🔬Science Stars!🔬
Our year 3 children worked in groups to take part in four exciting investigations, similar to the types of investigations they will carry out as TAB scientists throughout the year. It was fantastic to see the children working collaboratively, making predictions and getting stuck into their first science investigations. What a brilliant start to their science learning! 🌟

Our year 5 pupils have made a fantastic start to their new topics in English, art and RE! 📚🎭🎨✏️

In English, the pupils created dramatic tableaux to bring the key events of 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' to life. They then explored character illustration in art using wooden mannequins to capture dynamic poses. Finally, in RE, the children have been learning about the story of Rama and Sita using freeze frames to deepen their understanding of its importance to Hindus.

Well done for such a creative and engaging start to the term, year 5!

🍦This term, Year 3 have been learning how to order an ice cream in French. The children have learnt the names of 10 different flavours, how to ask for a pot or a cone and how to order up to three scoops. This afternoon, they put their new language skills to the test, by visiting their very own French ice cream parlour. The children had lots of fun ordering their ice creams in French and of course enjoying a delicious treat afterwards! 🍦

💚Green Flag Award with Distinction🏆✨

We are proud to announce that we have achieved our Green Flag Award with Distinction, recognising our commitment to sustainability and environmental education. 🌿🌎

The award celebrates the many ways pupils engage with environmental issues, including our thriving Forest School, sustainable Travel Plan, Fairtrade activities, conservation and Eco work across the curriculum.

Through outdoor learning, active travel initiatives and projects that promote global citizenship and environmental responsibility, pupils develop the knowledge and skills needed to make a positive difference in their communities and beyond.

We are delighted to receive this recognition and look forward to continuing our Eco work within school and the local community.🙌🏫💚

Please see some of our feedback below from Eco Schools 👇💬🌱

The “World of Change” exhibition is an innovative and exciting way of educating pupils on the topic of sustainable energy. These practical projects not only help develop understanding of energy usage but also build pupils’ sense of responsibility and creativity.

We are delighted to read that pupils were able to learn about safe rail travel and how using public transport can help minimise pollution when commuting.

With incredible dedication to connecting with the local area, we think Thomas A Becket Junior School has shown brilliant efforts to learn about and act on the ways we as humans affect the environment. 🤝🏫🌟🌱

This afternoon, our Ruby and Diamond readers were invited to the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party as a reward for their fantastic commitment to reading throughout the year.

With the Mad Hatter, Alice, the March Hare and even Tweedledum and Tweedledee in attendance, the Peace Garden was transformed into a magical wonderland. The tables were piled high with cakes and treats, the squash flowed freely and excitement filled the air.

The children spent the afternoon eating, drinking and playing games together, celebrating not only their achievements but also the joy that reading can bring. It was wonderful to see so many smiles and to recognise the dedication and enthusiasm they have shown all year.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon so special. We can’t wait to do it all again next year! ☕️🍰📚♥️
