Sharks Explore the Digestive System! This term, the Sharks have been uncovering the gruesome truths behind the fascinating digestive system! To learn about the different body parts involved and their roles, we used plenty of imagination and drama to recreate the digestive system outside the body. We discovered that digestion begins before food even enters our mouthswhen we smell delicious food! The children explored how our teeth and saliva break food down into smaller pieces, how the oesophagus squeezes food into the stomach, and how the stomach churns it with powerful digestive enzymes. We also learned how nutrients pass into the bloodstream through tiny structures in the small intestine, and how water is absorbed in the large intestine before the remaining waste leaves the body. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring science to life and deepen our understanding of how our amazing bodies work!

Congratulations to our children who achieved Learning Characteristic of the Week and Citizen of the Week certificates. In Thursday's Assembly, Mrs Waters presented these certificates to children, who have been chosen by their class teacher, for either excellent progress in a particular subject or for displaying one of our Learning Characteristics. During this assembly, we also celebrated good attendance and sporting achievements. Well done everyone!

This afternoon, we enjoyed a wonderful visit from two talented musicians, Ishani Bhoola on the violin and Simon Kenworthy on the piano. The children were completely engaged throughout the live performance and thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the music first-hand. It was a fantastic opportunity to hear such skilled musicians perform and to learn more about their instruments. A huge thank you to Ishani and Simon for taking the time to visit us. They will be performing at Winterton Church tomorrow as part of the May to September Music Festival 2026. We have attached a leaflet of upcoming events for your convenience.

It was brilliant to see our Year 3 and Year 4 children enjoying a fun and competitive game of football against Henley Primary School this week! Henley Primary, one of our Consortium Trust schools, has been staying at our residential centre, and it was fantastic for the children to come together, build new friendships and showcase excellent teamwork and sportsmanship. Well done to everyone involved for making it such an enjoyable event. We are incredibly proud of the way our children represented the school both on and off the pitch!

Miss Williams is looking forward to visiting Hemsby Hedgehogs Stay and Play! It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet families, make new friends and enjoy some fun activities together. We can't wait to see you there!
