Today, the F2 children immersed themselves in their new literacy text, “Bears Don’t Eat Egg Sandwiches!”
To bring the story to life, they made their very own egg sandwiches while exploring key vocabulary from the text, such as delicious and tasty—and we think they’d agree their creations were both!
A fun (and yummy!) way to bring learning to life—well done, F2!
There has been so much excitement in F1 as we launched our learning on “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”.
The children arrived to find quite a mess… 👀 Chairs knocked over, things out of place—what could have happened?
I wonder… who made all the mess? 🐻🍯
We can’t wait to see where their learning takes them next!
F2 Music Fun
F2 have been busy learning how to play the drum! They explored the musical terms rhythm and beat, and had lots of fun putting their new skills into practice.
It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing confidence—well done, F2!
Year 1 have begun their exciting creative arts enquiry, exploring the question: “Why isn’t all art the same?”
The children learned about the artist Piet Mondrian and his abstract geometric style. They then had a go at recreating his work, using primary colours and squares to create their own masterpieces!
We’ve been so impressed with their creativity and enthusiasm—well done, Year 1!

We’re delighted to welcome you to our school community and look forward to the exciting journey ahead!
Happy Easter Half Term, everyone! 🐣🌸
What an amazing day we’ve had in school today, finishing off with a magnificent Easter bonnet parade. The creativity on display was incredible – from the fantastic bonnets to the beautifully decorated hard-boiled eggs!
A big thank you to all the parents who came along to watch the parade in action – it made the day even more special.
Wishing you all a wonderful break, and we look forward to seeing you again in two weeks! 💛
Easter Assembly! 
A reminder for children to bring in their hard-boiled, decorated eggs and Easter bonnets ready for our Easter Assembly tomorrow!
We’re hoping the sun stays out and the rain stays away so we can parade in style around the playground from 2:30pm. Parents are very welcome to attend at this time and cheer on the children.
The eggs and bonnets will be judged throughout the day, with winners announced during the assembly. If the rain makes an appearance, don’t worry—we will celebrate indoors in the hall instead!
We can’t wait to see all the wonderful creations!
Our school maintains a nut-free environment to protect students with nut allergies. We ask that families refrain from sending any nut products to school, including peanut butter, nut-containing cereals, and chocolate spreads with nuts. Your cooperation in this matter helps us maintain a safe and inclusive learning space for all students. Thank you for your partnership in supporting the health and wellbeing of our school community

It’s been so lovely to finally enjoy a bit of sunshine ☀️
F1 made the most of it with some outdoor learning, taking their activities outside and enjoying the fresh air. The children loved being able to explore, learn and play in the sunshine—it really does make such a difference to everyone’s mood!
Here’s hoping this beautiful weather sticks around a little longer!
What an amazing volcano cake that Robyn in Y3 has made at home! 🌋 It looked incredible and was absolutely delicious too!
