Welcome to the SpringE
From the Headmistress
Dear Parents
The Summer Term is such a delightful term with lots of fun activities and children enjoying our outdoor spaces as well as all the usual events this half term. Houses are practising for 'Springfield’s Got Talent' this afternoon, which will doubtless be its usual combination of high energy and musical mayhem while our younger years are celebrating the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen’s (official) birthday with a red, white and blue day. Cake and bunting abound in true Springfield fashion.
We are already looking forward to Sports Day on Saturday 25 June, our SPA committee have planned lots of lovely stalls to accompany the races while Mrs Bennett is planning the parents’ race as well as those of the nursery with glee.
I hope you all have a fun weekend.

Royal Celebration
To celebrate Our Majesty's 90th birthday, the children in the whole of Early Years had a 'Royal' red, white and blue day. We all enjoyed crown and necklace making, Royal spaghetti and rice and a wonderful street party picnic lunch. A great day was had by all.
Back In Time
This week, the children in Year Four travelled back in time once again to the Saxon era. We read a Saxon story and then used this to inspire us to make weavings and using natural dyes. We also made rune name tags. The Saxons used runes because it was easier to carve straight lines instead of the curved lines in our alphabet. We also made mud monsters and created stories to explain their appearance. We ate camping food and even cooked on the open fire. In the afternoon, the children decided to create mud recipes, build a ship and hunt down the many mini beasts we had seen throughout the warm morning. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and had a fantastic time.
First Aid Experts
Year One have been looking at St. Johns Ambulance, learning and writing about all of the things that they do to help people. We looked at some of the training they offer, some events that they support and thought about what they do to help in an emergency. We even used some of their online videos to practice some first aid on each other. The children are now proficient at bandaging.
