What a wonderful week in Year 2! In RE , we looked at prayer books and wrote our own prayers inspired by Corinthians’ words: “Love is patient, love is kind.”  The children thought deeply about what love means to them and produced some truly thoughtful prayers. In English , the children have been busy creating their own versions of The Further Adventures of The Owl and the Pussycat . We’ve seen some wonderfully imaginative ideas, clever use of rhyme and alliteration, and some

Our School Council met today to create a child-friendly version of our behaviour policy.  They proudly represented their classes, clearly setting out our school values and expectations. They’re excited to share their work in assembly next week and launch a competition to make the policy accessible for all!

In their RHE lessons, Year 3 took a closer look at the media and the influence it can have on all of us. We know that not everything we see in the media is always true and that sometimes social media can show the "highlights" of life, not the reality. We talked about the effect that this can have on the people who view it and how it might make them feel.  In our music lesson with Miss Hurley, we recapped the musical vocabulary that helps us to understand more about tempo. We

Year 5 have had a brilliant week in school! We have enjoyed lots of poetry in both RE and English, exploring different styles and having fun playing with words. One of the highlights was taking part in the National Day of Storytelling, where we loved creating and performing our own raps — there was plenty of creativity and confidence on show. In DT, we have been busy designing bridges made out of spaghetti. The children showed great teamwork and problem-solving skills as they

Year 3 enjoy taking a brain break in between our busy timetable of lessons. This week we loved completing 4 minute drawing tutorials and were all thrilled with how our art work turned out.  We also continue to enjoy our Rugby sessions with coach Gavin. Today, we progressed to playing mini games in small groups. We can't wait to take part in the inter schools tournament after half term.

Year 1 Get Creative with 3D Art! 🎨 Year 1 had lots of fun creating their own 3D artwork this week! The children used paper and card to design and build imaginative sculptures, exploring different shapes, textures and techniques along the way. They practised cutting, folding, twisting and joining materials, showing great creativity and concentration throughout the lesson. It was wonderful to see how proud they were of their finished pieces and how confidently they could talk

Year 6 had an exciting and inspiring visit to Nissan today, where they learned all about how cars are made. We explored how construction lines work and discovered the importance of teamwork and organisation in large-scale production. Pupils enjoyed designing and building their own Lego cars and were challenged to think carefully about how production could be made quicker and more efficient. We also saw impressive robots at work in the factory and practised skills needed for d

Year 2 ended the week with a lovely Celebration of the Word alongside their families. The focus was the Bible, with children confidently sharing links to their learning in RE lessons, where they have been exploring a range of stories from the New Testament and discussing their meanings and messages. In DT, the children worked creatively with clay to design and make pinch pots. They carefully used the slip and score technique to join pieces together, adding extra details and d

What a wonderful couple of days for Year 2! On Friday, they led a beautiful Celebration of the Word with their families, and this morning they led the whole school in worship. They prayed, read and moved thoughtfully as they shared their learning about the special books we use in Mass. A very reverent and meaningful experience for everyone.

Year 1 have been working incredibly hard this week, focusing on reinforcing their knowledge of numbers to 20. To make learning fun and hands-on, the children enjoyed ordering numbers by creating colourful paper chains — a great way to build confidence and understanding through practical activities. In English, excitement is building as the children have begun planning their very own lost alien  stories. They have shared some fantastic ideas and shown brilliant imagination, an

Year 5 have had a great week in school. In their English lessons, they have been reading a version of Anne Frank’s Diary  by Josephine Poole and Angela Barrett. This week, everyone shared their opinions in a brilliant piece of writing about the importance of Anne Frank’s diary today. On Tuesday, as we commemorated those who died during the Holocaust, the children asked some thoughtful and respectful questions about Anne, her family, and her legacy. This week, the children als

Year 6 visited the Theatre Royal today to see the new musical ‘Wierd’  — and they loved it! Amazing songs, gripping special effects, and plenty of wow moments. A fantastic morning out for everyone! Year 6 enjoyed a super workshop in the afternoon all about carbon monoxide. They learned about the dangers it can cause, the symptoms to look out for, and how to stay safe at home — including planning where carbon monoxide detectors should be placed. A really informative and import

Year 4 continue to produce some stunning pieces of work during Art, where they have been carefully creating collages. In T1 Rugby, they really impressed their coach this week, getting to grips with attacking and defending, in small sided games.

Year 3 enjoyed getting hands-on in their Science lesson today! They learned all about the rock cycle, using sweets to simulate molten rock formation. The best part? They got to 'eat' their rocks at the end! A fun and tasty way to bring learning to life!

In English, the children have been thinking carefully about how Beegu felt at different parts of the story. They loved sharing their ideas before designing their own alien sock puppets, which will become the main characters in their very own lost alien stories. They have also be practising their letter formation! In Maths, Year 1 have continued exploring place value and have really enjoyed learning all about the number 20! During PE, the children carried on with their team bu

This week in Year 6 has been full of reflection and achievement. Our class worship group led us thoughtfully through our theme of service , linking it to the reading of The Washing of the Feet . We spent some quiet time reflecting on how we can serve others, finishing with the hymn ‘Servant King’ , which brought the worship together beautifully. We have also been very impressed by the effort some pupils have put into writing and presenting their own speeches. They spoke confi

As part of our English lessons on The Owl and the Pussycat , the children worked in pairs to explore the story in depth. They created thoughtful questions and imaginative responses, taking turns to ask and answer, which helped them practise their speaking, listening, and creative thinking skills. This week, our school nurse visited to talk to the children about the NSPCC’s PANTS underwear rule. The session focused on how to recognise safe and unsafe situations, understand bou
