On Friday 14th November, our oldest children met their local MP, Sarah Dyke, for an inspiring visit. She came to talk to the children about her role as a Member of Parliament, gave insightful answers to their thoughtful questions and shared ideas for making a real change in the local community.
As part of their Learning Experience 'Animal Antics', Pippin class went to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm for a fantastic day learning about a variety of animals at the zoo.
The day began with an informative classroom session with Tom, who spoke to the children about how animals are classified. Tom talked to the children about the 5 main animal classifications and gave examples for each. Afterwards, the children got to meet 'Charlotte' a cockroach and 'Lottie' a tortoise. All of the children had the chance to handle the animals too.

On Tuesday 18th November, 10 children from Years 5 and 6 went to a football tournament at Buckler's Mead Academy. In the first match, we won 6-0. In our second match, we won 2-0. Unfortunately, we lost the third match because the score was 1-0 to High Ham. In our penultimate match, we lost against East Coker in the semi-finals. In our last match, we were playing for 3rd place in the tournament but we lost 2-0. We were playing against St Barts and we ended up in 4th place. Everyone got a chance to play because we swapped subs between matches. Surprisingly, we were the only team with girls. Altogether, it was a fabulous afternoon and we can't wait for the next tournament.

As part of our Remembrance Day commemorations, the whole school gathered at 11 o’clock to observe two minutes of silence in honour of those who have served. KS2 pupils also had the privilege of hearing from author Jacqueline King, who shared fascinating insights into how she researched and planned her novel A Cake for the Gestapo.
Today, the children in KS2 enjoyed learning all about the works of Alce Harfield.
They considered some of the techniques that she uses, including stippling, dabbing, splattering, and colour washing. Alce visited with some of her favourite pieces and was able to explain more about her techniques and inspirations.
We are looking forward to seeing what our talented artists at Lovington will achieve over the coming weeks.
On Friday, Bramcote Dental Practice came to visit Pippin Class to teach us all about how to look after our teeth. The dentist showed us how to brush properly using special disclosing tablets that turned our teeth different colours to show where we had missed.
Pippin Class headed into the great outdoors for their autumnal wellie walk. We had great fun looking at all the beautiful leaves that are changing colour, and spotting other signs of autumn like conkers and apples on trees. We even found a muddy patch that was brilliant to squelch and squish in!
This week Pippin Class were lucky enough to have a visit from our local PCSO team. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about the important roles our local police officers play in keeping our community safe.
They were fascinated to explore the different pieces of equipment officers use and even had the exciting opportunity to hear a radio message!
It was wonderful on Friday morning, to have the school community come together to join us for our Harvest Service.
Pippin Class shone brightly with their Big Red Combine Harvester whilst the older children read their poems and prayers beautifully.
Last week, our range of after-school clubs began, filled with lots of enthusiastic children.
Cookery club baked cinnamon and apple rolls using puff pastry. The children used a range of equipment, including pastry brushes and graters, whilst learning new skills like handling pastry.
