Stuffed Toys in Year 5 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!
Art Day Spring 2025 We have experimented with oil pastels and watercolours to create fantastic daffodils today.

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. For more information about where the money goes, please see here: What Your Money Does | Comic Relief
Spring is Here! Mr Andrew’s class went up to The Hazels today to celebrate the first day of Spring! We looked for sign of new growth during a nature walk, and then collected some sticks in. We explored the area and enjoyed the chance to explore the outdoors!
Year 3 went to Exotic zoo! Year 3 went to Telford’s Exotic Zoo Wildlife Park where we met and held the animals we have been learning about as part of our rainforest topic. We stroked and held an animal that lives on each layer of the rainforest including a hissing cockroach, clicking tenrec, a tree frog, a chameleon and not least an armadillo! It was a fantastic day and so impactful to bring our learning to life.
