Class Two

Class 2 has been learning about capacity and mass. We have estimated and then used our measuring skills to read scales and record measurements.

Class One

Class 1 has had an incredibly busy week as you will see on the next few pages. In between the visits from a bus and a car we had a lovely al fresco picnic.

Class Four

Class 4 measured the field this week as

part of their’ BAM’ task. Using these measurements, they worked out the possible

cost of a Multi-Use Games Area. They calculated the amount of money needed for the fencing, artificial grass and gates.

Class Three

Class 3 has been using the 'insert

shape' function in MS Word to create digital technical drawings in support of their working castle drawbridge designs.

This particular diagram was created by Lily in year 4 and George in year 3.

– School news The Naughty Bus

What better way to end this half term’s topic on ‘The Naughty Bus’ then to have a playbus come onto the playground for a two hour party? The reception children loved every minute of the surprise and their faces were an absolute picture when it came beeping on to the playground.


– School news The name’s Hamlyn, Graham Hamlyn

On Wednesday lunchtime one of the parents from reception brought a test car in from work for the children to see. William’s dad works for Jaguar Landrover and thought the children (and staff!) might like to see a brand new Aston Martin. Those interested got to sit in the convertible and sound the horn and Mr Hamlyn kindly let us hear the engine rev which was quite a loud experience but only the children in reception could fit in the tiny seats in the rear.


– School news Henley in Bloom Competition

On Wednesday the Henley in Bloom Committee came into school and gave an assembly to the children about their work, the importance of eating fruit and vegetables and how easy it is to grow your own. They also talked about the many uses of mint and launched a competition for the children to grow their own mint. Each family was given one pot and during the assembly they put compost in the pot and planted the seeds. Pupils are welcome to decorate the pots which should be brought back into school on Monday 18th July 2016 when the committee will return to judge the best mint pot.


– School news

Habitat Survival Trust

Class 2 had a fabulous day at The Habitat Survival Trust on Thursday. They built a dam in a stream, went searching for deer tracks, found a latrine for badgers in the woods, had a talk from Penny, a local bat expert who takes in rescued bats and got to stroke a Pipistrelle Bat.


– School news Reception Stay and Play

Parents of reception children were invited into school on Thursday to see for themselves the children’s learning during the ‘Naughty Bus’ topic. They watched an i-movie the children had made retelling the story of the naughty bus, they looked at their books and they watched a slideshow of the children on the party bus.


– pupil achievements Luca - football

At the Henley Forest end of season football presentation last Sunday, Luca was awarded the U10 Manager’s player of the year. His manager said he was chosen because of his fantastic attitude, team spirit and always having a smile on his face. Three wonderful attributes for a great footballer. Well done Luca!
