Vegetable Plants for Sale! As part of Middleton Open Gardens, taking place this weekend, we have a variety of vegetable plants available to purchase from school. All proceeds will go directly to the Children's School Council, helping them to support projects and initiatives around the school. There is an honesty box available for donations, so please give what you can. Thank you for your support and happy gardening!

The children have all enjoyed producing art themed on the story of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch which is on display in the church as part of the Middleton Open Gardens weekend. They have made fantastic collage, sewing, clay and watercolour work.

Middleton had a fantastic learning experience on their trip to Sizewell Visitor Centre with Yoxford and Southwold, where they learned all about electricity, friction, and nuclear power. The children built electrical circuits, completed experiments, used VR headsets, and took part in a scavenger hunt. It was an engaging and hands-on day that helped bring science to life.

In Science, the children have been learning about adaptation and how animals are suited to their environments. The children took part in a fun investigation where they used different tools as "beaks" to discover which type worked best for picking up different kinds of "seeds". They used tweezers, tongs, pegs and chopsticks to explore how birds' beaks are adapted for the food they eat. The children showed excellent teamwork and scientific thinking as they tested, compared and discussed their results.

In RSHE, the children have been learning all about sugar and making healthy choices. They estimated how much sugar was in a serving of different drinks before weighing out the actual amounts themselves. The children were shocked by some of the results and enjoyed discussing healthier alternatives to their favourite drinks!

Middleton Primary School parents, please take a look at some of our upcoming events.

This week in afterschool club, the children baked delicious wholemeal bread rolls! Each child got creative, moulding their roll into a shape of their choice. Well done, everyone you should be very proud of your hard work!

In After School Club this week, the children have been busy planting our hanging baskets in preparation for our entry into the 'Bloom Marvellous' competition! They had a great time getting hands-on with the soil and choosing the plants, and we're looking forward to seeing them grow and brighten up our outdoor space over the coming weeks. Well done everyone!

Spruce class is enjoying visiting Yoxford and taking part in shared Scout sessions. The children all worked well together to discuss how to keep our school grounds tidy and then demonstrated great teamwork when picking up litter. In Art, we have started a unit on drawing, and we enjoyed exploring different sketching pencils to find out how they can be used to create a range of effects.
