Today, the children did absolutely amazing during our Remembrance Service and two-minute silence ❤️

Our Year 6 children confidently read a beautifully practised poem, and every child across school took part by laying a wreath or a poppy stick in our very own Remembrance Garden 🌺

It was a lovely, thoughtful moment for our school community, and we are incredibly proud of how respectfully the children remembered and honoured those who have served and sacrificed for us.

We will remember them. ❤️

A Taste of the Stone Age in Y3! 🍞

Our Year 3 children have been getting hands-on with their Stone Age learning through some delicious food preparation!

First, they became hunter-gatherers! The children searched our middle garden to find their ingredients, just like people would have done in the Stone Age. They then prepared a tasty fruit salad, slicing bananas, chopping strawberries and squeezing in some fresh orange juice. Delicious! 😋

But the fun didn't stop there! Next, they got their hands messy making their very own Stone Age flatbreads. The children mixed and kneaded their dough before toasting their creations in a pan.

A fantastic practical learning experience, bringing history to life through exploration, creativity and a little bit of mess!

Fabulous work, Year 3! 👏

🇬🇧 Bringing History to Life in Y6! 🎨

As part of their English learning, our Year 6 children took part in an immersive drawing activity inspired by the events of the Battle of Dunkirk.

The children used their creativity to illustrate key facts and events, whilst incorporating important historical vocabulary into their work.

To make the experience even more immersive, they listened to music from World War II, including songs that were popular at the time and helped to keep morale high. 🎶

A fantastic way to bring history to life, develop vocabulary and deepen their understanding of this significant moment in history!

Well done, Y6! 👏

🎆☕ Bonfire Night Fun in F2! 🔥

As part of their enquiry learning last week, our F2 children enjoyed immersing themselves in the Bonfire Night experience!

Wrapped up warm in their cosy coats, the children enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate whilst watching a spectacular firework display. 🎇

It was a lovely opportunity to bring their learning to life, creating a magical experience full of excitement, wonder and lots of smiles! ❤️
