Mrs Wegrzyn, our Reception Leader, was recently featured in this month's Practice magazine, discussing the topic of woodwork at William Byrd. We are incredibly fortunate to have her at our school and are immensely proud of the valuable contributions she has made to both the school and the early years program.

Year 2 has been learning about still life in Art. They have been inspired by the artist Paul Cezanne and his artwork.
Year 2 had an amazing time visiting Odds Farm Park. They got to see many different animals, feed and pet the goats, watch the pigs, say hello to the chickens, and enjoy the views of the farm from a magnificent but bumpy tractor ride. The children also got to meet the cows up close and personal, while also meeting the new 4-week-old calves. We had the most beautiful weather. After lunch, it was time to cool down in the water splash area and enjoy the AC in the indoor soft play area!
The time has finally arrived for us to celebrate the incredible work of our Year 1 to 6 children!
The Reception children had an amazing time participating in a trip to Ruislip Lido. The children took part in a workshop at the Lido Woodland Centre where they learnt how to recognise common trees and different minibeasts. They searched for different insects under logs and tree stumps and watched them race.
A huge thank you to all the parents of nursery children (from this year and last year) for their voluntary contributions towards the purchase of a new shed that we have transformed into a sand pit! We introduced it to the children last week, and they absolutely love playing in it. It's amazing to overhear the beautiful conversations the children have while they're having fun pretending to be at the beach.
Year 5 went to the Cuffley Activity Learning Centre from Monday 17 June to Wednesday 19 June. During the trip, the children took part in various activities including climbing, night line, problem-solving, fire lighting, zip line, and laser tag. They spent two nights sleeping in tents and all the children thoroughly enjoyed the camping adventure and the hands-on activities.
During this term, children in Reception learnt about Vincent van Gogh and created sketches, drawings, paintings, and collages inspired by his famous "Sunflowers."
On Thursday 9th May, Year 1 visited Kew Gardens. This term we are learning all about plants. So we went along to Kew Gardens to have a look at the different plants.
On Tuesday 30th April, Y3 had a visit from the Hillingdon Road Safety and School Travel Team.
Year 2 put on a show-stopping performance for their assembly this week, taking us through the adventures of King Henry VIII's life, reign, succession, and marriages.
