This morning, the Brass Ensemble joined the Canzona Brass Quintet, Mrs Brockhurst’s ensemble, for a wonderful concert at St Stephen’s, Bournemouth.

It was a fantastic performance and a brilliant opportunity for our young musicians to perform alongside professional players, gaining valuable inspiration and confidence. After a successful morning of music-making, they are now enjoying some well-earned time playing on the beach.

Year 4 Investigate: How Much Fizz Is Really in Fizzy Drinks?

Year 4 turned into budding scientists this week as they explored how much fizz different fizzy drinks contain as part of their science topic on reactions.

Armed with bottles of cola, lemonade, tropical soda and orange soda, the children added seven Mentos to each drink to see whether there was any difference in the fizziness of the reaction. The results were spectacular and very messy.

After each eruption, the class carefully measured the remaining liquid in the bottle to compare how much gas had escaped. This allowed them to investigate which drink produced the biggest reaction and consider the reasons why.

It was a brilliant hands on experiment full of excitement, teamwork and scientific thinking. Year 4 showed fantastic curiosity and accuracy in their measurements, making it a fizz tastic morning of learning.

Year 7 and 8 Adventure in the Bannau Brycheiniog.

Three memorable days in the Bannau Brycheiniog saw our Year 7 and 8 pupils embrace every challenge with enthusiasm and determination. From climbing, abseiling, caving and horse riding to bouldering and zip wires, they repeatedly pushed beyond their comfort zones and discovered what they were capable of achieving.

Our thanks go to the outstanding instructors, especially Beck, whose inspiring words about self-belief, resilience and growth perfectly reflected the character shown by the group throughout the trip.

Most impressive of all was the way the pupils supported one another, strengthening friendships, solving problems together and demonstrating teamwork at every opportunity. A fantastic few days of challenge, achievement and memories that will last for years to come.

Year 5 Residential Adventure at Calshot!

On Monday and Tuesday, the Year 5 children enjoyed a fantastic two-day residential to Calshot Activities Centre. From the moment we arrived, the trip was action-packed. The children took part in a wide range of activities, including indoor skiing, climbing, and the low ropes challenges, which encouraged teamwork, resilience, communication and problem-solving skills. They also enjoyed a beach explorer activity, searching for a variety of items along the shore. One of the highlights was our evening activity on Monday when the children went on the ringos. For almost an hour, they sprinted up the indoor ski slope and then came whizzing and spinning back down with huge smiles on their faces. It was no wonder they slept well that night! We all had a great time away and the children returned with lots of happy memories and stories to share.

On Sunday the girl choristers took part in an incredibly special ceremony at the historic site of Old Sarum to mark the 800th anniversary of the relocation of the remains of Bishops Osmund, Roger and Jocelin to Salisbury Cathedral.

They sang a beautiful service under blue skies and then walked the two miles back to Salisbury Cathedral, arriving just in time to sing evensong!
