Friday 18 July 2025 'Wicked' Performances in the Wizard of Oz! Congratulations to all of our children in Year 5 & 6, along with a fabulous four from Year 4, who performed superbly over the last two evening at the Sandpit Theatre. The children really brought the Wizard of Oz to life with their animated performances and beautiful singing. The main characters were all amazing, and backed up by an incredible group of munchkins, winged monkeys, guards, mice... and even mushrooms? (Or was it toadstools!)

Wednesday 16 July 2025 Year 2's Whipsnade Poems! Following our fantastic trip to Whipsnade, the children were tasked with creating simile poems to describe the animals they saw. As we have been learning how to use the possessive apostrophe, they were encouraged to include this in their writing, along with interesting adjectives to bring their poems to life!

Sunday 6 July 2025 Summer Fair Success! Our Skyswood Summer Fair was as successful as ever, with a fantastic turn out and just a couple of short showers over the course of the afternoon that certainly didn't dampen our spirits. Our children and families enjoyed the class stalls (based on this year's theme of Fabulous Films) along with the Bucking Bronco, Bouncy castle, Tombola, face painting and so much more! A real highlight was the Showtime Circus (linked to the Year 6 film theme of The Greatest Showman). Several children tried out a whole range of new skills and it proved to be a key attraction. The music played, Beatz Dance performed some fabulous routines, and the fun continued long into the evening. A number of children came in fancy dress and congratulations must go to all those who entered the Fabulous Film Cake Competition or the Make a Minion Competition. A big thank you to all of those parents (and children) who helped to set up, run the stalls, and clear up on the Sunday. It was a wonderful day and is always such

Friday 4 July 2025 Stars of the week- Week ending Friday 4th July We were delighted this week to have our Stars of the Week certificates for reception up to Year 5 presented by two former Skyswood pupils, Sam and Lexi. We are incredibly proud of these two former students who are in the sixth form at Sandringham and have proudly represented the school as Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl over the course of the year. We are equally proud that another two former Skyswood pupils, Natalie and Eliana, have been made Head Girl and Deputy Head girl for next year. There was not a Year 6 certificate this week as the Year 6 pupils were out at a Dance Festival and a Gaelic Football tournament.
