Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2025-26.

• Take a box...

  Wed 08 May 2013
  At school today the children  were each given a removal box and tasked to turn it into anything they liked. They could be as creative as they liked, and use whatever resources they could find to make their box into something interesting. Year 5 and 6 were also asked to produce a piece of written work to accompany their box construction. 
  
  After much discussion and a few false starts, we are the proud owners of, amongst other things: a puppet theatre, a flying car, a tortoise, a toy garage and a pram. Some of the constructions even have electric lights!
  
  Well done to all the children for letting their imaginations run wild and for producing some superb work!
  
  Watch this space for some more photos!

• Class 3 work to be displayed in London Museum!

  Mon 15 Apr 2013
  Before Christmas, Class 3 were invited to take part in a project with the MRC (Medical Research Council) which could result in our work being on display in London. 
  
  Brona McVittie, who worked with Exton four years ago on the Professor Corkbot animation project, returned to Exton to talk to class 3 about the history of medical research, and medical discoveries using a cartoon book as a basis.
  
  We were then invited to think about how we would like to see medical research develop over the next 100 years and find a creative way of presenting it.
  
  Weeks later, after some thought, a mobile was created entitled 'Cure for All' containing the children's ideas for how to create a healthy, disease free world in the future. From miracle soap to robots, the creative ideas were amazing! 
  
  After sending off a picture of the mobile, plus copies of the children's 'write-ups' to explain how each invention on the mobile would work, all went quiet!
  
  However, we have recently received an email asking that Class 3's work be included in the exhibition this Summer! Further details of when and where to follow.

• Sport-tastic!

  Sun 24 Feb 2013
  There are lots of activities and opportunities for KS2 in Sport this term.
   
  The Quicksticks hockey Tournament is now taking place on Wednesday 20th February.
  
  Cross Country competition has been rearranged for Saturday 23rd February.
  
  Our year 5/6 are practising for their Netball Competition on 21st March, and, even in the snow, some of our KS2 children have been out practising for the county Cross Country competition at the beginning of February. Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Richardson for supporting Mrs Whitehead in training up our distance runners. 
  
  In PE lessons KS2 are working with Sarah Bell, a local dance teacher, to create their own 'Space' themed dance for the annual Spotlight Dance Showcase in Uppingham. So far they have been looking at different dance moves to represent getting astronauts into space, and have even been practising their moonwalking!
  
  We are also lucky enough to have a visiting sports coach on a Thursday morning, who is developing the children's skills and sporting stamina.
  
  Make sure your PE kit is in school all week so that you don't miss out!
