Year 5 and 6 pupils embarked on a fieldwork study this week to investigate the impact of noise pollution and litter in Abberley. Armed with data collection tally charts, Likert scales and voice recorders, the children gathered information from two separate village locations, one more populated than the other.

The study aimed to help children understand how environmental issues affect their community. Pupils recorded high noise levels near busy roads and found some evidence of litter in green spaces. Their findings will support children in answering the key question in their current geography unit: 'How is population change affecting our environment?'

Yesterday, the reading leaders enjoyed arranging books and bunting to launch our new outdoor reading sheds. At playtimes and lunchtimes, all children are able to have the opportunity to sit quietly and enjoy reading a book or choose to run around with their friends. I'm sure these new exciting places will help inspire some of our reluctant readers to start on their journey of reading for pleasure.
 

Thank you to the Friends for all the fundraising events you organised so we could purchase these reading sheds.  

A brilliant performance by our year 3 and 4 hockey players.

It's been a wonderful week at Abberley, filled with moments of pride and celebration. Our pupils have truly shone, demonstrating their commitment to learning and embodying our school values. I'm delighted to announce that several children have received Headteacher Awards, recognising how they have continued to support the new reception pupils to settle into school life as excellent buddies and role models. Our Happy Lunchtime Awards have also been presented, acknowledging those who contribute to a positive dining and playing experience for all.  Values Certificates have been awarded to pupils who have exemplified our core principles in their daily actions. These accolades not only celebrate individual successes but also inspire our entire school community to strive for excellence in all aspects of school life.

Reception enjoyed their first outdoor learning afternoon this week in our newly designed Forest School area. The site is still under development, but we are really excited about all the changes that are taking place. We are looking forward to having
