Our students recently demonstrated community appreciation by extending heartfelt gratitude to our local police officers. As part of our collaborative initiative with the Rotary Club, students created personalized Christmas cards and prepared thoughtful treats to recognize the dedicated professionals who keep our community safe.

The police department visited our school, allowing students to directly express their thanks and learn about the important work of emergency service personnel. This meaningful interaction highlights our commitment to teaching students the value of community recognition and respect for those who serve us daily.

We are excited about our ongoing partnership with the Rotary Club and look forward to sharing more community-focused projects in the coming year.

Our school recently received a wonderful opportunity from the Woodland Trust, resulting in a generous donation of shrubs to enhance our outdoor learning environment. Yesterday, our Year 3 students and Green team collaborated with the local Rotary Club to plant these new additions to our school grounds. This meaningful partnership not only beautifies our school grounds but also provides students with a hands-on learning experience about environmental stewardship and community involvement. 🌿

Congratulations to our 15 Days of Christmas Winner, who has also attended school everyday 🙌🙌

Our Autumn Achievement Assembly celebrated the remarkable Achievement, Behaviour and Kindness of our students.

Mr Clarke recognised outstanding accomplishments, including the Class Reading Award winners and the House Team Award, which was presented to Maid Marion for accumulating the most points this term.

The assembly highlighted students who consistently demonstrated our school’s core values of Being Ready, Respectful, and Safe.

It was an opportunity to acknowledge the collective efforts of our students in creating a supportive and positive learning environment. 🏆📚

Congratulations to our Best in School Design and Special Merit winners.

Pupils in school explored innovative environmentally friendly transportation concepts for Santa’s journey. Our winners’ artistic interpretations showcased thoughtful environmental awareness and imaginative design skills. The competition highlighted pupils’ ability to combine artistic expression with ecological thinking, producing unique and engaging Christmas card designs that reimagine traditional holiday imagery.

Well done.. we are very proud of your achievements!

Our school football team demonstrated exceptional performance in yesterday’s competition, securing victories in both matches. The pupils’ dedication, teamwork, and skill were evident throughout the tournament. Their commitment to athletic excellence continues to reflect positively on our school’s athletic program. 🏆⚽

A special recognition goes to our talented player who achieved a significant milestone by scoring her first goal. Her dedication, perseverance, and athletic performance reflect the positive spirit of our school’s sports program. 🏆⚽

EYFS had an amazing time at Forest school. We made potions, practiced our balancing, climbed trees, and finished off by toasting marshmallows round the campfire.

As Year 6 complete their electricity learning, children investigated voltage. Working in small groups, children had to create a range of electrical circuits with different components such as bulbs. In their groups, children had to predict what would happen in each circuit as the voltage. The class then wrote up their results and conclusions.

Thank you to all the parents who came to join us in Class 2 and across key stage 1 for our ‘Stay and Read’. It was wonderful to see all the children enjoying and celebrating reading!

We have been doing some great continuous provision here in Class 1, we have been learning so much. Well done everyone!

Today the police visited Early Years! We learnt about the job that they did, how they help people, what vehicles they use and looked at the inform. We even had a chance to go into the police van which was great fun. Some of us even pressed the 999 button!

Year 2 have been busy doing some fabulous learning this term!

Computing: In computing, we’ve been learning about IT in the world around us.

Art: We are using shape and colour to create work inspired by Clarice Cliff.

Maths: We’ve been working systematically to investigate 3 number calculations in maths.

Geography: We are training to become weather reporters in Geography.

Reception are learning all about ingredients. We made some Christmas biscuits using different ingredients. We talked about weighing them before we mixed.  They tasted delicious!

Pupils are enjoying such creative play and outdoor activities. They are developing their balance skills whilst walking on barrels! Preparing for Using tyres to create an obstacle course and developing their den space. Spring planting daffodil bulbs and demonstrated teamwork in building a walking trail. It’s lovely to see the children from all year groups working together.

Wearing wellies allowed them to access the play area more effectively, broadening opportunities for outdoor learning. These activities provided valuable hands-on experience while enhancing the school grounds for future use.

What a wonderful time enjoyed by all!

This week Year 6 participated in their Cross Teach Christmas Experience. Children visited three different tasks to learn about the Christian Christmas Story. Once children had visited each zone, they were able to support Joseph in making a decision about supporting his family.

In RE Trekkers, we have learnt about Adam and Eve and their beautiful garden with apple trees. We discovered that they ate an apple when they shouldn’t have, and discussed why we mustn’t eat food without asking — to keep us safe.

We looked at a picture of a tree with apples and baubles, and realised we couldn’t have a real apple tree indoors. That’s why we decorate trees with baubles! Together we built our own tree — putting the base on like a trunk, fluffing the branches, and decorating with baubles, lights, and other decorations.

We had a wonderful visitor come into Class 1 today. The MHST came in today and spoke to the children about what makes them happy and what might make them anxious. She then gave the children lots of different ways to help the child deal with their emotions.

Southwold Football team demonstrated excellent skill, perseverance, and cooperation throughout the competition. The pupils achieved good results and maintained a positive attitude throughout. We are so pleased with their performance and teamwork during this event. Well done players!

Congratulations to our TTRS Times Table winners from Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. These pupils have demonstrated excellent progress in their mathematical skills through dedicated practice and commitment. Their achievements reflect the hard work they have put into mastering their multiplication tables.

Well done to all participants for their continued effort in developing these fundamental math skills.
