Theme Days

Red Nose Day was a fun and meaningful event in our school. The children came to school wearing an item of red to show their support. There was a great sense of excitement and community throughout the day. Everyone made a fantastic effort, and it was lovely to see so many creative red outfits. The children also donated money, helping to raise funds for an important cause. Overall, it was a successful day that brought everyone together while supporting others in need.

Year 4 took part in an exciting investigation linked to our class book Kensuke's Kingdom. We began by asking the question: Why do boats float but rocks sink? The children learned that boats float because their shape allows them to push water aside and spread their weight, while rocks sink because they are dense and cannot displace enough water. The children then designed and made their own paper boats. Before testing them, they predicted how many marbles their boat could hol

Some fantastic costumes! There was a definite theme to the dress up efforts in Class 7- they were out of this world!!

We were absolutely blown away by the science projects that the children created for the science fair. It was wonderful to see the creativity, curiosity, and effort that went into each project. The children clearly learned a lot about science while investigating their ideas, and they were very proud to share what they had discovered. They really enjoyed exploring the other projects as well, asking questions and learning from one another. A big well done to all the children for

However, when Wombat's friends decided to help, things went very wrong for Dingo.  Our reading ambassadors worked hard to think of ideas to celebrate World Book Day, one of their ideas was to run a competition to

Today, School council kicked off our Safer Internet Day 2026 with an assembly. They talked about this year's theme - the safe use of artificial intelligence. School council shared with the school why we are taking part in Safer Internet Day, when we might use AI in our day-to-day lives, and also told the school what to do when things go wrong when using artificial intelligence and who to talk to. This was just the beginning of our day - classes also took part in a live lesson

Thank you to our wonderful wellbeing ambassadors for leading this mornings assembly. They introduced Children’s Mental Health Week and explained why looking after our mental health is just as important as looking after our physical health. The slides helped pupils understand what mental health is, how it can affect our feelings, thoughts and behaviour, and simple ways we can look after our wellbeing, such as getting enough sleep, spending time with others, being kind and doin

Children worked in pairs to hunt for maths problems hidden around the classroom. They had to read each clue carefully, discuss their ideas, and work together to solve the problem before moving on to the next clue. This activity encouraged teamwork, reasoning and problem-solving skills, as well as building confidence in applying their maths knowledge in a fun and active way. The children showed great perseverance and enthusiasm throughout the challenge.
