This morning, Year One enjoyed an exciting trip to Three Hills, where they took part in a fun-filled range of agility activities alongside children from other schools. Throughout the morning, the children rotated around different challenges designed to develop balance, coordination, speed and teamwork. From obstacle courses to quick movement games, everyone joined in with enthusiasm and a real willingness to try their best. It was lovely to see the children supporting one ano

In Science this term we are learning about Materials. Last week, in Year 1, we had a Recycling Relay to learn about recycling materials. There was a mix of recyclable items at one end of the hall and labelled bins at the other. One by one, the children had to run to pick an item and put it in the correct bin. It was exciting to see everyone thinking carefully about where each item should go while having lots of fun running around. By the end, all the recycling was sorted cor

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

To start our new English topic this term, we took part in an exciting hook activity. We followed clues hidden around the school hall to help us work out what our new class story would be. The clues included pink paper, a builder’s hat, straw, sticks, the number 3 and bricks. These clues got us thinking carefully and sharing our ideas with each other. Once we had gathered all the clues, we were able to work out that our new class text is The Three Little Pigs . We then read th

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.
