This week, our children took part in a special assembly led by the NSPCC  about the importance of staying safe and speaking out. During the session, the children were introduced to Buddy , the NSPCC’s friendly green mascot.

The assembly helped everyone understand that all children have the right to: Speak out and have their

Last week, school council did a survey to find out how children feel about using technology in school. Today, they bravely gave an assembly to share with school what they had learned. As a result of our survey, the student council decided we need to have charging monitors in school to make sure the chrome books are charged, and we also discussed adding more opportunities into school for creating digital art. We will now start talking about what our Spring student voice survey

We first got to see how a real Stone Age person would have dressed and what they would have looked like. Then,  we got to create our own tribes and had to survive a day in the life! Throughout the day, we tested our hunting skills with some archery, learned how to start a fire to cook our meals, and then had to build

In Year 4, we learned about significant Black people who made a difference by standing up for what was right. We studied inspiring figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X. We also explored modern-day inspirational Black people, including Usain Bolt and Mo Farah. We read some of their most powerful quotes and each chose one that inspired us. Then, we created bold and colourful artwork using felt-tip pens, adding our chosen quote to make our picture st

The Year 5 and 6 football team faced their toughest match yet against St Paul’s, ending in an exciting 2–2 draw. After a hard-fought first half that finished 0–0, Tipton came out determined in the second half. Despite going 1–0 down, the team showed real resilience and fought their way back into the game. Ollie lifted spirits with a fantastic free kick that found the back of the net, levelling the score. The defence worked tirelessly throughout the match, making some brillian

This week in Science Club, the children got hands-on with a fun and creative STEM project — building their very own scribble bots! Scribble bots are simple robots that move around and draw patterns on paper, and the kids loved experimenting with them. Each bot was made using a small motor, a battery, and a few craft materials, like cups, markers, and tape. Once assembled, they watched in delight as their bots vibrated, wobbled, and scribbled across the paper.

Tuesday 14th October 2025 In Cooking Club, we made a healthy version of spaghetti Bolognese. We began by chopping peppers and mushrooms, then added them to a mixture of chopped tomatoes and Quorn mince. While the sauce simmered, we boiled spaghetti until it was cooked. We learned that using Quorn mince and plenty of vegetables is a healthy way to make this classic dish, reducing fat while still keeping it tasty and filling.

These are the same techniques they’ll be using next half term when they make their own bread, so t
