  We had a fantastic time getting into the festive spirit this year.  Our celebrations included a delicious Christmas dinner, a visit from Santa himself, and plenty of fun at our Christmas disco.

It was a wonderful way to celebrate together and spread holiday cheer across the school!

  

• Jays visit to the De Havilland Museum

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  Jay’s class had an exciting and educational trip to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum. The children explored real aircraft cockpits and enjoyed pretending to be pilots, discovering what it would be like to fly a plane. They also practiced using Morse Code and learned how pilots communicated in the past. The class saw a wide range of planes and engines designed by Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, gaining a fascinating insight into the history of aviation. It was a memorable day that brought learning to life. 

  

• Woodpeckers go donutting!

  Fri 12 Dec 2025

  Woodpeckers had lots of fun donuttting at Gosling Sports Centre this Friday afternoon. We loved racing each other down the slopes, exploring fast and slow. We all had a go and loved going forwards, backwards, spinning and even making a class chain where we all went down together. We loved our first offsite visit as Woodpeckers. 

  

• The Nativity Story

  Tue 09 Dec 2025

  We were delighted to welcome Father Darren and Reverend Indira into school to help us explore the Nativity story in a fun and interactive way. Using costumes and props, they brought the characters and events to life, giving our pupils the chance to step into the story themselves. It was a wonderful experience that deepened our understanding of this special part of Christmas and created lasting memories for everyone involved.

• Panto came to Southfield

  Wed 03 Dec 2025

  This year, our pupils were whisked away to Neverland with a spectacular performance of Peter Pan. From daring adventures with Peter and Wendy to mischievous encounters with Captain Hook and his crew, the show was packed with laughter, music, and plenty of pantomime fun! A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this enchanting story to life – it truly was a performance to remember.

  We even manages to practise our Makaton signs related to Peter Pan.

  

• Swans class visit to the RAF museum

  Fri 28 Nov 2025

  Swan's class have been exploring the story 'Planes and Other Flying Machines' as part of their 'How things work' topic.

  Over the past couple of weeks we have learned about different flying vehicles, the sounds they make and focused on using key vocabulary from the story to match and describe. To consolidate our fantastic learning, we visited the RAF Museum! We looked for planes in our story, played with interactive resources and even walked through a Sunderland plane to see exactly how things work inside!

  Jays and Blackbird's classes went to visit St Etheldreda's church. On arrival, the children were warmly welcomed by Reverend Indira, a familiar face who visits Southfield School regularly. The children then went for a tour around the church. They were set the challenge of looking for different symbols within the windows, furniture and the building that we had learnt about in our RE learning in school, this included looking for crosses, hands and doves. The children asked lots of great questions, they learnt about why there are the different colours used within the church and got to try on some of the items that Reverend Indira and Father Darren wear during church services.
