Just like our pupils, the team have shown determination, resilience and teamwork throughout the tournament.

Come on England! Bring on the quarter-finals! 🏆🏴

What another fantastic week we have had in Year 3!

The absolute highlight was our amazing Year 3 assembly. Every single child performed with incredible confidence, enthusiasm and determination in front of our families, staff and the Year 2 children. They worked tirelessly to learn their lines, songs, and actions and they should all be extremely proud of how their hard work came together.

We also had an exciting transfer morning where the children met their new Year 4 teachers and classmates. Everyone enjoyed taking part in fun activities in their new classrooms and embraced the experience with highly positive attitudes.

In our academic learning, the children explored the life of Boudicca in History and wrote excellent, descriptive diary entries from the perspective of fossil hunter Mary Anning. Meanwhile, in Maths, they continued to build their geometry confidence by identifying the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, recognising angles and solving practical problems.

As we approach the end of the school year, we are looking forward to another action-packed week ahead. We cannot wait to show great teamwork during our upcoming Sports Days and celebrate the Year 6 pupils by watching their final performance.

Well done, Year 3, for another brilliant week of learning, teamwork and achievement!

The past few weeks have been incredibly busy in Year 5, and we are so proud of everything the children have achieved.

OFSTED in challenging conditions!

During the recent OFSTED visit, the children were fantastic ambassadors for our school. Despite the challenges of the heatwave, they showed great resilience, remained focused on their learning and continued to display the excellent manners and behaviour we see every day.

Assessment Week

This week has been a week filled with assessments which help us to measure the progress children have made throughout Year 5. We couldn't be prouder of their positive attitudes and hard work during our testing sessions. They approached each task with determination and should be very pleased with the progress they have made this year.

DT

In DT, the children have enjoyed bringing their fabric designs to life. They have been using wax resist and fabric dye safely and sensibly to create a range of patterns for their soft toys. We are looking forward to beginning the sewing stage of the project next week.

History

Our History lessons have focused on Ancient Egypt, where we have been exploring the different periods of this fascinating civilisation and investigating what made it so successful over time. We will continue this learning by looking into mummification and the afterlife.

With just a couple of weeks of the school year remaining, there are still lots of exciting activities to enjoy. We are looking forward to ending a fantastic year with plenty of fun and celebration!

What a glorious day we have had for our annual Fun Sports Day! Lower School enjoyed their events this morning, while Upper School took to the field this afternoon for an action-packed session filled with enthusiasm, teamwork and plenty of smiles.

It was wonderful to see so many children taking part, supporting one another and giving their very best in every event. A fantastic time was had by all!

A huge thank you to all of the parents and family members who came along to support the children throughout the day. Your encouragement and enthusiasm helped make the event even more special.

The scores have been collected, but we'll have to wait a little longer to discover which School Team will be crowned this year's champions... 👀🏆

Well done to all of our pupils for their outstanding effort, teamwork and sportsmanship! 💙💚
