Our Key Stage Two girls enjoyed an afternoon of cricket today, thanks to Amber and Niamh, from the Somerset Cricket Foundation, who came to school to share their knowledge and skills and promote girls' cricket.
Before half-term, we visited our local church, St Thomas A Becket in Lovington. Miss Payne kindly shared with us some of the church's history, including when it was built, how it was originally a Roman Catholic church and how many villagers used it in Medieval times.
We learned about the altar, pews, baptism roll, font, as well as looking at some of the architecture like the roses around the main door. We even got to play the organ!
As part of our recent Design and Technology project, Pippin Class were tasked with designing and making their own glove puppet. Before we could start making them, the children had to learn how to sew, which was a new skill for many. The children learnt how to over stitch and also create a running stitch - it took a lot of practice!
What a wonderful day we had on at for our May Fayre. The sun shone brightly whilst we all enjoyed maypole and country dancing, face painting, archery, splat-a-rat, hook a duck, coconut throws, the birds of prey as well as delicious cakes and a very popular BBQ.
It was wonderful to see us all come together and enjoy such a fabulous day. Thank you to everyone that came along and supported our school.
Today we celebrated VE Day, we started with a whole school worship, learning about the day and what it represented. We heard about soldiers from Castle Cary. Mrs Small even showed us their houses, which still stand today and laid two certificates of remembrance on our VE Day display table.
Bramley and Russet Class began their first week back to school after the Easter break, with a visit to The Royal Bath and West Showground for the annual Field to Food Event. The children had a wonderful day exploring all aspects of farming. This included sheep shearing, wool spinning, living hazel hedging and milking. They enjoyed various food tastings, learnt how to deliver a calf and thoroughly enjoyed watching a gun dog display. The children also saw lambs, piglets and some very large tractors.
Thank you to the Bath and West for providing such a fabulous day!
On Monday, Pippin Class hosted a Mother's Day afternoon tea for their families. The children shared poems, sang songs and enjoyed delicious scones and cakes with the special ladies in their lives.
It has been wonderful to have the sunshine out this week, the children have enjoyed using the field during lunch times and within their lessons.
Bramley Class have started to plan and write their own portal stories, taking inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and The Journey by Aaron Becker.

Our Careers Week came to an end with two more brilliant visitors coming to the school to talk to the children about their careers. A big thank you to Mr. Mullins for coming in and explaining all about his role working for a historic building conservation company. He shared how he trained as a stonemason and conservator. The children loved looking at the different stone types, architectural carvings, masonry tools, drawings and photos. They even had the chance to try their hand at their own carvings using clay and tools.
