We had a great time celebrating Red Nose Day.  Our class ambassadors, Percy and Zara, performed jokes in our assembly and as a result, inspired many of us to create our very own joke books!

Red Nose Day 2024 saw a sea of red, along with some very worthy ‘Design Your Own Red Nose’ winners (2 from Primrose Class!) and a comedy section of the assembly!

Thank you to our Class Ambassadors, Rory and Lola, who helped take a lead role in organising this day!

This year's focus for Science Week was 'Time'. In Primrose Class, we made 4 boats in our groups out of different materials. We then watched how, over time, the boats began to absorb water, sink or remain floating. Before carrying out this investigation, the children discussed how to keep it a fair…

This year's focus for Science Week was 'Time'. In Buttercup Class, we made jelly to help us understand time.  The children investigated if adding fruit to jelly changed how long it took to set.  All but one of the groups made different flavour jelly with different fruits.  The group that didn't…

Well, as always, one of my favourite days of the year did NOT disappoint. To celebrate, we begun the day with a parade as a whole school, where each class went around the playground to give everybody any opportunity to see each other’s efforts.

This week is all about World Book Day! Today, we were very lucky to have the author and illustrator, Simon James, in for a whole day. Every child had a session with the author. He shared his childhood favourite stories with us and explained how he was once a child at primary school learning to…

Year 3 have had a wonderful day kickstarting or Ancient Greek day with a wonderful followed by an acting workshop where the children visited an Ancient Greek market. The children loved this experience and were absolutely fantastic and getting into different roles. 

We spent our afternoon…

What a great morning we had singing with Kip! The Y1 children taught the Y2 children one of the songs and actions they had learnt and vice versa.  They were all super teachers!  The children then listened carefully to some pieces of music performed by Kip.  We really enjoyed singing with…

On Thursday, Years 3 and 4 took part in an interactive concert. They were introduced to a range of different musical genres and instruments, and they had opportunities to get involved in the concert itself through song. 

To our surprise the parable of the lost sheep was about much more than a wandering animal. Through the magical story telling of ‘Open the Book’ we learnt about perseverance and that the powerful message in this parable is that God seeks out his lost children! God cares greatly for each and every…
