VE Day Celebrations

On Thursday 8 May, children celebrated the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE Day). They took part in a variety of fun and engaging activities that brought history to life! Nursery children got to make jam sandwiches for their own tea party, reception children made butter from scratch for their tea party sandwiches as well as making spitfire planes using toilet rolls while year 1 & year 2 made their own medals and spitfire planes as well as enjoying a tea party of course! We also joined forces with the junior school for a fabulous sing song of 'We'll Meet Again', 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and 'I can see a Rainbow'. A special well done to our nursery children who bravely sang in front of year 4 and year 6 children! The whole day was a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore the significance of VE Day in an interactive and memorable way, enriching their sense of community and appreciation for history.

Maths Day 2025

Our Maths Day today was a fantastic celebration of the many ways maths is present in our everyday lives. From the beauty of art and nature to the puzzles we solve, maths truly is everywhere. Throughout the morning, children and parents engaged in a variety of fun and interactive activities that showcased the usefulness of maths skills. Before the event, we asked the children what they loved most about maths, and their responses inspired the day's activities. It was a day filled with learning, creativity, and a lot of fun – reminding us all just how essential and exciting maths can be! A huge thank you to all the parents who came along and for the really positive feedback.

Lunar New Year 2025 Celebrations

A big thank you to everyone who came into school to help us celebrate the Lunar New year. It was lovely to see so many parents in class enjoying the activities with the children.

Science Day 2025

Today was our annual Science Day. We loved seeing the children dressed as scientists and wearing science themed tops, and it was great to see our staff taking part too! Thank you to all the parents who joined us this morning to take part in different science activities including a STEM investigation to discover the strongest shape. A special thank you to all the parents who shared their science related jobs and hobbies.

This year the children from Nursery to Y6 took part in a whole school science experiment called Rocket Mice. The children in Nursery and Reception investigated which container would shoot the mouse the highest and KS1 investigated which material (mouse) would travel the furthest. The children developed their science vocabulary and made simple predictions. They also learnt how to make the test fair. In Y2, the children recorded their results on a block graph. In the afternoon, classes across the Infant and Junior schools buddied up to compare their results.

Thank you for all the lovely feedback about the day!

World Wildlife Fund Week

The children have been so busy this week campaigning for which animal they would like to adopt this year through the WWF. They have made brilliant posters and will be voting for their chosen animal soon!

We would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated their loose change to the Copper Mile on Thursday. Over the next few weeks, Eco Council children will help to count the coins and the total amount will be donated to the WWF.

Every class took it in turns to come out to the playground to lay down their coins for the Copper Mile!

School Council Meet the King!

What an exciting week it has been for New Malden with King Charles visiting our lovely community! Our lucky school council children went to the high street on Wednesday and got a front row position for when the King arrived! The King was so friendly and seemed happy to chat with the children, asking them whether they preferred maths or English at school! The children were so polite and confident and even made the King laugh! 
Prior to the visit, school council got together to write the King a letter telling him all about our wonderful school and, what they think makes us special. When they finally met the King they handed over the letter and we are really hoping he reads it and maybe even sends a reply. 
We are so proud of the children; they behaved so beautifully and waited for the King with patience and good humour despite the pouring rain. One of the children commented that it was his dream to meet the King and that his dream had come true! It was a wonderful afternoon all round. We feel so proud that King Charles got to see our local community and it’s diverse cultures and that our children were able to be part of the experience. We hope it will be a day they remember for years to come!

King Charles III Coronation Celebrations

A big thank you to everyone who came to the Coronation picnic on Friday afternoon. Despite the rain, it was a great turn out and we hoped you enjoyed it. 

It was lovely to see all the children dressed up and enjoying the days activities. We had so many entries for the wooden spoon competition and were so impressed by the effort everyone made to decorate their spoon. What creative children we have! 

A huge thank you to everyone who made or bought cakes for the cake sale. We received some truly fabulous showstopper bakes from both adults and children. Mrs Rathod who is also one of our school governors was the official judge and she found it very tricky choosing the winners as they were all brilliant!

Year 2 Trip to London Wetland Centre

Our Year 2 children had a lovely day yesterday at the London Wetland Centre. They spotted lots of different species of bird as well as other wildlife to complement the learning they have been doing in class this half term. The children and staff had a great time and we were so proud to hear that the organisers at the centre had commented on what a delight our children were and that we were one of the best school groups they have had visiting the centre. Well done Year 2!

Time Capsule Project

The children have taken part in a whole school project to reflect on their collective positive experiences of lockdown. Each child has recorded a positive memory and/or experience of something that they did with their family over the lockdown period. Each class produced a booklet of special experiences, with these being carefully rolled and placed inside a time capsule. The capsule was then sealed and buried outside the Year 2 classrooms. This area was chosen as the majority of the children pass by at some time through the course of the day.

The recorded memories included ​cooking meals together, playing games with their brothers and sisters, going for lovely walks, climbing trees, playing football, playing in the garden and eating ice-cream! A special memory for some children was having lots of hugs with their mummies and daddies and celebrating birthdays.

The children have been very busy this week doing some amazing artwork on the theme of Remembrance Day. Today, we gave a special assembly to explain to the children why we remember this very important day. A big thank you for all your donations for the Poppy Appeal.

Year 2 DT Day

Year 2 had a really fun and successful DT day on Tuesday 15 October. The children learnt many new skills, including sawing and hammering which helped them to build their bug hotels. Many thanks to the parents who helped out in class and for all the resources provided.
