Year 2 Visit the Titanic museum!

Thu 29 Jan 2026

Year 2 had a fantastic day at the Titanic Museum! We enjoyed discovering real artefacts and learning more about the Titanic disaster and the lasting significance it has had on our lives today. The children took part in a brilliant guided tour, followed by a busy, hands-on workshop, and then had time to explore the museum in small groups. It was a super fun and engaging way to celebrate and deepen our learning outside the classroom.

Year 2 topic launch- The Titanic!

Mon 05 Jan 2026

Today, Year 2 launched their new Titanic topic with an immersive experience in the school hall, which was transformed into the Titanic itself. The children were given different tickets at random, which determined the class they would travel in.

First Class passengers enjoyed a luxurious experience with beautifully laid tables and Haribo as their snack. Second Class sat on mats and were given custard creams, while Third Class had much less space and a simple rich tea biscuit.

Throughout the morning, the children compared the different classes and discussed how passengers’ experiences varied depending on where they travelled. They also began learning about the timeline of the Titanic, making it a memorable and engaging start to the topic.

Great Binfields had the pleasure of welcoming the fantastic Treehouse Theatre Company back into school to perform their version of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ for our Christmas pantomime treat this year. It was a phenomenal show and the children were captivated by the brilliant acting, awesome ‘Dad jokes’ and popular songs - we can’t escape the KPop Demon Hunters extravanganza!

Reindeer Surprise at Great Binfields Scool!

Mon 15 Dec 2025

Last Thursday, Great Binfields School had a truly magical surprise when two reindeers came to visit! We all had an amazing time meeting them and learning lots about their lives, including what they eat and how they live in the wild. Everyone was especially amazed to discover that reindeers grow new antlers every year. A big thank you to our PTA for organising such a special and memorable experience for us all.

Year R Nativity

Thu 11 Dec 2025 Mrs Greehy

In December, the Early Years children took on the huge task of retelling the Christmas story, by working together to perform the Christmas Nativity for everyone to enjoy. 'A miracle in Town' was performed so brilliantly by all of the children. We began by learning the song words and actions, and then moved on to acting out our parts and learning our lines. After lots of practise, we then performed in front of the KS1 and our parents and carers! Everyone was so proud of what they achieved! Well done and Merry Christmas!

Year 2 Paddington Christmas Show

Wed 10 Dec 2025

Our wonderful Year 2 children have made us incredibly proud this week with their fantastic Paddington-themed Christmas Show. They performed with confidence, presenting their work so beautifully and singing every song with enthusiasm. A strong favourite among the audience was their brilliant “12 Days of Christmas – Paddington Version”, which they delivered with huge smiles and plenty of festive cheer!

Well done, Year 2 — you truly smashed it! 🎄🐻✨

Parliament/ Democracy Week

Thu 27 Nov 2025

This week in school it has been Parliament/ Democracy Week. As part of this, children in Key Stage 2 were given the opportunity to share a speech with their classmates if they were interested in becoming their class' Pupil Parliament representative for this academic year. Each class then held a secret ballot to elect their new minister.

Alongside this, we have also held whole school elections for Year 6 children who would like to be this year's Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Watch this space for the incoming results!

Well done Year 2!

Avon Tyrrell - Day 3

Thu 13 Nov 2025

Last night, the children were happy to have an early night after a dinner, a shower and a movie night. Raring to go, we woke up to good weather again today (thank goodness) and even had sunshine this morning, lighting up the glorious grounds. After filling up on a delicious cooked breakfast, we have been able to make the most of our activities today.

The children have been throwing themselves down the zip line (some even hanging upside down - by choice), have made catapults in pioneering and survived ‘storms’ in their shelter building. Today, the staff have been so impressed by the growing teamwork and cooperation amongst the children - especially evident during the challenge course. We have been fuelled by delicious food - burgers and homemade chips for lunch and stir fry this evening.

We enjoyed a camp fire this evening. The children enjoyed singing songs and playing games, alongside toasting marshmallows. After another busy day, the children will be looking forward to bedtime before the last day, tomorrow.

“I was feeling nervous to begin with, but I managed to grab the bar in the Leap of Faith in the High Ropes.” Elijah

“I got drenched in mud during the challenge course.” Fearne

“I’m not usually good with heights but I challenged myself to my limit and was so pleased I did the jump off during the High Ropes.” Rayan

”I really enjoyed the den building as I didn’t get too wet during the shelter building as my den was somewhat waterproof.” Bella J
