In Art this term, Year 1 and Year 2 have been exploring the work of the artist L.S. Lowry and his distinctive style. Year 1 have finished creating their big artwork inspired by Lowry’s Coming Home from the Mill (1928), made from all their different paintings of buildings and figures.

Next week, Year 2 will be completing their own version, and we can’t wait to share it with you! We are so proud of all the children, they have shown such creativity and talent in their art this term.

PE days for Year 1 & Year 2 are on Mondays and Wednesdays

As part of their R.E unit on Christianity, Year 3 and 4 walked to Holy Trinity Church on Monday for a special visit to learn all about what God promised his people. The children discovered that a covenant is a promise or agreement and thought about when people make important promises in their lives. They became very creative decorating a footprints poem and discovered what promises God made with Moses and Noah in the Old Testament. The children behaved excellently and really enjoyed their experience.

PE days for Year 3 & Year 4 are Tuesdays & Thursdays

This week, Reception explored our topic of 'how we've grown'.  We started with Guess the Baby, a fun activity where children guessed who was who from baby photos!

We were also lucky to have a special visit from two sibling babies, aged 4 and 7 months, which absolutely captivated the class. The children then reflected on all the things they can do now at age 4 that they couldn’t as babies, and celebrated how much they’ve grown!

PE day for Reception Class is on Mondays

Year 6 Ambassadors

We were delighted to introduce our new Year 6 Ambassadors during today’s celebration assembly. These pupils have been chosen for consistently demonstrating our school values of being ready, respectful, and safe.

As ambassadors, they take on a leadership role within the school community. They will represent the school during Open Days, speaking to prospective parents about life at our school and leading guided tours with confidence and pride.

We are incredibly proud of this team and look forward to seeing them grow and thrive in their new roles.

Harvest Donations

We received a lovely message from the Guildford Food Bank on Monday.

"We received a very generous Harvest donation from your school this morning & I wanted to express our thanks for your school community's generosity.

We are very thankful for your support, in a time of growing need, your donation is really appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Stacey, Guildford Food Bank

Message from Mrs Howard, Art Lead - Optional Home Art Learning Task

With half-term fast approaching, children in all year groups are invited to take part in an optional home learning activity. We encourage them to go on a nature walk and forage for natural materials, such as leaves, twigs, stones or feathers, to create a sculpture or piece of artwork. This is an opportunity to engage with the outdoors and express creativity using found objects.  Further instructions can be found in the attached slides with some examples of artists who work with nature. Please feel free to email photos of your child’s artwork to parents@sandfield.surrey.sch.uk, including your child's name and class in the subject, by Monday 10th November so we can celebrate the great outdoors.  We look forward to seeing their creations!

Sports News

We are hosting a friendly netball tournament tonight at Sandfield on our new courts! Further news will follow next week.

In Computing, we have explored the power of spreadsheets. Children entered data, applied formulas like SUM and AVERAGE to perform calculations and brought their findings to life by creating colourful graphs, all in the blink of an eye!  Next lesson we will be looking at rations from WW2 and entering data linked on that theme and using formula to quickly calculate costs for a family of four.

PE days for Year 5 & Year 6 are Thursdays and Fridays
