Pupils enjoyed the Inter-house Cross Country Competition this morning, with some exceptional running in all year groups. St Ives is renowned for its killer hill so it's always a tough run! Well done everyone. We look forward to the day when we can re-start inviting the other local schools in to compete.

Reception have had great fun putting on their own puppet shows. The children loved watching each other's performances and were so good at waiting patiently until it was their turn. A wonderful afternoon!

It's #macmillancoffeemorning here at St Ives. We challenged the children to bake a cupcake to bring into school and enter our cupcake competition. Winners will be announced later but it's safe to say there were a lot of mucky faces at breaktime!

Pastoral care is so important to us. Our Wellbeing Club allows pupils to relax & focus on their emotional wellbeing. After an introduction to yoga, pupils have started work on their "I've got this!" posters, which are designed to boost resilience & self esteem.

Pupils have enjoyed a very inspiring morning thanks to Darren Challis and Sports for Schools. Darren ran a fun fitness circuit for all the children and motivated them to 'Dream it, believe it, achieve it!'

In Forest School this week, Pre-prep helped collect firewood for Autumn, completed some simple forest-care tasks & had a well-earned play on the pirate ship & rope swing. 

Our Nursery children have had a 'beary' good week. Using the story 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' they've explored mud & had to describe how it looks & feels, they've ordered teddies into size order and even been on a bear hunt in our forest. They've had such fun!

Excellent work in DT from Yr 3 this week. They've started designing and making their own slippers. Watch this space for their finished products - there may be a few surprises!

Very proud to announce that we are a finalist in the Independent School of the Year Awards 2020 in the Environmental Category. Excellent work from staff and pupils to make this happen.

A great start to Arts & Crafts Club. Our first session started with a nature walk around the beautiful grounds collecting treasures to create our own Autumnal collage.
