Queen's Jubilee

This week marked the celebration of the Queen's Jubilee at Upton Cross! We spent the week learning all about the Commonwealth and about the Queen's role over the past 70 years. We ended the week with a celebration fit for a queen where we decorated cupcakes, performed dances from the commonwealth countries and sang the National Anthem. An Upton Cross time capsule was buried in a secure location, ready to be opened in years to come. If that wasn't enough, we even planted an Elizabeth Rose Bush to commemorate the day. You just couldn't get us to stop partying!

Here are some more pictures of how we celebrated the day!

A big well done to all our Year 2 pupils who completed their Key Stage One Sats last week. They were incredibly focussed and did themselves and their teachers proud.

A big thank you to all the teachers and support staff who have worked so hard with the pupils this year.

Kingswood Trip

This week, some of our Year 5 and 6 children went on a residential visit to Kingswood. They took part in a range of exciting activities including, ziplining, climbing jungle vines, roller disco and raft building. The trip was enjoyed immensely by all, despite unpredictable weather at times! We were impressed by the huge amount of teamwork, resilience and independence our children showed.

We are extremely proud of the maturity, comradery and determination our children demonstrated during their stay at Kingswood. Not only in the way they attacked the activities but in the support they provided one another when getting ready for the day, showering and at night when sleeping in unique cabin accommodation.

Year 6 Cinema Trip

On Tuesday 24th May, Year 6 children at Upton Cross had an exciting visit to Stratford Picture House. For many children it was their first ever experience at the Cinema! Therefore, we are delighted that they had a memory to last forever. 

The children watched the new Hollywood animation film "The Bad Guys" and they thoroughly enjoyed it, along with some movie snacks too.

Edible Garden

Last week we opened our new Edible Garden at Orwell. The Eco Warriors helped while Mrs Moore cut the ribbon. Come and see how our growing is going!
