Do you like eggs for breakfast, or maybe for lunch or dinner? Well in PSHE Year 2's whole lesson was about...you guessed it...eggs! Together, we had the chance to look at real life eggs, we observed their different colour, the speckles on some and not others and the different sizes of our eggs. After this, came the exciting part, we got to crack our eggs into bowls. We had to work as a team so that we didn't get any on the floor (Shame Mrs Semple wasn't as careful!) We then p

Today in PSHE Year 2 we’re dreaming big! We began our lesson by thinking about “dreams for our future” and goals that we hope to achieve. We all shared our ideas and watched a video about job roles to inspire and broaden our horizons. After this, we took park in a drama session where we acted out job interviews, and wow, were some of our future bosses tough! To finish our lesson, we thought about the word “aspire”  and what this means in relation to our future dreams. Well do

Before Christmas, the children took part in a wonderfully creative Artist Day, which blossomed into a truly special festive event for our whole school community. During the day, each class learned about a famous artist, explored their unique style, and used this inspiration to design and create their own beautiful Christmas tree decorations. These unique pieces of artwork were then displayed on Christmas trees throughout the church for our after-school Christmas Tree Trail. S

Have you ever thought about the differences between sounds that musical instruments can make? Some are loud, some are quiet, some are tricky to play, others appear more simple! In our assembly today that's exactly what we did! We had a range of instruments and thought about the sounds these made, were they the same or were they different? After this we played together as a band - our instruments made very different sounds but they worked together. So what was the underlying m

We ended the term in the most special way with our annual Carol and Christingle Service, held on Friday afternoon at St Mary and St Eanswythe’s Church. As we arrived, families were welcomed into the church by our school Christmas choir, who have spent much of December spreading festive cheer throughout the local community. The choir have been visiting care homes and supermarkets, sharing popular Christmas songs and traditional hymns, and it was a joy to see them open our serv

Today the whole school went to our local cinema, Silver Screen, to watch Zootopia 2. We were very lucky to still be able to visit this side of Christmas as the cinema has been closed for ages to accommodate some building works, they just re-opened in time for us this morning. Everyone had a great time and were extremely well behaved.

During this term more children have had the opportunity to go reading with our Glendale buddies. We really appreciate the time that they give up to hear our children read and the children I take always say they have enjoyed themselves.

Last week, the Year 1 and Year 2 children did a fantastic job performing their nativity, Baubles. The story followed a group of school children who discovered baubles on a Christmas tree at their school. Each bauble told a different part of the Nativity story - from angel Gabriel visiting Mary to the birth of baby Jesus and the visit of the shepherds and wise men. The children sang beautifully, spoke clearly and showed great confidence on stage. Their hard work in rehearsals
