    • World Book Day 2026

      Published 10/03/26

      World Book Day was a truly magical celebration of stories, imagination, and creativity across the whole school! The excitement was clear to see as children arrived eager to share their love of reading.

      The children made exciting dioramas at home, inspired by the books they were reading in class. From a range of the Wil Tribe Hero books, their diorama creations were bursting with detail and creativity.

      Each class was also given a special challenge to design and decorate their classroom door, inspired by the habitat of their targeted books. The results were incredible—our corridors were transformed into a journey through a variety of habitats, showcasing the children’s teamwork and artistic flair.

      It was a fantastic day that celebrated not only books, but the joy of reading and the wonderful creativity of our pupils!

    • Science Week - STEM

      Published 09/03/26

      This year's Science Week was a fantastic celebration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), with pupils across the school taking part in a range of exciting and hands-on activities.

      Throughout the week, children explored real-world challenges, carried out investigations, designed and built creative solutions, and developed their problem-solving and teamwork skills. The activities encouraged pupils to think like scientists, engineers, mathematicians and innovators while making learning fun and engaging.

      Our STEM focus helped children understand how these subjects are connected and how they play an important role in everyday life and future careers. It was wonderful to see so much curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm as pupils embraced new challenges and shared their discoveries with others.

      Science Week was a great success, inspiring our children to ask questions, think critically and develop a lifelong love of learning.

    • Year 1 Toys - Visit from the Library

      Published 27/01/26

      Year 1 enjoyed a fascinating visit from Mrs Ramsden from our local library as part of their History learning about toys through the ages.

      Mrs Ramsden brought along a collection of toys from the past, giving the children a wonderful opportunity to see and handle toys that children would have played with many years ago. The children had great fun exploring and playing with the different toys while learning about how they were used.

      During the session, the children discussed the similarities and differences between old and modern toys. They noticed that many older toys were made from materials such as wood and metal and did not use batteries or technology, unlike many toys today.

      The visit was an engaging and hands-on learning experience that helped bring their History topic to life. A big thank you to Mrs Ramsden for sharing her knowledge and helping the children learn more about toys from the past.
