Year 6 children are having a fabulous end to their time at Chesterfield by spending time together with their friends on their end-of-term trips. Recently, they have been bowling and to a trampoline park, cementing friendships and creating wonderful memories.

To celebrate World Music Day, the whole school dressed in their summer and festival outfits and took part in our World Music Day celebration in the school playground. The children enjoyed singing together, took part in a music quiz and enjoyed learning some new dance moves! A huge thank you to Magda for organising such a special event!

Children from Year 2 Anning Class had a lovely day exploring the Wetlands in Walthamstow as part of their learning in science. They explored the different habitats in the nature reserve and spotted birds and animals.

This week, our highly anticipated Intrasports event ignited a passion for physical activity and boosted the health and wellbeing across all year groups! Children embraced the opportunity to engage in a diverse carousel of sports, fostering both individual skill and team spirit. Divided into distinct colour-coded teams, pupils enthusiastically participated in a wide array of activities including the strategic aim of curling, the athletic launch of javelin, dynamic football skills drills, and many other exciting challenges. It was a wonderful display of teamwork, effort, and the joy of movement, all contributing to a healthy and active school community!

Here at Chesterfield, we were thrilled to participate in National Numeracy Day on May 21st, joining schools across the country in celebrating the power and importance of numbers! This year's theme, focusing on money, provided a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to connect their learning with real-world financial understanding.

Packham and Thunberg classes had a fantastic real-world learning experience with a special visit to the Silver Service Cafe! The children were brilliant, learning all about the practical ins and outs of ordering and paying for food in a cafe setting. We all thoroughly enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate and buttered toast, and we were so impressed by their impeccable manners throughout the visit. Building on this practical outing, back at school, the children then took charge! As part of our Maths Day celebration, they brilliantly designed, set up, and ran their very own cafe, applying their new understanding of transactions and customer service in a fun and engaging way.
