Our reception children were so lucky to have baby Alfie come and visit them today. The children were able to ask his mummy lots of questions about how he is growing and developing and discuss all the changes that happen to us in childhood.
Thank you Alfie, what a wonderful morning!
We had the most amazing afternoon celebrating with our wonderful school community. We showcased our competition dance and every child showed off their beautiful party clothes with a walk down our catwalk. We had food stalls, competitions, henna, hair styling, make up, a hamper raffle and tombola.
All staff joined in the celebrations and even wore traditional Eid party wear.
It was a fantastic day 🌙
Qasim , our super star reception pupil and a member of One Voice Blackburn’s Mini East End Boys (EEBs) group, impressed youth workers with his artistic talent during a design activity organised by One Voice Blackburn.
Children in the Mini EEBs group were asked to create designs for the organisation’s annual Eid card.
While in previous years the chosen designs have come from much older children, Qasim’s artwork stood out and was selected as One Voice Blackburn's official Eid card design for 2026.
We are so proud of you ☺️
Huge well done to our children who impressed their teachers so much this month showing their forgiving and caring nature.
The reception children loved having their Year 6 friends come down and read to them during World Book Day. It was so special to see their faces light up as they listened intently to the stories. 📖 🌍 Thank you Year 6 🙏
So much fun was had by all on World book day 🌍📖
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!

Wow! What a fantastic day we’ve had, SMSJ has had our very own mad scientist (Wacky Jacky) come to school. We’ve watched lots of experiments, made our very own slime and potions and had a fantastic science filled day ! The children’s faces say it all - laughs, giggles and screams!
