Visit to Old Hall farm
Year 1 and Reception from Preston and Saxlingham have had a lovely visit to Old Hall Farm where we have watched the cows being milked, and met sheep, goats, chickens and Suffolk Punch horses. What a lot of fantastic farming facts we have learnt! Many thanks to all the staff for taking the children and to Old Hall Farm for welcoming us.
Visit from English Touring Opera
All Key Stage 2 Classes were treated to a musical extravaganza courtesy of the English Touring Opera. We had all practised songs for the performance of Ada and the Code Crusader so that there could be audience participation. Staff and pupils have all reported that the performance was engaging and thoroughly enjoyable, and we are so grateful to FOPPS and FOSS for supporting this event.
British Science Week
Following on From British Science Week, Robin Class and Sparrow Class visited Old Hall Farm. As well as meeting lots of different animals, and learning about how to care for them, they also learnt some of the Science involved with farming. Many thanks to Ms Ladbrooke for organising this.
World Book Day 2026
In February, we participated in NSPCC Number Day. We worked in vertical groupings (YR-6) on maths-focused activities and had lots of fun.
The children look amazing ‘dressed for digits’ and some of our children battled against children from other schools in a Times Tables Rockstars Challenge.
We also raised £95 for NSPCC.

Year 3, 4 and 5 visit to Easton College
Year 6 Maths Challenge
On 4th June, we (Cian, Natalie, Ruby Mae and Ben) went to Long Stratton High School to do a maths challenge. Out of five schools, we came third which was a great achievement for Preston! This challenge proved you need to work together to complete the tasks. During the event, we learnt what bearings were. The event was very enjoyable and a nice day out.
Outdoor Learning
Our Outdoor Learning area is currently being developed. As you can see, the children are enjoying getting to grips with new skills and activities!
Links with other schools
We have made links with Xet̓ólacw Community School, a pre-K to Grade 12 facility in Mount Currie, British Columbia, Canada. The school provides a positive and empowering learning environment where Líl̓wat culture, language and values are taught and celebrated alongside the academic curriculum.
Dragonfly Class have been exchanging letters with the children in Grade 6. We are really excited to be able to share information about our community in Tasburgh and to be able to find out about living in a contrasting community in a very different part of the world.
