MESSAGE FROM MRS COLLINS

Sandfield celebrate their success at District Sports!

58 medals won by the team!

A fantastic well done to our KS2 District Sports squad, who competed with such confidence at the District Sports competition at the Spectrum on Wednesday. I felt proud of each and every child as they gave it their all in every event that they participated in. Every child showed resilience and determination to do their best. We were the only one form entry school competing and the only school without a track to practice on. This means we have to work harder to succeed and this shows what is possible!

As a school we hired athletic tracks, so the children could be fully prepared and trained for their events. The team received expert coaching from our S4K team; Raven, Mohammad and Rachel. Many thanks to all the Sandfield staff who were absolutely amazing at supporting the training, living the dream and walking numerous times to both Stoke Park and the Cricket ground. We are all certainly fitter. Special thanks to those parents who also supported our team by accompanying us to the track.

Go Team Sandfield!

All best wishes

Mrs Collins and the Sandfield staff team

MESSAGE FROM THE ECO TEAM

As an Eco-Team, we have been working on a project to improve the flower bed in the car park.

We decided it needs to be an insect-friendly flower bed and we emailed lots of garden centres to ask for plant donations. As the Eco-Team, we researched which plants would be suitable and placed an order! Last week, we planted them and have used bark chippings to hopefully keep the weeds away.

It was such a brilliant project and we hope you like the end result! We have attached the before and after photos below.

NEWS FROM THE CLASSROOMS

RECEPTION CLASS

This week, Reception Class have continued their learning on ‘Under the Sea’.

The children have been writing about various sea creatures and they have also been very creative making ‘CD fish’!

In Maths, the children have been ordering sea animals from smallest to biggest and they’ve been measuring sea creatures using cubes. We’ve also been enjoying the sandpit and making mud cakes in the mud kitchen. What a busy week!

YEAR 1 & YEAR 2

This week, Year 1 and Year 2 have been learning about the life cycle of trees. We have used scientific language to describe each stage of the development, ready for our trip today!

Our trip to Wisley was amazing! We visited the vegetable garden to identify and discover edible plant parts and found more information about where our food comes from and where it is grown. We all had a fantastic time, the sun shone and the children were a real credit to the school. Thank you to all the parents that came along to help, we cannot do this without you.

YEAR 3 & YEAR 4

After a very busy week last week, Year 3 and Year 4 4 have really got stuck into our latest writing outcome, writing a newspaper report detailing Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The children had to decide whether they thought that the discovery brought with it a mysterious 3000-year old curse or if it was simply a coincidence.

Our Egyptian shadufs are well underway, this week the children measured and started cutting the wood for their structure, using their maths skills to work out how to get the most out of each length. We all look forward to these taking shape over the next couple of weeks.

YEAR 5 AND YEAR 6

Year 5 and Year 6 have experienced swimming in clothing this week as part of ‘Drowning Prevention Week’. The range of pyjamas and sports clothing that the children wore to swim in was impressive! The purpose of this is to educate children of the dangers of water and what they can do to keep themselves safe in and around the water. Year 6 have also been creating their fabric backdrops for the production. The artistry is really coming along and curtain-up is imminent!
