Year 2’s Sports Day was brilliant! All the children tried their best and showed excellent sportsmanship. A big thank you to all the parents who came and showed their support and to those who took part in the parents races. It was great to see everyone getting involved.

Year 2 had a wonderful morning at Apley Woods. We looked at the human and physical geographical features of the woods as part of our Near and Far Geography topic. We also looked at the historic castle and mansion sites where the Charlton family used to live and discussed how these sites have changed over time.

Thank you to all the parent helpers and staff who supported us with this trip, it is very much appreciated.

Base 4 had a great day learning all about how to stay safe when crossing the road. They did lots of theory in the classroom and then went out and demonstrated what they had learnt by crossing the roads near our school. They did a brilliant job! Well done, Base 4!

Base 4 had a lovely morning at Forest School as part of their Plants topic in Science. They identified different tree species, took bark rubbings and collected different leaves to do leaf rubbings when they got back to class.

To celebrate Earth Day, Year 2 read Rocket Says Clean Up! by Nathan Bryon and then became Apley Wood’s “Clean Up Crew”. We went litter picking around our school grounds and this is what we found:

Base 4 did a brilliant job of cleaning up our playground and have agreed that we could all do a bit more to look after our planet. Well done, Base 4!
