Last week, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Blists Hill Victorian Town as part of their history learning. The children spent the day exploring what life was really like in the Victorian era and were amazed at how different it was from today! During the visit, the children met costumed Victorian characters, visited the old-fashioned bank, bakery, post office, sweet shop and chemist, and discovered how people lived and worked over 100 years ago. The children b

We had a wonderful workshop in Reception learning all about gross motor and fine motor skills. The children enjoyed sharing their pencil grip song with their parents whilst showing them how to hold a pencil. We also did lots of activities together to strengthen our fingers and core body to promote super writing skills!  100% of parents attended in Class 1- together we give our children the best learning experiences and success!  Click on the link below to see the information

Year 5 choir members took part in our annual singing event at St Barts Church. They sung a variety of songs - some tricky, but certainly rose to the challenge! The song by ABBA - 'Thank you for the music' really showcased their voices!  They took part in a concert for the parents in the evening too, and thoroughly enjoyed performing in a church! Well done to all children involved today.

Thank you to our School Council for organising a fantastic Children in Need day! They planned three exciting activities to help raise money for this amazing charity. Children and staff came dressed as superheroes or in something yellow or spotty. This year’s theme was ‘Challenge 25’, and throughout the week pupils were encouraged to take on a fun challenge linked to the number 25—such as doing 25 star jumps each day, reading for 25 minutes, completing 25 kind acts, or even wr

We have been learning about Remembrance and taking the time to reflect on sacrifices that were made by soldiers and those affected by war both past and present. We focused on the importance of peace, community and gratitude. We created our own poppies and laid them outside as a symbol of respect. We also created poppy artwork.

Across school we have been learning about Bonfire Day and why it is a key Historical event in British History.  We focused on Guy Fawkes and learnt about the Gunpowder Plot and why he is such a significant Historical figure. We added this to our class timelines to identify when in History this key event took place. We enjoyed then using this learning to create Bonfire pictures using different media. Year 3 children delved into an exciting extract from You Wouldn’t Want to Be

Our Year 6 pupils led a moving Remembrance Day assembly to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served in conflicts past and present. Through readings and reflective performances, the children shared messages of peace, gratitude, and remembrance. They demonstrated great maturity and respect as they helped the whole school understand why it is so important to remember. We are incredibly proud of the empathy and thoughtfulness shown by all of our Year 6 pupils dur

We have had a brilliant week of learning all about bonfire night 🔥  We had the best bonfire day, making our own fire, learning about fire safety, toasting apples, making editable sparklers and enjoying some hot chocolate with campfire songs ☕️🍏🔥🔥

As part of Anti-Bullying Week 2025, our children took part in thoughtful discussions about the importance of kindness, respect, and standing up for others. Each class created their own Kindness Agreements, setting out promises on how they will work together to make everyone feel valued, safe, and included. The children shared wonderful ideas about how small acts of kindness can make a big difference — showing that at our school, kindness really does matter every day. Use the

Today our school was full of colour, fun, and LOTS of odd socks as we celebrated Odd Socks Day 2025 to kick off Anti-Bullying Week! Everyone joined in – pupils and teachers came to school wearing bright, bold, spotty, stripy, and wonderfully mismatched socks. Odd Socks Day is all about celebrating what makes us unique. It reminds us that being different is something to be proud of – because that’s what makes our school such a special place. We also talked about the importance

A big well done to our School Council for their fantastic efforts in supporting the Poppy Appeal with poppy sales!

We were very lucky to welcome The Stringcredibles  — a quartet of world-class orchestral musicians — and Nate Holder, a professional saxophonist and award-winning author! Their incredible show, The Butterfly Lands , took us on a magical journey of migration, told through the metaphor of a butterfly. The story followed the butterfly’s travels across different islands, exploring music, language, faith, clothing, and food — and celebrating how diversity brings richness and beaut

What an amazing adventure! Today, our children were transported back in time to the fascinating world of the Stone Age. We built roaring fires and baked our own bread (which was absolutely delicious!). The children practised hunting skills with bows, arrows, and spears, and worked together to create shelters using only natural resources—just like real Stone Age people. For the ultimate challenge, we teamed up to move heavy stones using logs and rope, just as they did to build

Our Rocksteady musicians are hard at work rehearsing for their December performance.

Children from Year 2 to Year 6 took part in The ‘ Chance to Shine’ programme. This provides children with an introduction to cricket while developing life skills like teamwork and communication.
