A big thank you to The Grove's PTA for funding new additions to our Year 3-6 class libraries! Each class will receive a set of inspiring, informative and educational fiction and non-fiction books based on a range of diversity and PSHE topics.

Year 6 had a fantastic morning with the Legal Eagles today - a group of local magistrates - where we explored the UK court system and acted out a mock court case. We were proud of the children's fantastic respect and thoughtful questions.

The Groverneers visited Willow Court today as part of an inter-generational project to learn about others in our community. The children spent time getting to know the residents, learning about their lives and playing some games with them. Thank you Willow Court for having us!

Well done to the Year 4/5 girls football team today in their friendlies against Harpenden Academy. Great teamwork!

Second friendly of the week for the Year 4-5 Girls football team and another two victories. Well done everyone involved!

Year 3 had a wonderful Geography field trip to the local Coop in Southdown this week. They researched the fruits and vegetables to see how far they had travelled. Thank you Steve and Quinton from the Coop for letting us have a tour, especially of the big fridge at the back!

Wow! What an amazing group of children! The Groverneers have raised £4,296 for Make-A-Wish UK . They worked collectively to run sponsored events and have helped make a positive difference for children in the UK and their families. We are super proud of you all! Well done!

In DT in Year 3, we've had salad coming out of our ears! We've taste-tested, designed and honed our safe chopping skills. This all culminated in very successful salads which looked and tasted fantastic. Well done Year 3!

We have been awarded the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year!

Year 4 had a fantastic geography field trip to Batford Springs and the River Lea this morning! They partipated in a variety of activities including temperature and depth of water,width of the river, looking at wildlife and plants as well as any architecture alongside!

Here are some of our gardeners in action planting up vegetables ready to be harvested in time for Christmas dinner- yes we are talking about Christmas in July! Thank you to our great parents for facilitating the amazing sessions this year and to the PTA for funding the resources.

Three games... three wins! Great start to the league for the Year 5/6 girls football team! Well done to everyone involved, they all played brilliantly. Thank you to all the schools that came to play in the sunshine!

Y6 Acer have been learning the first 11 bars of Pachelbel's Canon in D. The children have learnt the parts in the treble and bass clef and then put it together to perform as a pair and then as a class - amazing achievement in just two lessons with Katie Metcalfe.

Rain or shine…we come for adventure! Day 1 complete at Mill on the Brue 😃

More group pics from Day 1!
