• EYFS have fun on the farm

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

  Both EYFS classes enjoyed busy mornings at the farm in Hoggeston this week.

  
  They explored the fields, following footprints to badger setts and found cattle, sheep, a crop of barley and even some goldfish!

  
  The children also saw some animals closer up - cows, pigs and a sheepdog!

  
  The children looked at the farm machinery and silage heap and also tried grinding their own flour which was very hard work!

   

  A fantastic morning on the farm.

  

• Mursley’s Perfect Poppies

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

  Well done to pupils and staff at Mursley who have produced some beautiful Poppies to commemorate Remembrance this November.

   

  Local villagers and members of the public have taken the time to comment on the display. As you can see from the lovely comments below and the images of the poppies, the pupils have done an amazing job!

   

  "If I went back in time over a hundred years and said to a World War 1 veteran that in our village school infants would still be commemorating the death of his mates, even in 2025, he would be astounded. The display on the school gates is beautiful."

  

• Bringing Stories to life for KS1

  Fri 14 Nov 2025

  On Monday 20th October, KS1 had the privilege of meeting Mariesa Dulak and Rebecca Cobb, the author and illustrator of ‘There’s a Tiger on the Train’, at The Stables in Wavendon. Whilst Mariesa read the story to the children, they learnt some actions for each of the characters, which culminated in a fantastic dance routine at the end of the morning! The children also saw Rebecca do a live illustration of a new character!

   

  In the afternoon we were lucky enough to have Mariesa deliver a workshop at Drayton Parslow. She read them another of her books - The Silver Shadow. She was keen to explain that it had been inspired by something that happened to her Dad when he was growing up in Barbados. The story and illustrations inspired a lot of discussion about the senses - what might be seen, heard, smelt etc at the seaside and what sea creatures might be found in a rock pool. The children then went onto drawing sea creatures and making their own little rock pools using crafting materials.

  
  Rebecca led the workshop at Mursley, where the children had another opportunity to see her illustrate some characters they invented on the spot. She read them another one of her books, A Wild Walk to School’ (which was inspired by her own children) and the children all illustrated a fantastic way they’d like to travel to school!).
  A truly enjoyable experience for all the children!
