Last week, Year 5 put on a fantastic outdoor show titled Grovefest! Parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins were all welcome and the weather conditions managed to be pretty ideal.

The Year 5 teachers and children worked so hard to prepare a dazzling show - there was dancing, rapping, singing and acting Shakespeare. We are so proud of our performers!

(Plus we got to watch England win a game in the classroom JUST before we went on stage - wonderful timing!)

Last week, our Year 6s who are starting KWS in September, were treated to an afternoon of sport at their new school.

They completed a carousel of fun activities planned and led by the @kwschoolharpenden students.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the event and would like to thank KWS.

Here is Lilac class also enjoying their taster of secondary school Media @sirjohnlawes

They had a fun quiz first all about recognising film posters, learned all about the names of different types of camera shot including bird's eye/ close up then worked in groups to create stills using a video camera. The SJL students who worked with us were fantastic with helping the children and Lilac class had a great time!

Despite the heat, Magnolia have been working hard to prepare for their upcoming violin performance next week. They have worked so hard on plucking, bow control and reading different notes. They cannot wait to share their musical skills with their parents and carers. Thank you to Miss Windram @musicaleuk for her fantastic violin lessons, we have all enjoyed every second of it.

Redwood class were delighted to be invited by our Nursery children who had chosen some of their favourite books. Reading together was an absolute pleasure and we all had the best time. The Year 6s commented that it was lovely revisiting some of their favourite books from when they were nursery age. @thegroveinfants

Year 5 had a special treat this week with a visit to the Harpenden Recycling Centre on Dark Lane - conveniently located next door to school! It was brilliant to make our Geography topic of sustainability come to life, learning about how much of what we throw away is recycled. We also got to see the large digger in action which was quite a thrill!
