Year 1 had a glorious day at RHS Wisley yesterday to enrich their learning on plants. The children completed lots of activities including sketching plants, looking at different habitats in the wildlife garden, finding out about different uses for plants in the science centre & identifying fruit & vegetable plants in the glasshouse. They also had a well-earned play in the park after lots of walking! 

On Friday, Year 4 visited three sites on the River Wey as part of their topic on Rivers in Geography. They visited its source near Blackdown, a section of the river in Radford Park in Liphook & another section in Tilford. As well as investigating how the river changed as it flowed downstream, the children also carried out fieldwork, drawing field sketches, measuring the width, cross sectional depth & velocity of the river. They looked at the aquatic life, using species identicator sheets to draw conclusions on what they could tell us about the character & health of the aquatic environment. Excellent field work Year 4!

Fantastic start to the Summer term - friends back together and lots of sunshine!

The Easter Term always ends with an Easter Egg Hunt. Today, the children ran to find their eggs with even more urgency than usual as they were worried they were going to melt in the sun! We’ve never seen such diligent looking! Now we’ve seen how well the children can find things when they want to, we’re expecting an empty Lost Property next term Happy Easter everyone!

Wonderful to see such fabulous Easter bonnets at our Nursery Easter Bonnet Parade this morning! Such glorious colours and much needed hats for this beautiful weather! Happy Easter from The Ivies Nusery!

This is our Year 6 class who are celebrating a 70% success rate for scholarships and awards this year. The children gained their awards in a variety of disciplines, from Drama to Art to Cricket and Swimming to all rounded Academics and Maths, including a Top

Academic Scholarship to St Catherine’s in Bramley and an Honorary Head’s Award to King Edward’s Witley. The diversity of the scholarships reflect the breadth and depth of the education that we offer and the strength of character of our wonderful pupils.

Mrs Kay Goldsworthy, Our Head Teacher, said: “We are so proud of all our pupils who have done so well to gain places at their chosen senior schools and to have received so many scholarships is excellent. These accolades prove that our unique offering of small class sizes and specialist teaching ensure our pupils reach their potential in all areas of

school life, giving them an excellent grounding for senior school and beyond. They will thrive in their new schools and we wish them a really bright future.”

Year 1 visited Painshill Park on Monday. The children took part in a 'dragon quest' in the morning where they completed a series of nature based tasks and had fun exploring the park in the afternoon whilst thinking about different habitats. It was a lovely, sunny day and everyone had a fantastic time!

Year 6 have finished their Julian Opie self-portraits, simplifying themselves to essential lines and colour planes. This project has been inspiring and they have produced some fantastic work!

This morning The Ducks in our Nursery enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt around the grounds - lots of helping each other and counting to make sure they found all 20 eggs!

It was Movie Night yesterday afternoon. Judging by the amount of popcorn consumed, it’s fair to say everyone had a great time! Thanks to our parent body, the Friends of St Ives, for organising it.
