  • Reception WonderDome visit

    Fri 06 Jun 2025

    The children in Reception had a fantastic time exploring the WonderDome, an interactive mobile planetarium. The inflatable dome created an exciting and immersive space where the children could sit inside and look up at a projected night sky. The children were mesmerized by the stars and planets. Matt the scientist was very impressed with the children's knowledge of the solar system! The experience sparked lots of questions and it was truly memorable.

  • Year 2 Art Workshop

    Tue 03 Jun 2025

    The Year 2 children enjoyed an art workshop where they created a huge group piece of art. The art is based on African Printing, and the artist Esther Mahlangu, tying in with their learning. They sketched prints based on nature, then carved into polystyrene so they could use ink and print them to create a whole year group project. It looks fabulous! See if you can spot it when you visit our school next.

    Well done to all the children who received a bronze certificate for achieving 100% attendance this half term.

Bronze for 100% attendance for the whole of next half term, silver for children with 100% attendance for the whole of the Summer term and gold for children who have not missed one single school day for the whole year.

    Thank you to Steve and Zayra from the National Tennis Association who visited our Year 1 pupils. They had a wonderful time in your taster session.

    On Friday 16th May, we were visited by Laura Mucha, a poet who ran an engaging workshop for our Year 2 pupils. She took the children outside to inspire them, before returning to the classroom and working collaboratively with them to write hilarious poems. One was titled, "The Day We Didn't Have a Teacher" and it was all about the time the dinner ladies accidentally cooked the teacher!

  • Year 2 Pedestrian Training

    Wed 14 May 2025

    This week, Year 2 took part in pedestrian training to help develop their road safety skills. The children learned about the Green Cross Code Stop, Look, Listen, and Think and spoke about how to cross roads safely. They then went on a short walk around the local area, where they practiced crossing at different points with adult support. The children listened carefully, followed instructions well, and showed increasing confidence in identifying safe places to cross.
