Year Five enjoyed two full days of Design and Technology, which gave us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in our learning and explore our topics in depth. On Day One, we focused on structures. The children investigated different types of bridges and explored how structural strength can be affected by shape, design and materials. We began by exploring structures using our own bodies. The children had great fun creating different formations, carefully considering stren

This week, Year 6 enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Kingswood. The days were filled with excitement, laughter and fantastic memories! The trip gave everyone the chance to build confidence, develop independence and strengthen friendships outside the classroom. The children displayed resilience, bravery and determination in all activities- they made us extremely proud! By the end of the trip we returned home with muddy trainers, wonderful stories to tell and memories to last a

Today, year 2 and year 4 headed down to the beach, where they enjoyed chips from the fish and chip shop for lunch and had time to play in the glorious sunshine.

During this term, more children have been chosen to go to Glendale to read and chat with our Reading Buddies. Both children and adults enjoy the experience. Not all children have the chance to interact with such a different generation, so this is a great opportunity to mix and learn from each other. We are grateful for all the time the Buddies give up to be with us.

Lots of fun has been had this term in James' Mini Movers - with two older children assistants. They have spent some time working on interacting with props to enhance their movements. The children have used a clear plastic ball to represent a floating bubble.

We joined hundreds of other schools in a high-energy workout to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. We discovered how moving our bodies can boost our mood, build resilience and support our mental wellbeing. Both staff and children enjoyed fifteen minutes of exercises in the hall - what a great end to our school day!

What a special treat we had today! The incredible Sacconi Quartet delivered a phenomenal performance and workshop with us in the school hall and what an amazing privilege it was. We were so lucky to experience such a special performance from this world famous classical music string quartet. We learnt that the Sacconi Quartet was founded in 2001 by four graduates of the Royal College of Music, Ben, Hannah, Robin and Cara. We also learnt some Italian words about the way the mus

This week in Ducklings Class, our COOL time has been full of exciting seaside adventures and hands-on learning! The children loved our fishing game, where they 'caught' fish and read the numbers they found, helping to build confidence in early maths skills and number recognition through playful learning. In the sandpit, the children enjoyed making sandcastles and designing their very own flags. This was a hugely popular activity that encouraged imagination, fine motor develop
