Today we wished our wonderful Mrs Lambert a very happy retirement. Mrs Lambert has spent a remarkable 40 years as Cavalry school's crossing patrol officer and 38 years as a midday supervisor/cleaner at Cavalry. She will be sorely missed by the Cavalry pupils, families and staff.

🎶 Hi, we're glad you're here...🎶

Thank you to all the families who came to see Reception's Twinkly Nativity!

The Reception team are very proud of the children for their singing and remembering their stage directions, their big talking voices and their lines.

The children then investigated how the fire started, how people tried to put it out, and why it spread so far. We became archaeologists and explored the remains of different buildings to discover who worked or lived there, using the artefacts as clues. We had such a fun day!

Today Year 1 travelled back in time to 1666, and discovered what it would be like to have lived in the time of the Great Fire of London. First, we found out what types of jobs people did in the past, and tried our hand at these traditional skills. @ElliotFndtn

As they watched the bees coming to collect the nectar, on child told us that "bees collect nectar and turn it in to honey" and her friend added "you can put honey on toast but my favourite is in smoothies!".
How tall is your tallest plant? Is it taller than Mrs Mann?

Back in spring, Nursery planted some little sunflower seeds in the garden. Fast forward to September and look how they've grown!
The Nursery and Reception children have been amazed looking up at the sunflowers this week!

A big "well done" to our Reception pupils for a fabulous first day of school today!
They were confident, enthusiastic, inquisitive and friendly. It felt like they'd been here for ages! What a positive start to their education, we can't wait for tomorrow!
