On Tuesday 30th April Reception had a brilliant time at Whipsnade Zoo as part of their Animals and Life Cycles topic. The sun was shining and the children were as good as gold!  The children saw lots of different animals and had fun exploring the zoo. 

At lunch time everyone enjoyed a lovely picnic followed by a much anticipated play on the big playground. The children also had the opportunity to meet Danielle the Zoo Keeper who taught them all about the life cycle of a butterfly and some even had the chance to dress up too. 

Children returned to school happy but tired after such an exciting day.  Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day and made the day so memorable for our Reception children.

On Wednesday 3rd April the whole school got busy planning, designing and evaluating their brilliant creations for Design Technology Day. 

In each year group children used various skills to produce their masterpieces and we saw some amazing work throughout the school. 

Children got involved with cooking, painting, modelling using clay, biscuit decorating, block printing and much more!

To celebrate Mother's Day in Nursery we invited all mums, grandmas and aunties to join their children in a fun planting activity.  The sun was out and all our children in Nursery enjoyed watering and planting various seeds and plants with their loved ones.  We look forward to seeing them grow in the Summer months.

We also had various arts and crafts in both Nursery and Reception which everyone enjoyed taking part in.  Thank you to everyone who attended.

As you will be aware, we have been working very closely with Heathrow Airport over the last two years and their staff generously give their time on a weekly basis to come in to school and listen to children read.

Recently, we made a successful bid through their  grant programme, Heathrow Community Fund, for exciting new books for our classroom reading corners. Sarah Pickard and Ginette Grant from Heathrow visited our Key Stage 2 assembly to present the books to the children where they shared their own favourite childhood books with us.

William Byrd celebrated Red Nose Day and dressed up in red to raise money for Comic Relief.  Children and staff proudly wore their red noses and head bands and we managed to raise lots of money for a fantastic cause.

Thank you to everyone for your contributions and continuous support.

We were invited to take part in a dance festival at Barnhill Community High. This was a great celebration of dance with performances from primary schools across the borough, focusing on the theme of British Values.  

Years 5 and 6 worked extremely hard to learn their street dance choreography and performed their routine successfully.  A big thank you and well done to Ms O’Connell and everyone involved.
