The Nursery children had an excellent time performing their carols at our 2025 Carol Concert. We are so proud of the resilience children have shown to learn the actions and words. Thank you to all of the parents/carers who came to watch, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. 

Year 1 performed their Nativity, Knock Knock, and it was a wonderful success.
The children showed great confidence and enthusiasm as they sang songs, spoke clearly, and brought the Christmas story to life. Their hard work and dedication were evident throughout the performance, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone who attended.

The performance made staff and families extremely proud, and it was a lovely way to celebrate the festive season. Well done to all of the Year 1 children for such a fantastic Nativity performance.

This week, the Reception children performed their festive concert, Songs for the Season. The children sang with confidence, creating a joyful atmosphere. Parents/ carers enjoyed a festive mince pie and joined in with the singing. It was a wonderful celebration!

Thank you to everyone who attended this year's Winter Fayre helping raise money for the school. There was lots activities including a raffle, pin the nose on the reindeer, name the teddy, Tombola, lucky dip, guess the number of sweets in the jar, face painting and a penalty shootout. It was great to see so many families attend and have lots of fun at the Winter Fayre. Stay tuned for updates on how much was raised!

Children enjoyed the Robin Hood panto in school today. The panto followed the legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men as they battled against the Sheriff of Nottingham to help the poor and needy of Sherwood Forest. The children enjoyed joining in and helping find the villains of the story.

What fun some of the Reception children had performing their festive 'Songs for the Season' concert in Asda Supermarket, Hayes. The children sang beautifully, spreading lots of festive cheer and raised a fantastic £82.00 in donations from members of the public. Well done to the children for representing the school so proudly.

Christmas got off to a fabulous start at Minet today with Christmas Jumper Day and lunch. Everyone looked wonderful in all their bright and colourful Christmas jumpers and there were even some light up jumpers! We all enjoyed a delicious turkey Christmas lunch together and had a special Christmas dessert. Today marks the beginning of lots of Christmas events planned over the next week and we look forward to inviting parents/ carers into school to take part. 

Today some of the Reception children visited Triscott House, where they performed our 'Songs for the Season' concert. The children sang beautifully and brought lots of smiles and festive cheer to the residents.

This week, Nursery had a very exciting visit from the mobile farm! The children were thrilled to meet a wonderful range of animals, including ducks, chickens, ponies, goats, guinea pigs and rabbits. Throughout the day, the children were encouraged to get hands-on and develop their confidence around animals. They enjoyed feeding them carefully, stroking their soft fur and feathers, and even having a go at brushing the ponies and goats.

The visit created lots of lovely conversations about how we care for animals and look after living things. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to show gentleness, curiosity and responsibility, and they thoroughly enjoyed it!
