CBPPS

This week Year 1 have been combining history with art, creating these amazing portraits of fireworks as they learn about Bonfire Night. Using colourful pastels, the children used their imaginations to design their brilliant and bright pictures of the night sky.

Welcome back for the second half of autumn term! This week Reception are learning about repeating patterns in maths, and the children are using colourful penguins and different size teddy bears in order to learn about, distinguish and create their own repeating patterns.

On Friday 8th July, the entire school came together for a prize-giving assembly to mark all the many accomplishments of the children through this academic year.

Winning cups, badges, competitions and trophies, it is our annual chance to highlight the many outstanding maths, musical and sport achievements of pupils in all year groups.

Well done to all our winners, our new house captains and congratulations to Shaw House for winning the House Cup for summer term!

On Thursday 7th July, Reception and Nursery were filled with wonder when they discovered a playground petting zoo set up in the front playground!

The children hand-fed chickens and ducks, discovered that hedgehogs can swim and enjoyed giving a bunny a cuddle as they learnt more about these woodland creatures.

On Thursday 30th June, Reception to Year 6 put on their dancing shoes and wowed parents and teachers with a fantastic performance of ‘Part of This World’, a play written for the children of CBPPS by the acclaimed author Nancy Tucker.

Filled with wonder and enchantment, each class took to the stage to perform a spectacular song and dance, before a grand finale that saw the entire school join Year 6 for a farewell song.

Well done to all the children for putting so much dedication and enthusiasm into learning your lines and routines, and thank you to all families that helped with costumes, hairstyles and face painting!

It really was an out of this world production!

This June the sun has been shining and our classrooms have expanded to include the playground! We’ve had maths, computing, dance and more taking place in the sunshine outside. Year 1 have been estimating water volumes, gardening club have been weeding the flowerbeds and growing sunflowers, Year 4 measured the block around the school in metres (after estimating the distance) and Years 5 & 6 made the pagoda their classroom for computing.
