Blisland Primary – A Busy Few Weeks of Learning and Celebration

It’s been a fantastic few weeks here at Blisland Primary, full of learning, discovery, and some well-earned celebration!

The children at Storyteller’s Nursery enjoyed a fun and engaging celebration of World Bee Day. They learned about the important role bees play in pollination and the environment. Activities included reading bee-themed stories, creating bright and imaginative bee artwork with prints and making Queen Bee crowns with collage materials, and tasting honey on bead during snack time. The day encouraged curiosity, creativity, and thoughtful discussions about nature and looking after the planet.

In Nessa Class, pupils have now completed their history unit on the Anglo-Saxons, finishing with a fascinating look at Alfred the Great. The class explored why he is remembered as a significant figure in British history, considering his leadership, military successes, and contributions to education and law. Pupils have enjoyed diving into the past and developing a greater understanding of how the Anglo-Saxons shaped life in Britain.

Nessa Class have now moved on to their science topic: Animals Including Humans. So far, they’ve been learning about the human skeleton, understanding how it supports, protects, and enables movement. They’ve also begun exploring how food affects the body, learning about the importance of nutrition and how different food groups help our bodies function. The children have really engaged with the topic, and it’s been great to see them asking thoughtful questions and making links to their own lives.

A huge congratulations goes to our Year 6 pupils, who completed their SATs last week. They approached the tests with maturity and determination, and we’re incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made over the year. To celebrate the end of the tests, Year 6 enjoyed a lovely walk down the Camel Trail to the Snail’s Pace Café, where they tucked into ice cream and cake—a well-deserved treat after all their hard work!

Meanwhile, Kensa Class have been bringing their learning to life with an exciting visit to the Eden Project. The trip linked perfectly with their topic, "How Does Our Garden Grow?", giving pupils the chance to explore a wide variety of plant life and see real-world examples of how plants grow and survive in different environments. It was a brilliant day packed with hands-on learning, exploration, and fun.

With the arrival of sunny weather, we’ve also seen something truly special happening at playtimes. Pupils from both Nessa and Kensa Classes have been coming together to craft and create outdoors, making everything from nature-inspired art to paper creations. This shared time has created a lovely family atmosphere, where older and younger pupils support and inspire each other.

Well done to all our pupils for their enthusiasm, effort, and teamwork—it’s been another great chapter in a very exciting summer term!
