Arla and Olleco

What a lovely day we have had! We have been so well looked after at both Arla and Olleco. The boys have learned so much about milk and renewable energy. We were all fascinated and particularly enjoyed the robots carrying the milk cartons! Here are a selection of photos from the day which I’m sure the boys will tell you all about (particularly the interesting smell at Olleco!). You will notice that most of the photos are of the backs of their heads, this is due to the fact that they were so interested in what was going on in front of them!

Mental Health Week

This week is Mental Health week. Throughout the School, we starting the week with a special breakfast. The breakfast was an opportunity to sit and chat in classrooms; a simple, reflective start to the week.

In addition to the breakfast, during assembly in the afternoon we had a mental health focus. We showed a short animated video to the boys, talked about our ‘A little help, please’ boxes and reminded boys about the importance of talking to a trusted adult if they feel unhappy or need a little help. If you would like to watch the video at home, please go to the following link,

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter and you enjoyed the sunny weather!

This week we have been measuring. Here are some ideas for things to try at home

  1. Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of different objects in cm
  2. Use some weighing scales to measure objects in g and kg
  3. Use a jug to measure how much water different containers hold in ml and l
