This morning we had our first Reception Readiness session for our Ducks in Nursery and the new children who’ll be joining us in Reception in September. Everyone loved being with Miss Tapp & finding out what life will be like in Reception. They loved exploring the classroom, both inside and out! These sessions will be taking place every Thursday until the end of term to ensure the transition from Nursery to ‘big school’  for all new children goes as smoothly as possible.

Well done to Blue House for organising an environmental morning today for World Environment Day. The whole school, from Nursery to Year 6 took part in a litter pick around the school grounds, they then made planters using recycled pots, compost and seeds and finished the morning appreciating nature through Art. Teaching our children about the environment and how to play your part in protecting it is part of our role as a Green Flag School.

Well, that was a huge success! Well done Year 6 for putting together such a fabulous lunch - delicious food, great conversation and beautifully hosted! Thanks so much to all our guests for coming and to Mrs Lipscombe and Mrs Owen for guiding the children.

Our Year 6 pupils are very busy today preparing for a luncheon for some very special guests. They’ve planned the guest list and menu, sent out invitations and collated replies, been shopping for the ingredients, have arranged flowers for the tables and are now carefully following their recipes whilst preparing the food. There is a huge buzz in the kitchen and dining room - a mixture of nerves and excitement. They can’t wait to host their guests later - Heads & senior management from their senior schools, our Governors, the Mayor of Haslemere, the Royal Society of St George and our parent body.

A sneak peek at the new Nursery area that’s waiting for the children’s return on Monday. Doesn’t it look fabulous?! Of course, it won’t be complete until there’s lots of little people playing on it! We can’t wait to watch them having hours of fun on it in the last half of term. Have a fabulous bank holiday weekend everyone & we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Inspired by Chelsea Flower Show, we’ve been planting flowers in red, white & blue this afternoon!

That’s a wrap for our Jubilee Party and the first half of term. Have a fantastic break everybody and we look forward to seeing you again on 6th June.

We’re going Jubilee-tastic at St Ives today! Our Nursery children have come in fit for a queen & looking fabulous! They can’t wait for their Jubilee party later.

Her Majesty the Queen & her family joined us for a BBQ lunch today!

Year 2 enjoyed a lovely (if wet!) trip to the Queen Elizabeth Country Park in the South Downs today, to support their work on national parks. They climbed Butser Hill in record time & found some fascinating creatures while pond dipping.
