Published 20/03/26This week has been RE week across the whole school and in Year 1 and 2 we have been finding out about ‘Who lives in our community?’
We began by thinking about what makes Swavesey special to us. We talked about how we enjoy being part of groups such as Rainbows and Beavers. We then thought about the faith communities in Swavesey.
We visited St Andrew’s church and met Reverend Stephen Dove. He showed us around the church and shared a story from The Bible. He told us about how the church supports the community. We enjoyed making our own stained glass windows
We also learnt about the Muslim community in Swavesey and Cambridge. Mrs Nadia talked to us about Ramadan and the festival of Eid. She also shared her photographs of the Cambridge Mosque and spoke about the important roles it plays for Muslims.
We have been really proud of how thoughtful, inquisitive and respectful the children have been.
Well done Year 1 and 2..jpeg)

Published 19/03/26We enjoyed welcoming back Mrs Norden for the grand opening of the Environmental Area. It was lovely sharing time with her in nature. Once the ribbon had been cut, we gave a loud cheer and then were eager to explore nature through a treasure hunt, trying to find the location of plants by matching photos. Here are some of our highlights:
‘I enjoyed my visit to the environment area. I especially liked working with a partner exploring nature.’ Olivia
‘It was nice seeing Mrs Norden open the wildlife area and then I enjoyed exploring.’ Sophie
‘I liked the treasure hunt where we had to match photos of plants to real life plants.’ Poppy
‘It was fun seeing nature such as the trees, flowers and bugs.’ Grayson
‘I liked sketching pictures of trees, leaves and plants.’ Buzzy.
‘I enjoyed working with my partner matching the photos.’ Hasandi
‘I am really happy that the environment area is now open and that I could wander around looking at nature.’ Callum
‘It was fun looking at the detail on the bark of the trees and finding bugs under the logs.’ Joe
As part of Science Week we also learnt about a local scientist, Elsie Widdowson who lived in Barrington near Cambridge, for 60 years. Elsie was a pioneering nutrition scientist who helped to develop war time rations. We were curious to find out more about war rations and how people managed to stay fit and healthy during the war despite being on a rationed diet. The fun fact we learnt was that rationing made those growing up in the war cut out rich, sugary and fatty foods, which had a positive impact on their growing brains. Perhaps we should be more curious and try eating less sugar to see if it makes our brains grow?
We have also been curious about the future and have explored the role of AI. We discussed whether all human activity and thinking could be replaced by a robot. What do you think? We thought about the risks involved in machine learning jobs as opposed to how robots can be useful and enhance our lives. We sorted machine-based jobs and ranked them as to how much we’d trust them doing the job. Would you trust a robot?

Published 13/03/26We have had a wonderful time celebrating World Book Day this week.
We tested our ‘book smart knowledge’ in quizzes; it is amazing how many book characters we know! Swallows Class got a shout out online for doing so well in the quiz 😊
KS1 planned to join an online session with the author and illustrator Marta Altes although unfortunately this has had to be rescheduled due to technical difficulties. KS2 learnt about author Kwame Alexander’s life and participated in a fun online ‘Writing Poetry Couplets’ workshop.
The highlight of our week was Book Day itself when pupils and teachers dressed up as characters from books including strange looking creatures, wizards, robots and cowboys to name a few. We marvelled at each other’s costumes during our parade in the playground. Jonty Gentoo the penguin visited school and caused a great stir in the playground too, thanks to Mr Thomson.
We also enjoyed sharing story books with children across the year groups. It was lovely to see the engagement and joy on younger children’s faces as the older children shared books with them, some written by themselves!
Please look out for your child’s £1 book token which should have been sent home this week and continue to share our love of reading!

Published 04/02/26Year 3 and 4 have produced some wonderful work this term, combining story telling with an exciting journey into history.
The children learnt about the Iron Age discovering what daily life may have been like and how people showed resilience and strength to survive. They produced wonderful non-chronological reports sharing their learning and thinking carefully about how to captivate their audience.
They also read the Iron Man by Ted Hughes with their class and learnt about the themes of friendship, courage and strength.
We hope you enjoy looking at some of our fabulous work. Well done to all the pupils for such a fantastic effort, we are incredibly proud of them!
