We have been greeted with a beautiful sunrise here on the Norfolk coast as the children prepare for the final day of the residential (and Year 6).  We will be departing Kingswood at approximately 1:15pm later today and will notify parents of our arrival time via School Gateway.

Year 6 have made it safely to Norfolk, dropped their bags and are heading for a quick walk by the coast.

The KS2 children took part in a water obstacle course today with Sgt MAC and his team. The children worked in teams to complete the course and see who could get the most water back for their team.

Great fun was had by all.

KS1 supersoak day will be tomorrow!

This week, 38 children spent 3 nights in the yurt villages at the Caldecotte Xperience. The children demonstrated incredible independence skills, overcame fears and tried new challenges which were physically, emotionally and intellectually demanding. Everyone worked together, encouraged each other and looked after one another. All of the adults who attended were incredibly proud of this amazing bunch of children and felt privileged to spend this time getting to know them better - what a cracking (and tiring) week!

Don't forget - the parents' assembly, where you can find out more about what we did and see more of our incredible photos and videos, is on Thursday 19th July at 9:15am.​

Year 5 have been being creative with clay with Andy who comes in for Pottery sessions. Using different tools and techniques the children have made models of volcanoes and river animals. They look amazing! Here is just some of our artwork.

Last night, Taiba, Liam, Zavier and Alfie attended the shortlisting preview evening for MK Gallery Architect 2018. The Event was held in the project space opposite the main gallery building. After getting a chance to see our model in the exhibition, we listened with anticipation to find out the winners from this year's competition. I am extremely pleased and proud to announce that Great Linford Primary received the Highly Commended award for our category 7-10 years!! (This meant we were the top in our category!)

Over 260 entries were submitted with only 90 being shortlisted, so we are extremely proud of the children for all their hard work and commitment. The gallery is hoping to come and do a special assembly in the next few weeks to celebrate and present the children with certificates and goody bags. 

You can go and see their work 'MK Waves' in the MK Gallery project space until 28th July! The project space is opposite the main gallery building near the MK Theatre. Go and check out their creation!

Well Done Taiba, Liam, Zavier and Alfie!
