Year 4 had a special visitor who came to tell us all about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We started in her house learning about Viking families and how their villages were run. Then we looked at different artefacts. We used stones to grind flour and used Viking tools to chisel, saw and make holes in wood. We made bracelets using a lucet and we also go to handle lots of old bones. In the afternoon we learned about battles, we each had a shield and spear and learnt to march and

As part of our science ambassador programme, we invited parents and siblings to join us as we completed a STEM workshop. We used K’NEX to design and create a machine to propel a ball as far as possible.  Everyone, including parents, had a great time and learned lots about forces and working together as a team.

Children throughout EYFS have enjoyed a magical festive event with their parents! Everyone gathered to listen to a special letter read aloud from Santa himself, which filled the room with excitement! The children then worked with their parents to create their own letters to post to Santa. They cut pictures out of catalogues, labelled their pictures and made sure they wrote their names on. It was important that Santa knew who their letter was from!  Once the letters were ready

Parents were invited to the year 1 phonics workshop. They were given information all about the Phonics Screening Check. They looked at how RML is taught in school and enjoyed playing some phonics games with their child. The children had a lovely time showing their grown up how RML is taught and their amazing phonic skills.

Last Thursday, our Year 3 pupils hosted an exciting “Outcome Afternoon” for Year 2, transporting them back to the Stone Age. The afternoon was packed with hands-on activities: making clay pots, creating cave art, building Stonehenge from LEGO, and even a mammoth-hunting game using foam javelins! Year 2 children rotated through each station, learning fascinating facts and trying out new skills. It was a fantastic way to bring history to life and celebrate the hard work and cre

The school council had a very important role to play on Friday 14th November as they were involved in interviewing parents who were interested in becoming members of the P.T.A. The School Council devised the questions, formed interview panels and followed through the interview process. Parents and School Council then chatted informally about the role over coffee, juice, hot chocolate and biscuits!

In November, we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with some of our family members. We invited them into school to hear us sing “it’s a long way to Tipperary” and to take a look at all of our beautiful artwork we have created during the term as part of our topic “World War Two”. We displayed our clay poppies, propaganda posters, Remembrance Day scenes and gas masks which we have been creating during our creative and topic lessons. We also enjoyed completing some Remembrance Day ac

We were thrilled to welcome our local firefighters to Nursery and Terrific for Twos! The children had an amazing time exploring the fire engine, sitting in the back seats, and even getting a turn to spray the hose. It was a fantastic, hands-on experience that gave everyone a fun insight into the important work firefighters do every day. A big thank you to our brave visitors for making the day so memorable.

As part of the Year 6 topic 'Natural Disasters', the Year 6 pupils created an interactive exhibition to raise funds for a local charity. Work from throughout the term was put on display and the visitors had chance to create disaster poems, bookmarks and have a photo in front of a natural disaster!
