This week Year 2 learnt all about road safety with the Wizard Theatre.  

We looked at how to cross the road safely and how important it is to not run when crossing the road. 

The children identified reasons that might make them late to school and considered some ways to be on time so that they do not have to travel to school in an unsafe way. 

Children could tell us all how important it was to wear a seatbelt in the car and how this could keep them safe. 

We finished our session off with a really fun quiz in which children were asked questions about what they had learnt. 

Hillingdon Council is excited to announce their Community Resilience Roadshow.

On: Saturday 9 May 2026 
Time: 12 - 4 pm

This free family-friendly event brings together local emergency responder partners to help residents learn how to stay safe, prepared, and resilient in an emergency—while having plenty of fun along the way! You will have the chance to explore real emergency vehicles, meet local responder partners, take part in hands-on activities that teach practical safety and preparedness skills, learn simple steps to stay safe at home, in school and in the community, and enjoy free food!  It's a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn about emergency services, ask questions, build confidence, and develop life-long preparedness habits.

Year 1 visited Windsor Castle, and it was an unforgettable experience. We watched the Changing of the Guards, and we especially loved the music as the band marched past. Inside the castle, we explored Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, which was incredibly detailed, and then walked through the State Apartments, where every room looked like something from a storybook. One of the best parts of the day was the Knights’ Workshop, where we had loads of fun learning and taking part in activities. It was a brilliant trip from start to finish.

Well done to all our attendance winners. Bronze certificates were given out to children for 100% attendance this half term and silver certificates for children who have achieved 100% for the whole term. All of these children were entered in to an attendance raffle and one lucky winner was drawn from each year group. The Easter Egg Hunt Attendance Challenge also took place this week for all the children who attended school every day during the last week of term. Well done to all of these children and remember to aim for 100% attendance in the Summer term.

Year 1 took part in a Cricket Taster session where they had the chance to try a mini cricket game in a fun and engaging way. The children took part in batting and fielding just like a real game of cricket. The session encouraged them to  try a new sport and enjoy being part of a team.

Today, we were delighted to welcome parents and carers into school for our Year Two OPAL Playday. Families had the chance to hear about our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) journey before joining their children outside for a full play session. The playground was filled with excitement as children proudly shared their favourite activities, explored new play opportunities, and demonstrated the confidence and creativity they have developed through OPAL.

The event was a fantastic celebration of play, and we were thrilled by the positive feedback from parents—many of whom commented on how much they enjoyed taking part and how valuable it was to see OPAL in action. Several have already asked when we will be running another playday!

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the Minet Infants staff who made the morning such a success. We look forward to continuing our OPAL journey together.

Today, the Reception children enjoyed a magical trip to the Beck Theatre to watch The Tiger Who Came to Tea performed live on stage. The children were thrilled to see the tiger appear and eagerly joined in with the interactive parts of the show. Laughter filled the theatre as the mischievous tiger helped himself to all the tea! Seeing this familiar story brought to life made the experience feel truly special. It was a day full of fun and joyful memories that the children will treasure for a long time.
