LEGO Mini-Golf for National Coding Week 2025

For National Coding Week 2025, all children in Year 4 and 5 had a coding workshop from Roartech. The children had to code and create a mini-golf activity for a funfair. They had to adapt their code to make the ‘club’ hit the ball harder and were very successful in doing so!

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!

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.

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!
