• Year 3 Trip to Fishbourne

  Tue 13 May 2025 Mrs Greehy and Miss Wynne

  What an exciting Friday Year 3 had! They visited Fishbourne Roman Palace near Chichester. Throughout the day, they were able to explore the palace, learning facts about how it was found and what happened to it a long time ago. They also had an interactive workshop which involved playing games, making mosaics, looking inside a replica kitchen, spinning wool, wax and ink writing. After this, they walked around the museum learning facts and exploring about roman buildings, coins and houses. In the palace, they have real mosaics on the floor from the Roman time which the children found fascinating to look at the intricate detail. Around the palace, the children wandered around the replica gardens, and realised how it would have looked if they went back in time! It was a wonderful day for the Year 3’s. Their behaviour was excellent and it bought their Roman learning to life!

  

• KS2 Rugby

  Fri 02 May 2025 Mrs Gough

  Our KS2 rugby team have had excellent success this year thanks to their outstanding efforts and Mr Wood’s expertise. 
  
  Here is a lovely recount from some of our team…

  ‘Great Binfields competed in the 24/25 Tudor league. We played 12 games, won 11 and drew the last one. We drew against St Mary’s after a big team effort. First we played at Fairfield’s home and then St Mary’s. After that, we played at Rucstall and finished the league at Great Binfields. We had the biggest win of the season with a 6-0 win. Our wins would not be possible without our amazing coach- Mr Wood! Thank you so much for making this possible. Thank you to all the teams who we played against. You all played brilliant tag rugby.’ 
   

   

• Year R Bikeability!

  Thu 01 May 2025

  Last week the new term started very excitedly as Early Years took part in Bikeability training , using the Balance bikes.  They started by learning about how to make sure our clothing is safe when going on a bike and we then all did a helmet check to make sure that everyone knew the correct way to wear a bike helmet.

  Next we moved onto making sure our bikes were safe. The children were taught how to check their tyres to make sure they had enough air in them, then how to ensure the brakes were working and finally how to make sure that the handlebars were tight enough.

  Once all the checks had been completed, the children were shown how to walk safely with a bike and steer it around cones. We then moved onto riding our bikes. We started by using little steps to move from one place to another and then gradually made these bigger and bigger until we were pushing and gliding all the way across the playground.

  Over the rest of the week the children continued to work on their gliding skills, as well as learning to navigate between and around cones. The children also had to control different speeds and played games to make them stop and start on command.  Finally the children had a range of routes to use around the playground. These criss crossed each other, meaning that they would be travelling into each other's paths. This meant that the children had to stay focused and watch out for other moving bikes that might be travelling towards the same space as them.

  The children all looked forward to their bikeability session each day and it was lovely to see the increase in confidence and resilience throughout the progression of the week.

• Letters from Luke Murphy MP

  Wed 23 Apr 2025

  Today some of the children were very excited to have received a letter in the post from the local MP, Luke Murphy. He thanked them for meeting with him on his recent visit to our school and emphasized the importance of them continuing to make their voices heard. 

  

• World Maths Day 2025

  Mon 31 Mar 2025 Mrs Greehy

  On Wednesday 26th March 2025, it was World Maths Day. To celebrate that 'Maths is for everyone', we all discussed our aspirations for the future and realised that Maths really is involved in so much! We had lots of practical activities and investigations to help us get into the spirit of the day and so much Maths learning was happening around the school! Mathletics and TTRS were also used to help support our learning!

  

• Early Years Mother's Day Afternoon

  Fri 28 Mar 2025

  Early Years have had a wonderful afternoon, as we invited our special loved ones to spend an  afternoon full of lots of fun! The children loved playing various games such as a 'blindfolded obstacle course' and 'crack the code' as well as some lovely craft opportunities and many more activities.  It was so lovely to observe the children thriving in their school environment and spending special time with their loved one. The afternoon ended with the children presenting their family member with a beautiful hand crafted vase with flowers. Thank you to our children for being such wonderful hosts and to our families for taking the time to visit us! 

  

• Year 3 African percussion concert

  Thu 27 Mar 2025 Mrs Greehy and Miss Wynne

  What wonderfully, upbeat performances Year 3 children did today! We were extremely pleased with the children's attitude and effort to their African percussion learning this term. With the help of Mr Balch, the children have learnt which countries the instruments came from, how they are played and also more about the instrument and how it was made. Some of the instruments the children played were: dun duns, djembes, caxixis and cow bells. 

  Well done to all involved, and thank you to those who were able to come and see it. 

  Next up....the violins! We cannot wait to hear the beautiful sound that the children make next term!
