The journey to PGL was grand. There was pure excitement and delicious anticipation of the fun that was waiting for us.

The Herons and Hummingbirds @FP have been hard at work this week, turning our halls into a swirl of music, laughter, and holiday sparkle!

From perfecting dance steps to practising their biggest smiles, these talented performers are getting ready to wow everyone at our upcoming Christmas Show.

If you walk by their classrooms, you might hear jingle bells jingling, tiny feet tapping, and a whole lot of giggles as they rehearse. Their energy is contagious—and their excitement is building every single day!

We can’t wait for families to see the magic they’ve been creating. Get ready… this year’s show is going to be bright, joyful, and absolutely unforgettable! 🎶🌟

Welcome back, Kingfishers @FP! After two weeks off, it’s lovely to see everyone back, refreshed and ready for another exciting half term. We have six busy weeks ahead before the next break, filled with lots of learning — and plenty of festive fun to look forward to!

We’ve been focusing on following our class rules and becoming more independent in our learning. The children are already showing great effort and maturity as they settle back into routines.

In maths, we’re working hard on our times tables. This is such an important skill, and we’d really appreciate your support in practising at home — a few minutes each day can make a big difference!

Our PE lessons have been extra fun as we’ve started cricket with our coach, Dan. The children are learning new techniques and working brilliantly as a team.

In English, we’re continuing to focus on developing our writing, using exciting vocabulary and improving the flow of our sentences. In History, we’re still exploring the fascinating world of the Vikings, while in Geography, we’re learning more about the River Thames and its importance to London.

There’s already a buzz of excitement in the air as we begin to think about all the Christmas activities coming up — it’s sure to be a wonderful end to our term together!

This term in Design & Technology, Hawk Class @FP has been exploring the full design process of pop-up books! Students have been generating and developing ideas using pattern pieces and researching to create innovative, functional, and appealing products for a specific audience. They are learning to select and use the right tools and equipment with confidence, join and combine a variety of materials effectively, and evaluate their products against original design criteria — reflecting on both their own ideas and the feedback of others. The class has shown fantastic creativity and practical skill throughout!

 Mark Making Fun at Oakbridge Nursery! 

This week we’ve been exploring lines and circles using chalk and bubbles! 
The children loved making big, sweeping movements, helping to build their gross motor skills — an important step in the early stages of writing and mark making. 

We’ve had so much fun expressing ourselves through movement and creativity!

This week Dove class @FP have been making their own puppets using felt and thready. The children really enjoyed learning how to sew, taking care to  thread through each hole. They then decorated their puppets with other bits of materials. 

This week we also attended the spooky disco and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves dancing and singing along to the songs.

Today I will be sending home and home learning pack which contains some words to practise writing, some maths and some words to read. 

Many thanks for the support and I hope you have a lovely two week break.

Year 6 Eagle class @FP

Last week, we were delighted to welcome Rev. Nick to our whole-school Harvest Assembly. He spoke to the children about kindness, generosity, and gratitude — reminding us all how much we have to be thankful for in the beautiful world we live in.

Our pupils reflected thoughtfully on the journey of food from farm to plate — even something as simple as a bag of pasta — and how many hands help along the way before it reaches our tables.

A heartfelt thank you to all our families for your wonderful donations and continued support. Your generosity helps us share kindness with others and truly brings the spirit of Harvest to life in our school community.

Year 3 Pelican @FP have been digging deeper into the Stone Age and discovering fascinating facts about life thousands of years ago!

We became archaeologists for the day and examined replica Stone Age poo to uncover clues about their diet. During the Neolithic period, people began settling in one place and farming the land, so their meals included seeds, berries, fish, and oats.

We also explored how historians learn from Stone Age cave art. Inspired by these ancient artworks, we had a go at creating our own cave paintings to show what life might have been like back then!
