On Wednesday the 12th July, we were very excited to hold a Federation Summer Fayre! In each schol, there were a range of different activities and stalls to complete. The children were able to complete activities such as hook a duck, pin the tail on the donkey and browse through amazing book stalls! The event was incredibly well attended and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who visited!
We are looking forward to the next fayre!
On Friday 10th June, the children in Year 2 had a fantastic opportunity to visit Marwell Zoo. They travelled on the coach and then had a brilliant day exploring all of the animals. Whilst they were there, they discussed the animals they saw and their key features. The children had a wonderful time and they were fantastic representatives for the school. They were polite and respectful to all those on the visit and all of the adults were very proud to take them to Marwell.
On Thursday 11th May, Year 1 were incredibly lucky to have a visit from the local police force. The visit included PCSOs and Policemen. The visit linked to the PSHE topic for this term and the children were able to see people who help us in real life. During the visit, the children were able to listen to stories about the police and people they can trust. They were also given the opportunity to see a Police car and were able to listen to the siren - it was very exciting!
On Friday 5th May, the whole of Clarendon Infants School celebrated the coronation of King Charles. The day was full of exciting activities such as crown making, King Charles collage and flag making. The children were able to wear their own party clothes and join in the party! We also had a brilliant street party style picnic with the whole school. All the children were able to participate and it had a wonderful party atmosphere!
On Thursday 30th March, the children were treated to a fantastic concert. The children were able to sing a variety of songs from a variety of genres. All the songs followed the same theme of Easter and different actions to remember these. The children then finished with their favourite song about a spring chicken! It was a very exciting concert!
Happy Easter everyone!
In the last week of Spring 2, the children on Year 2 went on a visit to the local church. They walked sensibly with their teachers to Holy Trinity Church. When they arrived at the church, they were able to look at its features and discuss these with the local reverend. The local reverend discussed Easter with the children and why it is important for Christians to celebrate. They went on an interactive exploration of the Easter Story and completed different activities for each part. The children were respectful in the church and they were fantastic representatives for the school.
The children in Year 2 were able to participate in a Song Workshop with Louise Jordan. During the workshop, they had the opportunity to listen to a range of songs and discussed what elements of music, e.g. rhythm and vocals, which they liked and disliked. The children then expressed themselves with how the music made them feel using their bodies and a range of instruments. They had great fun and can’t wait to hear the song that Louise will put together once visiting others school as a result of their collective workshops!
On Friday 3rd March, the children were visited by the West End in Schools company. The children were able to create and participate in a dance linked to 'How to Catch a Star' by Oliver Jeffers. Throughout the workshop the children moved in different ways and learnt how to change characters quickly. They were then able to work with the workshop lead to create a final performance. The children really enjoyed the workshop!
On Thursday 2nd March, the children joined in with World Book Day. Each class got to explore a different book for the day and complete activities linked to this. They were able to create a door display as a class to inspire other children to read the book. All the children also came in dressed as their favourite book character for the day and all of the children had a brilliant day! Throughout the day, the children had a book character parade and read different stories. It was a fantastic day!

“Neil Armstrong” came to visit
As part of our history topic for this term – The First Moon Landing, we had someone come to visit us pretending to be Neil Armstrong. He told us lots of information about space and the Apollo 11 mission. He knew so much and answered all the questions we had. He taught us about all the different kinds of space craft and we had to work in a team to recreate the space craft, using our bodies. We learnt so much and had a really great time!
