lego project over the next few terms. We will be creating and coding various ocean themed creations in the project called ‘Submerged’. So far, we have built a submarine, sea creatures and treasure chests and over the next few weeks will be coding them to flash lights, move a propeller and sense if something is too close! Watch this space!

Making Treasure Maps in The Hazels

We went over to The Hazels this week to create some treasure maps. We had to orientate our maps correctly and then drew on some landmarks to help people follow the maps to some coins that had been hidden. Lots of learning on show and lots of fun was had!

Comic Relief 2025 at SAF

We celebrated Comic Relief 2025 in school by having a ‘Hop-a-thon’ on the field! Each class had a session to see how many hops they could do.  We also were selling red noses and children wore their own clothes.  Overall we raised £462 for the amazing charity.
