In Reception, the children have been learning about the numbers 6, 7 and 8. They used ten frames to represent each number and explored different ways to make the same amount. This helped them develop their number sense and confidently explain their thinking as they worked.

This spring, pupils can enjoy a range of fun after-school clubs, including dance, football, fencing and arts and crafts. These clubs help children build skills, confidence and teamwork in a supportive school environment, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

Our pupils House Captains participated in the final decision-making process for the school’s new website design today. This collaborative effort demonstrates the valuable input and engagement of our pupil leadership team in shaping our school’s digital presence.

By involving pupils  in this important decision, we ensure that our online platform reflects the perspectives and needs of our entire school community. 🏫

Watch this space….

Reception have enjoyed finding The Gingerbread Man this week. He ran off the baking tray then escaped in Forest school. 🏫

Pupils have been enjoying creative indoor play during the snowy weather, staying active and building teamwork and problem-solving skills while learning together indoors.

What fantastic day at Weston Park museum. We had a workshop in the morning about an Egyptian girl called Djema. We learnt about her life and made amulets to go into her coffin to take into the afterlife. In the afternoon, we explored the rest of the museum. The workshop leader was very impressed with the children’s knowledge of the ancient Egyptians!

Our students recently demonstrated community appreciation by extending heartfelt gratitude to our local police officers. As part of our collaborative initiative with the Rotary Club, students created personalized Christmas cards and prepared thoughtful treats to recognize the dedicated professionals who keep our community safe.

The police department visited our school, allowing students to directly express their thanks and learn about the important work of emergency service personnel. This meaningful interaction highlights our commitment to teaching students the value of community recognition and respect for those who serve us daily.

We are excited about our ongoing partnership with the Rotary Club and look forward to sharing more community-focused projects in the coming year.

Our school recently received a wonderful opportunity from the Woodland Trust, resulting in a generous donation of shrubs to enhance our outdoor learning environment. Yesterday, our Year 3 students and Green team collaborated with the local Rotary Club to plant these new additions to our school grounds. This meaningful partnership not only beautifies our school grounds but also provides students with a hands-on learning experience about environmental stewardship and community involvement. 🌿

Congratulations to our 15 Days of Christmas Winner, who has also attended school everyday 🙌🙌

Our Autumn Achievement Assembly celebrated the remarkable Achievement, Behaviour and Kindness of our students.

Congratulations to our Best in School Design and Special Merit winners.

Pupils in school explored innovative environmentally friendly transportation concepts for Santa’s journey. Our winners’ artistic interpretations showcased thoughtful environmental awareness and imaginative design skills. The competition highlighted pupils’ ability to combine artistic expression with ecological thinking, producing unique and engaging Christmas card designs that reimagine traditional holiday imagery.

Well done.. we are very proud of your achievements!

Our school football team demonstrated exceptional performance in yesterday’s competition, securing victories in both matches. The pupils’ dedication, teamwork, and skill were evident throughout the tournament. Their commitment to athletic excellence continues to reflect positively on our school’s athletic program. 🏆⚽

A special recognition goes to our talented player who achieved a significant milestone by scoring her first goal. Her dedication, perseverance, and athletic performance reflect the positive spirit of our school’s sports program. 🏆⚽

EYFS had an amazing time at Forest school. We made potions, practiced our balancing, climbed trees, and finished off by toasting marshmallows round the campfire.

As Year 6 complete their electricity learning, children investigated voltage. Working in small groups, children had to create a range of electrical circuits with different components such as bulbs. In their groups, children had to predict what would happen in each circuit as the voltage. The class then wrote up their results and conclusions.

Thank you to all the parents who came to join us in Class 2 and across key stage 1 for our ‘Stay and Read’. It was wonderful to see all the children enjoying and celebrating reading!

We have been doing some great continuous provision here in Class 1, we have been learning so much. Well done everyone!

Today the police visited Early Years! We learnt about the job that they did, how they help people, what vehicles they use and looked at the inform. We even had a chance to go into the police van which was great fun. Some of us even pressed the 999 button!

Year 2 have been busy doing some fabulous learning this term!
