SpetisburyCofE Primary School

What a fantastic first half term for our Acorns! Our Reception children have made such a wonderful start to their school journey, and we couldn't be prouder of how they have settled in, embraced new experiences and grown in confidence over the past few weeks. From making new friendships and exploring their learning environments to developing independence, curiosity and a love of learning, it has been a half term full of smiles, laughter and special moments. Our little Acorns have already grown so much, and we can't wait to see them continue to blossom throughout the year! Wishing all of our families a lovely, restful half term break. You've certainly earned it!

What a fantastic day out for Year 2 at Launceston Farm! We met the cows, hunted for worms, fed the pigs and made our own bread! 🐮 🐷 🪱 🥖

This afternoon, our Year 6s took part in a Beat the Goalie challenge to raise money for a charity supporting communities in Nepal who have been affected by the recent flooding. Our class had a brilliant time showing off their football skills, with some fantastic goals and saves! A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help make a difference 💕 Well done, Year 6!

What a perfect way to end our final day of term.🍦 A huge thank you to FOSS for our tasty ice lollies, they were definitely appreciated! From us all at Spetisbury, thank you for another fantastic year. We hope you all have a brilliant summer!

Maple Class have been busy planning and making Mocktails for their work on capacity. They all tasted delicious 😋

What a way to cool off! Our Year 6 had an amazing time during today's water fight! There was lots of laughter, plenty of teamwork, and, safe to say... everyone ended up far more soaked than we planned! A fantastic afternoon making memories together before the end of term.

Woohoo! What an amazing first year the Acorns have had at Spetisbury. They have become fabulous at phonics, marvellous at maths and explored our world from the planets high above, to the ocean far below. We can hardly believe their first year with us is almost over, I think you would all agree they have all been absolutely fantastic. To celebrate their first year of school, the children invited their grown ups in for an afternoon of singing, water safety tips and sharing their lovely learning from throughout the year. It was a super afternoon and a great opportunity for the grownups to see The Acorn Classroom up close. Well done Acorns, you are all superstars! 🌟

Year 2 and 3 had a fantastic 'Travel Around the World Day' today. They began the day by creating their own passports, before going through security and taking their seats on the Spetisbury Airways flight where our air hostess, Miss Darby gave an important safety briefing! Throughout the day, the children explored different countries, tasted foods from around the world, enjoyed a craft activity and collected stamps in their passports along the way. It was lovely to see the children so excited and engaged. What a wonderful day! 🌍

Day 2: axe throwing, rifle shooting and tag archery followed by an afternoon of bodyboarding and sea safety! This evening we've relaxed by the campfire, sharing some songs, jokes and marshmallows. (Not even a residential can get in the way of the World Cup!)

Day 1: (very) high ropes!

Doing our Baywatch thing! #oakarethehoff

High ropes - leap of faith

Year 6 have arrived and safely completed a fire drill! What a view!

Today, our whole school enjoyed a wonderful transfer morning, spending time in their new classrooms, meeting their new teachers, and getting excited about the year ahead. It was a pleasure to welcome our new Acorn Class and we hope our amazing year 6s had a fantastic secondary transition day as they prepare for their next adventure. We are very proud of the maturity and enthusiasm all the children at Spetisbury have shown today, and we can't wait to see them thrive in their new year groups! Well done everyone! 🌟
