This week, all of our children took part in the school’s Mini Marathon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We would like to say a big thank you to all parents and carers for ensuring the children came prepared for the day. It was wonderful to see so many children arriving at school proudly wearing their running numbers and showing great enthusiasm for the event.

Year 2 pupils took part in an exciting Judo taster session, where they were introduced to the basics of this traditional Japanese martial art. The session focused on developing balance, coordination and respect. Through fun games and beginner techniques, they practised controlled movements and gentle throws on soft mats, building both confidence and teamwork skills. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and showed great enthusiasm, listening carefully and supporting one another throughout the session.

Year 2 had a special visit from poet Laura Mucha, who worked with each class to co-write their own poems. The children had a wonderful time, especially when they went outside to listen carefully for different sounds around them. They used what they heard like birds singing, leaves rustling, and distant noises to inspire their creative ideas. With Laura’s guidance, the pupils felt proud to share their thoughts and express themselves through poetry, making it a memorable and exciting experience for everyone involved.

Our Year 2 children have been learning about pedestrian safety to help them stay safe near roads. They practised how to stop, look and listen carefully before crossing and learned to always use a safe place to cross, such as a zebra crossing or traffic lights. The children also talked about why it is important to take a step back from the road. As part of their learning, they discovered how wearing a seatbelt keeps them safe in a car by protecting their bodies if the vehicle stops suddenly. The children showed great understanding and are becoming more confident in making safe choices to cross the road.

Our Eco Warriors have also been very busy working towards creating an Eco Code. As a team, they shared their ideas and worked collaboratively to develop the code. They are now designing eye-catching posters to display around the school, helping to promote their important message and encourage everyone to take care of our environment.:...

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.

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.
