We had great fun today at our sports day. It was certainly a hot day and we needed our sun safety!
We began with a carousel of activities that our parents and carers watched us do. Bean bag toss, javelin, skipping and hockey all ably led by our year 6 helpers.
We also had a relay activity led by SASP. Mr Moore also ran a rugby stuck in the mud activity- we had a lovely time.
Then we ended with our traditional races.
A huge thank you for all your support, I hope you will agree how amazing Wren Class participated. I was so proud of them all.
Cross Curricualr carrot and growing activity
We followed some amazing activites from a local supermarket. Wren class talked about healthy eating. We looked at our plates and what makes a "healthy plate".
Then we looked at carrots and investigated them but the most exciting part was when Mr Butt said we could cut the tops off and to see if they grew in water? We are so excited to see what happens...
Sun Safety and Road Safety
Wren Class did lots of work this week on Sun Safety and my goodness didn't we need it! and we loved learning about road safety practically.
Our posters and our writing were brilliant! Well done Wrens.

Mondrian tree painting - cross curricular art - June 2025
Following on from our learning about trees we have been looking at the artist Mondrian. Part of his work is that he painted trees so we tried to paint our own. We used paint and watercolours. Our fine motor skills are amazing! We definately have some great artists!
Deciduous and Evergreen Trees - In Art - June 2025
We have been learning about trees. We began by looking at the structure of a tree and noticing how similar or different it was to a plant.
We learnt that deciduous trees are seasonal and will loose their leaves at the end of their growing season. Evergreen trees will stay green all year round.
Nature Ramble - June 2025
This afternoon we went for a nature ramble, trying to find colours in nature. We found some items that we took back to class. We even managed to attach pieces to our sheets! We had great fun!
Mass - May 2025
This week we have been investigation mass. We looked at how a balance works to make comparisons. We used the stem sentences -
"The ------- is heavier than the -----------"
"The ------ is lighter than the ------------"
We had great fun investigating with anomals and then classroom objects.
Computing open afternoon - May 2025
This afternoon we held our computing afternoon and welcomed parents in to do some coding.
Coding is about learning how to input instructionsto get a beebot to move. Today we practiced cosing with a table top game and we had to work collaboratively. First we set up some obstacles on a grid, Then we had to draw arroes on post it notes to make the route for our toy, from the start to a designated finishing square.
Our amazing flight to Africa! - May 2025
We went on an exciting trip to Africa!
When we arrived at school, we had a look in our suitcases and talked about what was in there. Some us packed lightly others didn't!
In the afternoon we arrived at the airport. We were in security and looked at some suitcases that went through the scanner, we guessed what some of the items were.
Eventually we were called yo our gate for boarding. Our passports were checked and we put our luggage under the seat. We then watched our inflight safety video before taking off from Bristol Airport.
Then we had inflight mmovies and snacks, offered by the air stewards.
Finally we landed in Africa. We noticed how the landscape changed , with the ground being much browner.
We had a great flight!
Easter fun!
Thank you to those of you who joined us for our Easter service and parade. It is always lovely to see so much parent support. Here are a few photographs for you to enjoy.
Museum of Somerset - March 2025
We have had a wonderful day visiting the museum, as a finale to our dinosaur topic. We found lots of different fossils as well as other artefacts such as old coins, swords, skeletons, stone sculptures from a church, an old fire engine and old bicycles, as well as much more! We also had the opportunity to take part in some workshops where we became palaeontologists, digging for fossils, and painted our own ammonite.

The Royal Ball - February 2025
Well, what can I say! We had a marvellous finale to our fairytale topic with a Royal ball in the ‘ballroom’. All of our Princesses looked so beautiful and the Princes were very smart! The children learned some ballroom dances and then had a delicious banquet! Thank you for all your kind donations and aspecial thank you to Miss Blackmore for preparing a mountain of balloons for each child! Here are some photos for you to enjoy!
We hope you all have a very happy and safe half term Mrs Legg, Mr Butt and the EYFS team 😊
Trip to the park - November 2024
This afternoon, we had a trip to the park! We spotted some familiar landmarks such as the zebra crossing, the tall Christmas tree and St Francis Church. Once at the park, we were able to play on the equipment, demonstrating how we could use our gross motor skills to climb, slide and balance. It was a little bit muddy! (apologies for muddy clothes and shoes but we had so much fun!). Here are some photos of us enjoying ourselves.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo - Art - October 2024
Wren Class enjoyed looking at the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo especially at harvest time. We looked at his pictures carefully with Mr Butt before creating our own with a friend. We used our Oracy skills and negotiating skills to create our faces. What masterpieces they were!!!!
Harvest Festival Service - October 2024
Wren class joined the rest of KS1 at our Harvest Festival at St Francis of Assisi Church. We were welcomed by the Reverened Catherine. We enjoyed sharing the songs we had been learning. Wren Class favourite song was 'Harvest Hoedown'! It was so lovely to see the church full to bursting! Well done Wren's.
Carnival - October
This afternoon we had a special visitor, Mr Radford, who came to talk to us about the local tradition of carnival. He has been involved in carnival for 30 years and his family for much longer! This year is the 177th year of Bridgwater carnival! Mr Radford spoke to us about all the special jobs that people have to do, to get the carnival ready for us to watch. He showed us some of the props and costumes that have been used and we saw him and Miss Stacey on a video from last years carnival. At the end of Bridgwater carnival there is a special display called squibbing. We saw a cosh. This is the big stick that is used by the squibbers. It has a firework attached and this is set off and held up high, as we remember Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot. Carnival is an important part of our local heritage and sees the community come together in celebration. Will you be going to watch the carnival this year?

Hello Yellow - World Mental Health Day - October 2024
We celebrated world mental health day by wearing yellow to school. What better way than to reconnect with nature and enjoy a morning at forest school. We also learnt and participted in some minfulness and yoga! We also had some activities out in provision that we used our Oracy to describe what made us happy.
Signs of Autmn Nature Walk - October 2024
What a wonderful welly walk exploring all signs of Autumn!
Kandinsky Concentric Cirles - Art - October 2024
As Artists we have been learning about an artist called Wassily Kandinsky. We discovered he lived a long time ago. We looked at his paintings and we used our oracy skills to say if we liked them or not. We then learned that they were called 'abstract' and this meant that they do not look like 'things'. We also talked about how he used bright colours and different shapes. We then used paper plates to help us paint our own concentric circles. We looked at colour mixing and brush control.
Art - Our unique Christmas Cards - September 2024
Wow! Wren Class have been busy designing and making their Christmas cards to raise funds for our school. We used our Oracy skills to talk abbout how it felt to have our hands painted "Squishy", "Slimy" and "Cold" were some of the words we used. We also had to use our perseverance skills as they had to be painted in stages! Well done Wren Class I think you'll agree that they look amazing!
Day of Languages - Spain - September 2024
For our Day of Languages we have been learning about Spain. We were all dressed in red and yellow! Some of us knew that we had been there on our holidays and we needed to go on an aeroplane. We knew it was hot and there was a swimming pool, not to mention ice cream! We looked where it would be on our globe.
We also looked at spanish food and used our oracy to tell our friends if we would like it. Paella caused great converstaion!
We watched flamenco dancers and had a go ourselves. We made our own fans to keep cool and painted some flags. We also had a go at speaking spanish - what a great fun day!
Our first Forest School Session - September 2024
Wren class have had the best time at their first Forest School session. Mrs Nurcombe started off by introducing our rules and expectations, along with things to be mindful of such as stinging nettles. The children then went on for conkers to collect. We found lots!! We then moved over to a different area and found some acorns! The children were amazed and found some acorns complete with their hats! Next we found a very LARGE egg...the children thought it may belong to a dragon! Mrs Nurcombe then showed the children a rose hip bush and when we went to the pond area the butterflies were eating the brambles. After our break we went back out again but the highlight was when a little baby frog hopped on to Mrs Nurcombe's Welly! We all had a wonderful time exploring and can't wait to go again next week!!!
Our first week at school - September 2024
The children of Wren Class have had an amazing first week at school. They have all had fun, discovering all that the classrrom has to offer. They have loved playing inside and outside, making new friends along the way.
We have talked about our school rules and being Ready, Respectful and Safe. We explored the school environment on Mr Butt's walk around the school grounds.
Come Fly Away - Our flight to Africa - April 2024
Last week, we all received a very special ticket for a flight to Africa! We packed our cases and brought them into school, ready for our exciting adventure! First, we all had the opportunity to share our cases with our friends. We spoke about the things we had put in and the reason for taking them. Nkosana and Layla packed some African currency so that they could buy themselves a meal or a present in Africa, and George packed a rope as he would like to climb a mountain! Then this afternoon we went to the airport and waited for our flight to be ready. We learnt that the planes are directed from a flight tower. (Perhaps you could look out for one next time you are near an airport). We watched a suitcase going through a scanner and tried to identify the things inside. Our teachers explained that there are some things that we can not take on an aeroplane. We then went through the body scanner. It beeped if we had something we shouldn’t! 😂
Finally, we were called to board our plane. It took a while to get everyone on, but we were soon settled. We did up our seatbelts and watched the safety demonstration before our flight took off. We could see the fields below and even spotted some vehicles moving along the road. We then flew over Bristol. There were lots of buildings! During our flight, we had a movie and an inflight snack. Before we knew it, it was time to begin our descent into Africa. We passed through the clouds and watched as the wing of the plane changed, to slow us down. Africa looked quite different from Bristol, with land of a single colour and quite a lot of buildings. It was a very smooth flight and we clapped as we landed!
Everyone was ready to go to their hotels and very excited about what they might see! Let’s hope they’re all 5 star resorts!
Wren Class are amazing at their Oracy - May 2024

Magdalen Farm Superstars! - July 2024
Hello Wow wow wow what an amazing day we have all had! 😊👍 The children were amazing and I was very proud of all of them! First we went out to do some sowing, harvesting and tasting. We first tasted lots of things, things we might not usually taste. We tasted basil, nasturtium flowers and borage flowers. We then tasted cucumbers that Rhi picked freshly. We then went on to pick blackcurrants to help Magdalen make jam! We had to look carefully and use our fine motor skills. We then planted mange touts and this helped us as we wrote about planting a seed this week in English. After lunch we were very excited to feed all the animals we had pigs and piglets, chickens, goats but the cows were shy! After that we all made potions which was fun as it used all our senses! A really super day and a very proud teacher 😊😊
