Look at what we have been getting up to in school
This page is dedicated to keeping parents and carers up to date on what we have been getting up to in school.
All about ourselves!
We can’t believe that we have been together now for almost a half term! The children in foundation have made so much progress already and are amazing us everyday with their enthusiasm and ideas. In Foundation 2, we have loved learning all about ourselves, our families and our bodies! The children have been taking on…
Fruit Tasting!
As part of our English this week, we tasted pomegranate, mango, pineapple and grapefruit. They were scrumdillyumptious! We are going to use the word banks that we generated from tasting the exotic fruits to write a persuasive piece of writing all about a fruity chocolate bar.
IFTL Inter Schools Cross Country Event
On Friday our senior and junior cross country teams competed at the IFTL MAT Inter Schools Cross Country Event. Competing against teams from Two Mile Ash, Olney Middle School, Chestnuts and Fairfields, the children did us proud! On a very wet afternoon the children showed determination, resilience, self belief and team work – cheering each…
A visit from Matt Brown…
On Wednesday 25th September we had an exciting visit from the author – Matt Brown! He came in and talked to us about what it was like to be a writer and gave us some brilliant tips on how to write our own stories. Matt was very funny and we laughed a lot during his…
Fantastic Foundation
The children in FS2 have had a fantastic start to the term. They have been learning about themselves in literacy, and have enjoyed using language and describing words to discuss their features, and their likes and dislikes. They have been busy in the art area creating collages of their own faces to go up on…
Chocolate Masters!
We have had such an amazing start to our ‘Scrumdiddlyumptious’ topic – tasting different types of chocolates before planning and making our own creations. Super work, Year 4!
Rio De Vida
We have had some amazing Rio De Vida homework; we have been blown away! There has been a range of float designs, descriptions about Amazon animals, flags, information about Brazilian footballers as well as some delicious homemade Brazilian sweet treats. We are so proud of how hard you have worked, superstars!
Y5 and 6 Residential Update
After happily settling in to their tents, the children explored the woods and collected lots of firewood. Then we used flint and steel to start our fires ready to cook our burgers! We loved the burgers – not all of us enjoyed the washing up afterwards though! For more updates check our Whitehouse Primary Facebook…
Author Visit
We were so pleased to welcome Kirstie Watson to our KS1 assembly to talk about the role of being an author and we even got to hear her wonderful first book called ‘The Witch’s Cat and The Cooking Catastrophe’. We learnt about how to become an author, where the story idea comes from and what…

The children were all super excited to be representing the school in the biggest sporting event of the year so far. The competition involved short distance, long distance, triple jump, long jump, vortex and relay.…
