What an amazing time our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils have had on their residential at Walesby! 
Wow – we are so proud of every single one of them! The children showed incredible bravery, determination and resilience as they took on some exciting challenges.
They conquered the climbing wall.
They impressed us with their aim at air rifles.
They tackled the wobble pole with confidence and courage.
It's been wonderful to see the children encouraging one another, stepping outside their comfort zones, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Well done, Year 3 and Year 4 – you've all been absolute superstars! 
Last week, our Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic visit to Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum!
The children had a wonderful time exploring the museum, learning about the rich local mining history, and discovering what life was like for those who worked in the pits. It was a fascinating and memorable experience that brought their learning to life.
A huge thank you to everyone at Bilsthorpe Heritage Museum for making us feel so welcome and for sharing such interesting stories and knowledge with our pupils.
When Year 6 are promised a water flight... a water fight they shall get! 
A promise is a promise! 
Our amazing Year 6 pupils had an unforgettable time cooling off with a well-deserved water fight, filled with laughter, soaking surprises, and plenty of smiles. What a brilliant way to celebrate all their hard work before they move on to their next adventure!
Good luck, Year 6 – we'll miss you, and we hope you made some fantastic memories!

Last week some of our children took part in the 'Forest Games'!
Throughout the day the children showed wonderful teamwork, resilience, kindness and enthusiasm as they enjoyed a range of exciting outdoor activities, including:
Soft Archery
Tree Nets
Windchime Making
Scavenger Hunt & Nature Walk
Disc Golf
It was lovely to see everyone encouraging one another, trying new challenges and making the most of the beautiful outdoor environment. We are incredibly proud of how well they represented our school with their positive attitudes and excellent behaviour.
Each child received a 'Forest Games participation certificate' to celebrate their achievements and the memories made during the day. 
We hope the children came home with lots of exciting stories to share about their woodland adventure!
We're celebrating!
A huge congratulations to our wonderful Mr Poxon and all of the children at Bilsthorpe for achieving the Silver School Games Mark! 
This fantastic achievement is a testament to everyone's hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to sport and physical activity throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of all the children for embracing opportunities, showing great teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship.
Well done to everyone involved – what an amazing achievement!
A glimpse into Year 2’s recent learning and activities! 
We’ve been busy exploring, creating, and learning in lots of different ways. From planting seeds in science and watching our understanding grow , to taking part in thoughtful PSHE activities and developing our knowledge of ourselves and others
It’s been wonderful to see the children so engaged, curious, and enthusiastic about their learning. Well done, Year 2!
Year 5 had a fantastic day at Vicar Water taking part in a Safety Awareness event! 
The children learnt how to stay safe in a variety of situations, including around water, how to prevent fires in the home, and how to keep safe when near moving vehicles such as lorries.
These important life skills will support the children as they become more independent and help them make safe choices in the future. 
We were also incredibly proud to see everyone representing our school so well — all children behaved brilliantly, showed great respect, and used excellent manners throughout the day. Well done, Year 5!
Year 6 have been having fun in maths with a game of Strike It Out! 
After playing a few rounds, the children put their reasoning skills to the test by working collaboratively to explore different strategies and patterns.
They investigated questions such as:
Can we strike all the numbers out?
Are you more likely to win if you go first?
It was fantastic to see the children discussing ideas, justifying their thinking, and using their problem-solving skills to challenge each other. A great example of maths being full of curiosity, teamwork, and discovery!
