  • Reception - My Community

    Fri 23 Oct 2026

    This week has been all about learning who helps us in our community, and what an exciting week it's been! We had fantastic visits from the police and the fire crew.

     

    The children have absolutely loved meeting these everyday heroes and discovering the important roles they play in helping to keep us safe.

  • Year 4 - Anglo Saxon Day

    Tue 20 Oct 2026

    Year 4 had a fantastic Anglo-Saxon Day!

     

    Their cosutmes were amazing and they all looked fabulous! The children made their own shields, learnt how to weave, explored Anglo-Saxon food and listened to exciting stories from the past.

    A huge thank you to Dave and Ruth for sharing their amazing knowledge and teaching us so much. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned a great deal.

  • Year 4 - Bank of Dreams and Nightmares

    Tue 20 Oct 2026

    Class 4T enjoyed an inspiring visit from the Bank of Dreams and Nightmares, whose mission is to encourage children to develop a love of writing. During the session, pupils were challenged to write a set of instructions and top tips about a subject of their choice. Their imaginative ideas included How to Tame a Crocodile, How to Bring Back Dinosaurs and even How to Become a Banana! The children had a fantastic time and produced some fabulous writing. We are delighted that Class 4C will be taking part in the same exciting workshop after the half-term break.

  • Year 6 - PSHE SCARF visit from Harold!

    Thu 15 Oct 2026

    Year 6 had a brilliant visit from Harold this week. They participated wonderfully in a lesson about looking after themselves and their health as they grow up. 

  • Year One - Things from the Past Museum

    Tue 13 Oct 2026 Mrs I

    Year 1 put on a wonderful 'Things from the Past' Museum on Tuesday. We were lucky enough to have some amazing experts visit school to talk to the children about the artefacts that had been brought in. Their knowledge and enthusiasm helped bring history to life, and the children asked some fantastic questions.

    Everyone enjoyed exploring all the interesting items on display. The children had the opportunity to play with some old-fashioned toys, try writing with a fountain pen and even have a go at typing on a real typewriter. It was amazing to see how much technology has changed over the years.

    We would like to thank everyone who contributed artefacts to our museum. We all learnt so much from the experience and had a wonderful time stepping back into the past.

    Well done, Year 1, for being such brilliant historians!

  • Year 3- Characters, model making and collages.

    Fri 09 Oct 2026

    This week, 3H were visited by ‘The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares’ again for another imaginative writing opportunity. This time, we were given information about a robbery and had to work out who or what had carried out the crime based on the objects they had left behind. We used this to create our own characters and then read them to the ‘bank manager’ over a special phone line. This week, the whole of year 3 also made clay models based on our inner emotions and spent some time in the nature reserve creating natural item collages of prehistoric monsters from our Stone Age topic.

  • Year 5 - Geography trip

    Fri 09 Oct 2026

    On Monday, Year 5 walked along the cycle path to the park and ride, rugby club and Mercy Road. Along the way, we explored all of the different land uses in our immediate community. Later in the week, we created our own maps and identified all of the land uses.  

  • Year Two - Kindness

    Fri 09 Oct 2026 Mrs Satherley

    🌟 Year 2 RE 🌟

    This half term, Year 2 have been learning about how Jesus showed kindness to others. We listened to the Christian stories of The Good Samaritan and The Paralysed Man, and discussed how these stories teach us to care for and help those around us.

    The children have thought carefully about the many ways they can show kindness in their own lives, both at school and at home. This week, they put their ideas into practice by writing their own amazing Kindness Acrostic Poems.

    We are incredibly proud of their thoughtful work and the wonderful examples of kindness they continue to show every day. Well done, Year 2! 💛✨

  • Reception - The Three Little Pigs

    Fri 09 Oct 2026

    In Drawing Club this week, we read The Three Little Pigs and used our imaginations to design and draw a home for one of the pigs. The children had so much fun collaging their dream houses and using finger puppets to bring their stories to life.

  • Year 1 - What are all these things from the past?

    Fri 09 Oct 2026 Mrs ireland

    This week, we have been looking at artefacts that have been brought into school. We have asked questions and found out what the items were made from and what they were used for. We have had a go at drawing some of them and are looking forward to our 'Things from the Past' Museum next Thursday.
